This is my comfortable position. Wonder if that'll change as I age ;-; (No seriously, I'd like to know so I can do my best to avoid a lot of physical pain I don't have to have.)

While I appreciate improvements (disclaimer: I'm not Anna), as far as I know, things pad around floors. I checked that same website for "pat" to make sure I wasn't missing some way that word could be used to describe an animal walking. I am pretty certain cats pad across floors, not pat across them.

Although "padding" is apparently "walking without noise" according to that dictionary I linked, so that might not be the best replacement either considering the sound of the cat walking wakes up the speaker. (I knew the "walking" part but not the "without noise" part until I made this reply.) Then again, https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pad is more generous to us here, not requiring the walking be without noise, so maybe it does work.

The most inoffensive, on-topic, accurate posts and comments get downvotes. I mostly chalk it up to a few trolls, and also accept the possibility I am unknowingly treading on someone's sensitivities. Goodness knows I've seen posts that reflexively make me feel bad that clearly were not intended to do that, stuff posted on Lemmy Be Wholesome that I felt wasn't actually that wholesome but actually harmful and wanted to downvote despite the mass upvotes. I try to be sensitive and think of others' feelings, put down common trigger warnings, but also I can't account for every single possible sensitivity or viewpoint, especially when posting on the internet to the public, and neither can those people who inadvertently made me feel bad or posted something I personally thought did not fit Lemmy Be Wholesome that everyone else clearly thought was wholesome.

I wouldn't worry about downvotes unless there is a significant ratio of downvotes compared to upvotes.

(I did not create this community, and I am not a moderator of this community, but I'm usually the only one posting anything. Can we change that?)

Thanks for disclosing, usually it is a community's creator posting it here although there are exceptions, so I assumed you made the community.

This is very much not my lane, but props to you for trying to single-handedly keep what seems to be a non-harmful community going, and good luck with attracting new contributors.

Thanks, I needed this too. On Mbin, not Lemmy, and I have no image in the post and there is also no link for me to click. Just the title "Timeline of Linux Distributions". I checked on mander.xyz and the image does show there.

It would be nice to do something similar without locking it down to Amazon, a known Bad Company™

I remember reading a lot of these books as a kid and I enjoyed them. Now I wonder what I did with them…

Oh hey, another BookWyrm user in the wild!

So I thought my town did not have any food pantries, but I went to look it up anyways because of your comment. Oh wow was I wrong. Donation made partially because of your comment!

Just checked your home instance. feddit.org seems to be a Lemmy instance. I'm on Mbin, which is a totally different software. That could be the difference.

EDIT: Just checked how the comment appears your instance. It indeed shows up as one line instead of two on your Lemmy instance, though running that line through https://babelstone.co.uk/Unicode/whatisit.html confirms my suspicion that it shows it shows as an en dash, not an em dash.

Not on my end
