Hey dude - I won't remove this post because I'm a little late to the party and it's received a good number of upvotes, but in the future, please be mindful of the sidebar rule: "Images should be wallpaper size (at least 1920x1080, or mobile equivalent)." 1200x829 is a fairly low quality image to use as a wallpaper. Thanks!

Hey mate, thanks for the feedback! I'm trying my best to keep this place populated with content but there's only so much I can do. There's no restrictions on posting to the community (except for a few postings rules/guidelines, see the sidebar), so if you have a wallpaper preference or would like to see different types of content, please feel free to contribute and share. Cheers!

I've never really thought of coordinating them tbh but it sounds and looks like a neat idea. I've always kept the lock and home screen the same but lately I've been changing the wallpaper to roughly match the season. So right now it's a snowy mountains for winter.

You're more than welcome to post on shitty food porn. There's not a lot of activity and the votes will let you know if it's the right place (I don't remove posts unless they're breaking rules). It kind of has two interpretations - pictures of shitty food (self explanatory) or food porn that's shitty (ie bad lighting, bad presentation, etc).

Or let me know if you start an "average food porn" community and I'm more than happy to link it in the sidebar of SFP.

Thanks! I'll try converting the file format and see if that'll work. I successfully uploaded a JPEG last night, so maybe it just doesn't like PNG files anymore 🤷‍♂️

There seems to be an issue with uploading large images. I don't know if anyone else has noticed it but I'm getting the error when trying to upload wallpapers to /c/wallpapers. I think it might be related to file size? Or maybe file format? It's a 13MB .png file. I don't remember running into issues with the old version when posting similar content.

Not the OP, but I've got the following bots blocked and it massively improved my Lemmy experience.

• TushyBot@booty.world
• bot@lemmit.online
• linkbot@lemmy.link
• video_feed_bot
• bOt@zerobytes.monster
• rlululemon@lululemmy.com

I've seen that option but unfortunately not every NSFW post is NSFW because of nudity. Like some of the post in the Ukraine community are marked NSFW for war reasons.

This is the thing I'm happiest to see and I hope it helps Lemmy grow more. Being able to block the NSFW/porn instances is such a quality-of-life improvement. I've got nothing against porn, but it's a bad look if anyone can see your screen and every third post is nudity (even if it's blurred).

Hey dude - I hate removing posts because I appreciate it whenever someone contributes, but I don't think this would be considered "offbeat". This sounds like something more suited for the science-based communities.

Good news then, because there's a second half to the story!

I gave up on online dating last year and I won't be back. If that means I'll end up dying alone, I'm honestly more comfortable with that idea than suffering though anymore of the bullshit that's Tinder/Bumble/Hinge/etc. It's become such a miserable experience for both sides (men and women).

As someone who had used online dating on and off for 10+ years, I can tell you one of the big problems - money and greed. I know it's always easy to just "blame capitalism", but I've seen first-hand the paradigm shift from an actual useful service (i.e. a way to meet people that you would otherwise not meet) to the blatant greed it's become. The dating apps are so obviously profiteering off people's loneliness it's fucking disgusting. Back before Match bought everyone up, these services used to actually be okay for what they were.

Can't help with a briscola edit though cause I'm on mobile.

Thank you for that! I've added that to the sidebar regardless of how this vote moves forwards. It's actually just a good rule to have. I've gone with "no older than 2 months" to give a little wiggle room and I'll see how that goes. I can always make it tighter down the line.

No worries mate! It's something that's been on my mind for a while and you finally lit a fire under my ass to do something about it 😂

Now if only I can take better care of some of my other communities 😬

A post like this is really making me wonder about the direction of this community. Not in a bad way. This is great content. I've been wondering for a while if I should expand the idea from "Offbeat News" to just general "Offbeat" things (news and other items). I need to formulate a mod post now lol.

Cool story bro.

It's probably not the answer you're looking for, but depending where you live, periwinkle is considered an invasive species and it's generally recommended to plant something else.

OfficialPartner is another one. I had them and softwaresales posting spam in one of my communities.

I always heard that pearls/jade and n'joy were slower growing varieties of the original marble queen. I found that mine started to really take off after I pruned it back and stuck a couple of fertilizer sticks in the pot. I've also got a marble and I gotta say, it's been keeping up with it growth-wise lately haha

Nice one!

The artist appears to be Winslow Homer.

In my opinion, that's way better dude.

100% agree. I really enjoy the app and Kuro has done amazing work, but this logo misses the mark tbh. I'm definitely no graphics designer (just someone who knows enough to make shitty memes), but the alignment is all over the place with this logo.

Lemmy.ca has been defederated from Lemmygrad ever since I've been a member (June), so that's not anything new. Looks like it goes back to at least September of last year.

Weird. I'm not getting hit by one. Maybe my ad-block is catching it.

Try this one (same story, different site):

There's actually several nottheonion communities on Lemmy! I'm on mobile so I can't easily link them, but you should be able the find them on https://lemmyverse.net/communities

They’re talking kind of three months in the summer and two to three weeks in the winter for skiing.

To drop 32 million on a house (which is mind bogglingly in and of itself) and only spend three months in it? Motherfuckers out there with way too much goddamn money. That's ridiculous.

Looking at the pot, that's legitimately the first idea I had if OP wants to go the malicious compliance route. I'd be tempted to build a table around the plant pot. Something like this (but for outdoors):

Wait, hold the fuck up. David Tennant is returning as another Doctor!? I haven't watched much since the Matt Smith era, but how the hell does that work with the DW lore?

That's a really cool idea! I wonder if they could've made it a bit more ergonomic though? Dude at 1:40 is having a tough time with his leg stretched that far. Maybe if the track was closer to the road or if the lift's foot rest was wider?

Commuter Thunderdome - Two commuters enter, one commuter leaves (the car defeats the squishy human every time).

I could be wrong about this (it's the internet, I'm sure someone will correct me), but I think public perception of bike lanes in this city got kind of fucked because one of the previous city councils spent a ton of money without really explaining it properly and they were seemingly installing them on streets where they weren't connected/doing much (this has got a lot better now).

So now the whole thing is just one of those "let's blame this" kind of topics. Kind of like "we'd have better blahblah if they didn't waste all the money on bike lanes". Nimbyism is also really strong in this city.

Hey, that's my city! I'm sad to say that I'm not overly surprised. I don't know if it's an everywhere thing, but there's a vocal minority in Victoria that have a real stick up their ass about bike lanes.

Thanks for the work you guys do!

Changelog for anyone who's interested.

That's how you get wireless internet. You have to charge the internet before taking it with you.

You figured me out! I actually work for big candy and this Lemmy community is a long con to get everyone to eat more Skittles.

Man, actually hearing that someone is enjoying this place makes me feel bad for trying to give it away 😂

I guess if no one ends up wanting it, I could try my best to keep it going. As long as y'all don't mind infrequent posts. I'm trying to balance "Lemmy feeling like a job" with "actually enjoying Lemmy". Maybe it's my own fault for creating a bunch of communities (it's definitely my own fault lol).
