Just a guy on the internet, totally a human and not an alien, if that’s what you were wondering.

  • This is more of a broad suggestion, but try to look for a discount grocer in your area. Where I live we have one called Grocery Outlet, they sell a lot of generic and near-expiration products for a bargain. Whenever I go, I’ll find things I like that are around half the price they’d be at a typical grocery store.




  • I would probably recommend trying Imgur. You need to link a phone number to the app when creating an account, but that actually helps cut down on bot traffic a lot, so it’s pretty much all real humans who will see your posts.

    One user on Imgur that I see post often will put up a whole gallery of wholesome memes, then a random Go Fund Me link at the end just to help them get attention. I can’t say how effective it is, but it sure does get visibility once it hits the front page. Maybe try something like that but with some pics and info about your kitty?

    Good luck, I hope you get the help you need!

    Imo it feels like the reddit migration has died down, but a good chunk the users that have stuck around are actually engaged in their communities. I’ve been seeing more instances created too, which is cool because it means people are hosting their own.

    More recently I’ve noticed that Sync actually plays embedded videos now, which is probably the best update since its release. It’s feeling a lot more user-friendly and that should help it keep growing organically.

    The only times I use reddit anymore is browsing with old.reddit a couple times a week. I don’t even login to that site now because I don’t engage with anything, I just check the news and stuff then come back to Lemmy.







  • Imo blocked users get less engagement, therefore it helps to some degree. Also, unlike reddit, it’s somewhat difficult to browse the Fediverse without being logged in. I’d guess that if any problematic content does slip through, it reaches a much smaller audience than if it were to slip through on reddit just because of how things are decentralized here.

    edit: I tried it again and I now agree that it is easier to browse with an account. I saw a lot more content than the first time I tried it ~2 months ago

    It is called ‘boofing’ and the number of people that do it is more than 0. Because of how the body absorbs substances that way, people can get a stronger effect than consuming them orally.

    What the fuck did you just fucking type about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class at MIT, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids with Anonymous, and I have over 300 confirmed DDoSes. I am trained in online trolling and I’m the top hacker in the entire world. You are nothing to me but just another virus host. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on the Internet, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with typing that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we chat over Lemmy I am tracing your IP with my damn bare hands so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your computer. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can hack into your files in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in hacking, but I have access to the entire arsenal of every piece of malware ever created and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the world wide web, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking fingers. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit code all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
