I’m very interested in this proverb! How do you use it? Is it sorta the same as “don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched”?
That cat is straight up high off the thrill of that box! Mine only get stars in their eyes like that when they’re lusting after my cereal milk.
The subtle touches on this edit make it totally 👌 I honestly couldn’t tell you if it’s the matching garlic bulb on the safety seal and label, or the matching background bottles, or the gorgeous texture of the pesto rendered at just the right depth under the bottle, but, mmm 🤌 delicious, thank you
PushShift was a sorta reddit archive that could be used to see deleted comments and threads - if anyone ever sent you to a ceddit, rareddit, unddit, reveddit, etc link to view a deleted post or comment thread, that information was gathered via PushShift.
The dusting alone would be a full-time job.
I think it kinda looks like she’s describing a truly terrible hitchhiking experience, and the other lady just absolutely CANNOT.

I saw the lock post and also found it surprising, but I think I have a (perhaps naively?) more charitable view of the situation.
I’ve thought about starting a small engine discussion community; my husband and I have a local repair business, but we also make how-to videos and offer troubleshooting help on our website, and I know he would love having another group of enthusiasts and users to interact with! I also know I’m pretty tapped for time as it is and barely understand lemmy - I still have not figured out how to go reply to a response to one of my comments without going to the post and finding it, just can’t seem to make it work from the inbox - and I am so totally not up for the task of running a community. A month or two ago, I had a lot more free time, and I might have jumped on in and then gotten way over my head as Lemmy picked up steam during the Reddit Exodus, and I probably would have been deeply relieved to be contacted by another community with more experienced moderators looking to merge.
I have no idea what the experience level of the people running the local instance was, but I can totally see how the time commitment might have suddenly escalated past their expectations and made them feel like they needed help.
Is it possible to transfer control of a community? Perhaps, if you and others on this instance are very opposed to merging the communities, it would be possible for them to transfer control of the community to others who can commit the time and effort to running it. I don’t think the answer is making them to keep it here, though; they don’t seem to want to run it, and it seems anathema to the ethos of the Fediverse to force anyone’s labor for anything.
I use Textra on Android and I can select which parts of a message to copy. I’m using the paid version and have for years, so I’m not sure whether that’s a standard feature or premium. The day Messages stopped letting me color-code each conversation was the day I quit using it; I can’t tell you how many times each person being a distinct color has saved my ass from texting the wrong stuff to the wrong person.
