Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. That’s Good Omens

I don’t think Lemmy tracks your views. So it can’t exclude them from your feed.

If you sort by hot or hop few hours, you should get more new posts. And stop refreshing the feed.

The city should

Chocolate eggs? We always hide real eggs. Cooked and painted.

How is chromium “not well known”? It’s a pretty well known fact that most popular browsers (except for safari and Firefox) use chromium

Russia does a lot of terrible things. Invading countries. Killing POWs and civilians.

Domestically they have assassinated opposition leaders, tortured prisoners to death and persecuted members of the LGBT+ community.

But criminalizing being an asshole? I don’t really care that much.

Even though Russia pretends it isn’t, it is a country at war. Censorship is pretty normal during wartime.

And making fun of disabled people isn’t okay. Whether the country is at war or not. Maybe not quite not-okay enough for prison. But I can’t say that I’m terribly upset

The instance is the part after the @. They host users and communities. Admins manage the instance.

The community is the thing you subscribe to. Moderators manage the community.

I’m pretty new.

Lemmy is great. It doesn’t have as many active hyper specific communities as reddit. But there are still plenty of active communities.
There is no attention based algorithm. But the more basic sortings work well enough. I already spend too much time here.

I tried mastodon and Twitter a few years back. I still have absolutely no idea how that whole microblogging thing is supposed to work. Am I just supposed to scream into the void? Same thing with pixelfed.

If people link peertube videos from Lemmy, peertube works well. But the feed needs work. I don’t really care about the topic of the video. So the filter by topic isn’t that useful. I’d like to filter by language. And then find well researched videos by someone who is enthusiastic about a topic. Any topic. I don’t know if there simply aren’t that many or if I just can’t find them.

I think attention based algorithms could help retain new users. I think there are many who try fediverse platforms and just don’t stay long. And if we get more users that stay longer, we get more content, and then niches can form.

To not lose current users, and just because of mental health, it would probably be better if the attention based feeds could be turned off in the settings.

I don’t think reddit even has an option for alttexts. Lemmy really encourages it.

Social media networks without attention based algorithms also aren’t quite as addictive.

They are also supposed to limit freedoms, where they infringe on the freedom of others.

For example the freedom to shoot people infringes on the freedom to be free from physical harm. So it should be limited.

It currently has 214 518 English original works that aren’t smut

Just because it’s frozen and made in a factory doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s unhealthy.

Vitamin C is pretty much the only nutrient that gets degraded by freezing and storage. Usually the problem is that the nutrients weren’t in there to begin with.

Having a look at the ingredients is really worth it. Of course that is a lot more difficult in a restaurant compared to a grocery store. Thanks to regulations.

Considering that I am struggling not to loose weight, I don’t mind a lot of calories.

When I make baked potatoes at home I usually use 2 of the biggest potatoes I can find. Per person that is. Then I use Quark with 40% fat, mix in some cream, at least a teaspoon of salt, green onion and some frozen herbs.

I don’t think restaurants make it any less healthily.

Your point about using oil instead of butter is valid enough. Rapeseed oil has a lot of alpha-linolenic acid. Butter a lot of saturated fatty acids. But oil is the cheaper ingredient. Butter is important to archive the traditional tase. If restaurants use butter I won’t hold it against them.

For dishes where you can choose your own carb-rich sides I would appreciate some whole-grain options though. For example cooked spelt. It pairs wonderfully with many traditional German dishes. Far-eastern and Indian restaurants could offer whole grain rice.

White grain is the worst offender when in comes to empty calories. Saturated fats at least still fill you up as much as unsaturated fats. You need twice as much white grain to feel as full as you would with whole grain. And you’ll be hungry an hour later.

I do, actually. Our local restaurant of local cuisine makes an awesome salad with game meat. It’s big enough to really fill you up.

Also, Maultaschen are hardly unhealthy

Not really. Teenagers and young adults used to party a lot, and those parties used to have a lot of alcohol

I actually rather like the taste. Although it’s certainly an acquired taste. Like salminak

AO3 is not predominantly smut. It allows smut. So people go there to find it. But most works aren’t smut. And it has a really powerful filtering system, so you can find what you want.

Most of the time I go there for humour.

It really depends on the restaurant. Eating Chick-fil-A every day certainly isn’t healthy. But there are plenty of proper restaurants that are.
