Happy holidays to you, hope you’re been enjoying the season as well!

Thank you for the update and your dedication to keeping the instance running smoothly.

What a terrible way to go, I’m so sorry they were in the wrong place at the time.

This felt very raw, real, and brutally honest, I applaud Ren for sharing their experience, thoughts and feelings in this format.

Thank you for sharing! I’ve never heard of the artist before but I want to hear more of them now.

I’m sorry to hear about your episode, I hope the time away is helping and that you will feel better soon♥️.

This week I’d like to dive more into the self-help material that I have and to also set a combo of long and short term goals.

Thank you for sharing what personally helps you with your BDD as a male. I’m sure that many others out there still aren’t in the know about the technique, so it’s great on you to try to change that by speaking about it here! What’s more, it’s backed by the experts too, I made sure to bookmark DermNet myself.

Thank you for the shout out too in your post, it makes me happy that the video could help you make your points.

For me, there is grief in having to explain to others why I don’t want to go.

I want to eat this! Thank you for sharing the recipe :)

This is beautiful, I feel something like pride recognising some of the communities on this and knowing that communities came together to make this a reality!

You’re welcome! Agreed, this is felt and I can safely say that out of the other instances I use, here feels like one of the most stable of them all!

Thank you for keeping us running on the latest software!

Glad to hear about your progress and the support you’ve been lent!

Every little bit counts and it shows, you’re getting there in spite of the challenges you face. So, so true. You’re welcome 😊

No worries about the delay, life happens. I’m sorry to hear that your week didn’t go as well as you’d would’ve hoped, this happens to all of us from time unfortunately . I like the steps you’re taking to make things better, so I hope you’re healing with the self-care practises and such.

How are you coming along with the chores? I think it’s great that you set up a reward system for doing them. I like using this strategy myself when I remember to use it. You’re right, you deserve to just be, take care!

This is all very amazing, can’t wait for the insights that this discovery might provide us!

Loved the artist’s illustration as well, it helped paint the picture of what’s happening.

Very informative! I had come across some of the settings mentioned there, in Firefox hardening guides but never understood what they meant until now.

I like science, tech, nature and mental health topics and some more.

I never commented that much on Reddit and always preferred lurking.

On Lemmy, I lurk too but I make an effort to comment more, for the reason that I feel more comfortable here and I think that engaging with content posted is a way of giving back to the community.

It’s annoying how it comes creeping back when things are starting to look up.

Although I never used Teddit, this makes me sad. I very much appreciated the work of the developers and hosts of these open source front ends to Reddit did.

I’ve used several of them myself. I like Mastodon for the UI but not so much the tooth length. I like that you can filter out content you don’t wish to see your timelines using keywords. This can be done on Misskey, Pleroma and Friendica too.

Finding like-minded people to talk to is hard there, same goes for Pleroma and Misskey. This is why I like the community feel of Lemmy, talking about a common topic of interest is so much easier and less stressful than tooting into the void.

Pleroma is good too, with a very generous character limit and choice of multiple frontends including Mastodon’s. They say Pleroma is lighter on the resources than Mastodon but I wouldn’t know since I never ran my own instance.

Friendica is great for connecting to other networks in the Fediverse like Diaspora, Mastodon, Pleroma etc.

Misskey looks nice, almost like a mixture of Mastodon and Pleroma but it doesn’t play nice on older hardware, so I mainly accessed it via an app.

Those were a lot of flashes. Hope the woman’s recovery will go well, I was fearing the worse as I read the article.
