The photo looks amazing! If you’re ready for the maintenance and the labour market lets you do it, then do it!

Chat@beehaw.org•I'm sick of social media. What are some good RSS feeds that you would recommend? (Yours count too!)English
5·3 years agoSome personal blogs that I like (mine included), all of them are indie and as far as I know they all are maintained by a single person (so they don’t post several times a day!):

Chat@beehaw.org•I'm sick of social media. What are some good RSS feeds that you would recommend? (Yours count too!)English
5·3 years agoTwo websites that I use quite a lot to find cool personal blogs/RSS feeds:
- Ye olde blogroll is a hand-curated list of interesting personal blogs in English
- The IndieWeb webring is a webring where people with indie blogs (ie. no substacks, no big websites, etc.) can sign up to get more visibility, it’s a real treasure trove

Fantasy@lemmy.ml•Artemis Fowl, is it good for 8-9 year old?English
3·3 years agoI read them around that age and loved them. And I’ll second @LoganNineFingers@lemmy.ca: make them read Percy Jackson!
I also really like the Akata trilogy (Akata Witch is the first tome).

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•[@asklemmy](https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy) How do you listen to music / podcasts? At what places?English
1·3 years agoMusic: I have a few CDs that are in need of a CD player and also have Jellyfin (no server, only local) to listen to my downloaded music on my TV (which mostly comes from Bandcamp). For my phone, I have the Bandcamp app, it’s basic but it does what I need from it.
Podcasts: via Podcast Addict on my phone (unfortunately no browser version, but that’s gotten less important with the years as I spend less time on my computer and the time I do spend requires enough focus that I don’t listen to podcasts), during sports sessions (podcast for warmup & cooldown, audiobook for the session itself), commutes, walking, cleaning & cooking.
You should post here: !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml
This is not a technical support community.
(but also i’ve had the same issue since the last lemmy update, i suppose a bug made its way in there.)

LGBTQ+@beehaw.org•aside from here are there any lgbt fediverse spaces?English

Sounds like an issue with Jerboa more than with Lemmy tbh if you can’t properly block a community. Log in to the website and block the community there.
My suggestion would be to back it up on the Internet archive manually once in a while.

Chat@beehaw.org•Nobody cares about your blog | Reasons to Maintain a Personal BlogEnglish
7·3 years agoI really liked this read! I blog, and I like my blog, but sometimes get stressed out because I feel like nobody’s reading it (I’ve removed all analytics on purpose because I used to get obsessed with them). Blogging for the simple act of blogging, and not for engagement, is the best!

Food and Cooking@beehaw.org•[Discussion] What are you eating/cooking this week? July 10, 2023English
0·3 years agoIt’s so hot outside, I’m almost only making salads. Yesterday was:
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 150g cherry tomatoes, halved
- 100g feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 peach, diced
- Balsamic vinegar
Most of my days are a variation around that until things get fresher (peach can be replaced with a yellow or red pepper depending on what my veggie dealer has in stock).

LGBTQ+@beehaw.org•trans and nonbinary people (and cis if you apply!), how did you pick your name?English

That sounds like pretty great care! I’d recommend using a conditioner that’s made for coloured hair, otherwise I think you’re good to go! (And don’t shampoo it too often, twice a week should be enough for most people - bleach dries up the hair and so does shampoo, and dry hair means dandruff & greasy hair!)
