Mmm...wonder if any of those goes into making a plumbus?

 

The post on the rules got me thinking about this.

The need to have some form of an understanding of decentralised systems is a slight downfall to the fediverse concept, in my opinion. Just signing up can be confusing for a start as people generally don't want to think further than providing an email to log into whatever is being served. People certainly do not want to think about how they conduct themselves without bots and algorithms moderating them. This is probably not our average reddit user I'm talking about here. I think Reddit has somewhat prepared it's subscribers in that we are now used to sub instances, moderated by (mostly)humans, within a single server instance. Hence the migration here. Now, let's do multiple server instances all over the world, all intertwined, with multiple layers of regulations dependant on the server you are posting on et cetera?... could be a bit of a brain full. Kind of sounds like I had to google my way into this community, right?

So here we are, just a few, who made it over. I don't know whether it was just my subs, but I always had a strong feeling of a big SA presence on Reddit. Some good, some bad. Nonetheless, I would love to get the best of the South African presence from reddit here. Does anyone feel that way, and if so, what are your thoughts on how we can make this move easier for our fellow war heros lost on read-only reddit?

I agree, that's good perspective. I think encourage positivity it likely better worded. (Never been a mod, just trying to contribute.)

That being said and done, we need to remember that this is not reddit, and our community rules do not supersede the instance owner's code of conduct. For communities who are in lemmy.world, for instance, it needs to be noted what they say regarding controversial, "inflammatory", topics, and even free speech. It's very broad and nothing unreasonable, but might be good to remind people that all community rules taken into account, they stick to the rules of this community's instance code of conduct as well. It's not majorly complex, but lemmy.world does allow for what I suggested, thus making my suggestion just as simple as giving a link to the instance's code of conduct.

I hope this helps a bit.

Omg...Thought I was the only one.

What I do Is I have a threshold. of switching on above say 75% and switching off below 70%. So it doesn't have a set time. It's just making sure things come down to at least 70% before it switches off. It does get more complex in winter as humidity tends to be higher by default, but I am playing around with the thresholds to figure out the optimal percentages. a fan on it's own cant get the humidity down to below the general humidity in the area. Nonetheless. Fun to play with and works like a bomb.

Keep things positive. South Africa has much beauty and many positives that keeps us going. Positive news and being proud of our heritage is what keeps us all together. I think a lot of people started dreading r/southafrica at some point because we were beginning to become negative and also fought in the comments. This also links to the point you suggested. I really think we can do it South Africans! We're all family. We've a got a bit of a clean slate here. And heres to a good Tuesday to all!

For me one of my favourites are my extractor fan control in my bathrooms. I have a switch on the fan and a humidity sensor close by. Turn on the shower and the extractor will turn on until the humidity is lowered enough, then switch off. In addition I have a static programmable button to press should you need it for other reasons. I just love the world of entities and how they link together to make something functional.
