Yes, I got a lot out of reddit, and I miss it sometimes. Lemmy doesn’t seem to have enough of the right people yet to generate enough high quality content to compare to reddit.
Y-combinator’s HN has been sort of filling that void for me though.

I gave up trying to make Mastodon work. Two minutes of scrolling and I always end up closing it with an overwhelming feeling of cringe.
Mind you I could never get in to Twitter either. Maybe it’s just the format? It reinforces ego/personal brand over the value of the actual content.
God forbid our endless feed of cat pictures and black and white telephone poles gets polluted!
DataGrip is the one JetBrains IDE I can’t work without and continue to pay for. I’d love to find a pure OSS alternative, but there’s nothing else like it.
The thing about forests around cities is they tend to get cut down and paved over. That’s much harder to do with mountains.
Alkaline batteries lose voltage as they drain, so 1.5V is at full charge but it drops down to about 1.2V very quickly and then stays at 1.0V - 1.2V for most of the alkaline battery’s operating life.
NiMH batteries tend to consistently stay at their nominal voltage (1.2V) through their entire charge.
So in other words, if you have devices that really expect exactly 1.5V per battery, they would only work with alkalines at the very top of their charge. Nowadays most non-garbage circuits should be designed to work just fine with anything above 1V per battery.
She herself seemed to lack this sort of nuance. She refused to play in Israel, for example, effectively accusing and dismissing an entire nation as oppressors.
I suspect she was, deep down, not a particularly reflective person. We all know people like these. Feel a feeling, act on it immediately, and maaaybe consider the implications and consequences later. Maybe. Or just double down, and never dare to truly look at yourself in the mirror.
It’s unfortunate because these types of people also sometimes turn out to be incredible artists. I assume it’s the combination of talent plus the ability (/curse?) to experience raw feelings much more strongly than the rest of us.
Fair question, and looks like I overstated that link.
Chronic stress affects your immune system (via cortisol, long term inflammation) and that is no bueno for all sorts of health outcomes, including likely making it harder to fight off tumours.
But to my surprise, there doesn’t actually seem to be solid evidence of a causal link between stress and increased risk of developing cancer.
Don’t take this the wrong way, but if you’re worried about getting cancer from 3-4 drinks per year, it sounds like you might be dealing with a fair bit of anxiety.
Stress caused by anxiety is bad for your health and a possible cancer risk, and almost certainly worse for you than 3-4 drinks a year. I don’t want you to now be anxious about your anxiety, but this might be a good thing to focus on to improve your general quality of life (and possibly reduce your cancer risk in the process).
You could start by talking to a doctor or other medical professional about it, or try finding a therapist in your area. The therapist search on https://www.psychologytoday.com/ is a good place to look, or try an online service like Better Help.
[edit: corrected overstatement about stress being a major cancer risk]
HTML injection / XSS vulnerabilities tend to be a sign of amateur hour to be honest. Made me a bit worried that I’m hitching my reddit escape wagon to the wrong technology. But sounds like this was due to instance-specific customizations rather than the core Lemmy tech, so hopefully we’re still on solid ground.
Technically it started as two words… cat + abbreviation of the latin name (nepeta).
I don’t know how i feel about this pedantic argument being my very first contribution to Lemmy, but here we are.
Anything can be one word if you remove the spaces 🤷♂️
Noooo! Main reason I’ve stuck with wefwef over Memmy is the name. Voyager is bland and boring.
What about cat nip?
My mom, who learned english later in life always says “nip cat”, maybe unconsciously trying to follow the rule?
Them’s hunting eyes.
