Good work :)

The morning activity reads “walk, lunges”, right? Don’t forget to do something for your hamstrings as well, like (weighted) single leg Romanian deadlifts or Nordic curls. Otherwise they’ll become undertrained and susceptible to injuries.

Isn’t the first issue fixed with Scaled sorting?

One of the main reasons I like using Mastodon for work is the fact that it’s completely separate from the large social networks. It’s only used by people who are committed to creating a new, better place. I don’t think users of Threads (or Xitter, for that matter) would have anything to offer for me.

It allows for more precise content filtering. Say you hate Star Trek but you like the people on the Star Trek instance, you can now solve that in one click

Adding an option “Block all users from this instance” would be a good addition, though.

Maybe you could create a community for blog readers.

That got me very confused as I never had that happening on my Reddit feed.

Same for me, and I never had trouble finding new content. Discovering subreddits (and communities) through word-of-mouth worked perfectly fine.

Also, unlike Reddit, Lemmy has a community browser.

In the Netherlands there are plenty of online retailers like Coolblue who are doing well by competing on quality and customer service, despite prices being a bit higher (ironically). Next working day delivery is standard, so that isn’t an issue.

Bol.com is also really successful and much like Amazon, including its problems.

I assume this is because of a first mover advantage; for a long time, Amazon was only available in the UK, Germany and France*, so that created a major disadvantage. I’m guessing this might apply to a lot of smaller European countries.

*maybe other countries too, but at any rate not in the Benelux.

Maybe we should ask spez to come over and help generate engagement :P

It’s why I’ve gone back to reading an old school newspaper. The format naturally limits the amount of bad news they can fit in a day, and it has regular sections on art, culture, philosophy, nature etc.

It is a very good transcription, though.

Yeah, it feels like everyday there’s a new post asking “HEY GUYS SHOULDNT WE ACTUALLY FEDERATE WITH THREADS?”.

Friendica is also a good way to follow Mastodon and Twitter accounts, so you combine that.

By not installing it.
