It feels like if Twitter and LinkedIn had a baby, it would be Threads.

Thank you for the reassurance, I think I will share my hobby once I start! Maybe someday you'll see a gemstone on your feed and recognize my name. 😄

Thank you! You're soothing my nervousness quite a bit lol, I'll take the plunge and start posting as soon as I have my equipment!

I've never used Instagram before but I would like to start posting photos, however the vibe I'm getting from Pixelfed is this is a medium for photography art. I'm learning to facet gemstones and thought it would be cool to do photos of my gems that I cut to show my talent progress. Would that kind of non-photography art fit in on Pixelfed?

Some clever coding genius should host an instance for a bot they make that stays federated with everyone, and the entire point of the bot is to crawl across posts and anyone posting from Threads gets a nice public reply about why Threads is a toxic instance and they should switch to a non-Meta one immediately.

Looks like I need to buy me some cute devil horns to wear when I go vote.

Sauce? I'm in Texas and I just tried to access it hoping to collect a screenshot of the blocked message to share with you all, but instead I now need eye bleach.

Edit: OP your comment is misinformed. PornHub just blocked Mississippi and Virginia. Texas will be blocked on September 1, and Montana in January, but they are not blocked right now. Hopefully this info saves others from surprise penis.

To piggy back on this, images in between texts also aren't showing, despite the improvements so far.

https://lemmy.world/post/195020 <-- this post is a good example, in web it's very different from Memmy.

Hey, smoked salmon has its place in the culinary world too!

I learned the hard way that baked potatoes can explode if you don't poke holes in them. I must've baked a hundred before I learned this lesson, I guess I was lucky?

Mlem and Memmy are genuinely both awesome. I recommend you get both and try them out. I’m currently leaning towards Memmy but Mlem still gets some attention from me too.

Each still has their little bugs and quirks to work out, and the creators are very receptive to feedback and suggestions. Please feel free to check out their respective community and post your feedback when you have it!

I woke up this morning without a Memmy update alert and my first thought was "OMG is gkd ok????"

Then I get an update pushed to my phone while pouring my coffee... The universe is right again.

These are made from an old jelly roll I had laying around. It turns out one jelly roll piece is just a little more than twice the length of your average dpn, so they're a perfect size. The more you know!
