Lol I didn’t even see that, fair enough 😄

Came prepared to downvote this for being common sense, but judging by the comments it actually is surprisingly unpopular! Well played.

I can only speak for how it shows up on Mastodon, but over there any hashtags we try and add here just show up as plain text and don’t show in the actual tag feed, so it does nothing for discoverability.

UK answer: city 100% no question.

Being able to actually get places and do things and have people to do those things with, I don’t even know how a small town could ever compare. Grew up in one, currently living in another one, both crap.

Thank you for experiencing this so the rest of us don’t have to.

!nowhereelsetoshare@sh.itjust.works is for exactly this!

Crispy Hawaiian tofu with egg-fried rice. Normally eat it with regular rice but this is a special day and husband wanted to treat me since I’ve not been at all well these last few weeks. Bloody love egg-fried rice.

Now absolutely stuffed and feel like I never want to eat again, although he’s already prepping our two-person Christmas dinner for tomorrow so I won’t tell him that!

You’re a monster but honestly I respect it.

Fatigue mask seems cool, until you’re just spending 7 extra hours a day procrastinating doing the thing you thought you’d use all this extra time to achieve.

The glasses are OP. With them, nobody can even be mad at you for all the procrastination.

Never!

All kinds of things really although mostly they’re on my list to learn so I’ll have them one day. Tatting might be my main one for 2024.

(Edit: Forgot the “why”. Mostly because it’s come up twice lately here on Lemmy and I feel left out while other people are making pretty lace)

I do wish I could learn to draw a bit better, to play the piano, and to speak multiple languages. But realistically I don’t have that kind of time so have to go with things that are quicker to pick up!

To add to Otter’s reply, one of the best ways to keep growing after the initial announcement is simply just to make sure you mention and properly link it whenever it’s relevant to the conversation.

a) Lets people know the community exists and b) gives them a way to go straight there without having to faff about.

I must admit your logic is compelling

…I can’t believe you’ve done this. Holy crap, thank you!

Honestly don’t even know what to say to this. I guess I better get designing a Steam page!

Same, I follow a search result there sometimes but essentially just logged out there, signed up here, and that was that. The Reddit Days seem like another lifetime now.
