Upvoted the photo. I'd downvote the caterpillar if I could.

Looks like mullein. Pretty common roadside weed in many parts of the US. Allegedly medicinal though I've never tried it and wouldn't harvest any that had been marinating in exhaust fumes.

So they did. Apparently I've eaten enough pizza to impact my reading skills. Sorry about that.

That is...amazing.

Beans & Greens - infinitely flexible by varying your choice of legumes, liquid, greens, and seasonings

Spaghetti sauce or Sloppy Joe meat can be made in almost any quantity and is at least a few steps up from McDonalds

For more formal recipes, we enjoyed these two:

Keep your eyes open in the future...this is almost certainly not going to be the last round of community creation. The admins are being very deliberate about the process though.

Horrifying. And a splinter of the movement apparently led by men. It's easy to promote consequences that you're protected from by your lack of a uterus.

Assuming innovation, it seems like there would still be a need for some way for producers to inform potential consumers. I'd love to see advertising move from "create demand" to "provide information". Not at all sure how that might come about though.

Meanwhile, I personally get by just fine with blocking as many ads as possible, which is almost all of them, and going out and searching when I need information. But that probably doesn't scale to busier people.

Depended on the size of the team in my experience. With a project of ~50 devs split into 10 teams, I was having to resolve conflicts perhaps every other PR. But training and standards for workflow can certainly help.

A few ideas:

  • Help make Beehaw the place you'd like to live in. Post interesting content in the communities that interest you. Add thoughtful comments. Be(e) nice. Don't feed the trolls.
  • Invite other nice people to join us.
  • Donate to support the server costs.
  • Volunteer to moderate a community you care about (there will be another call for moderators soon enough as we grow).
  • If you have the skills, contribute to the development of Lemmy itself.

I'm not an official spokescritter, but I can assure you the Beehaw admins aren't ignoring the issues. But ultimately it's going to come down to someone getting PRs in to the code. I hope someone gets some performance-focused PRs in soon.
