I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

  • Some Lemmy compatible platforms do stuff like that

    • allow you to see both Lemmy style content and Microblog style content in the same platform
    • allow you to follow individual users.
    • include hashtags that federate out so the Lemmy posts appear under that hashtag for microblog users

    Something like that could work, as long as it’s an additional option and not a change to how communities currently work.

    Mixing hashtags with communities sounds like a bad idea because of how much content would come in at once. For example, there are a few RSS feed communities and already those ones are overwhelming to keep up with. Most posts sit with no comments and 1 vote, which doesn’t work for the vote & comment based way we organize content here.

    We can improve how we federate these platforms together, but I prefer the tagging method. That way it’s a conscious decision to post a microblog post in a community.


  • A family pet in Oklahoma has had a dog of a day when playtime sparked an emergency response. A pet monitoring camera captured the pup chewing on a power bank before a bright flash and a fire ignited. The two dogs and the cat inside the home managed to get out safely via the perfect escape hatch.

    I just shared that article yesterday from iFixit about how to keep batteries from bloating during storage. An additional point might be to keep it away from creatures that might chew on them.
