Fediverse@lemmy.world•How do I get a circle on mastodon (or any other non-thread social media)English
1·15 天前Exactly this, and the other benefit of hashtags (at least on some apps for Mastodon) is that you can mute them. So, if you’re following someone whose posts you enjoy, except their posts about #rugby, you can mute those posts and not see any of them. I find it a really great way to keep my feed as only those things I’d prefer to see.

9·15 天前I agree it’s definitely worth following hashtags liberally for things you’re interested in. Your feed should really open up with that.
But it’s also worth doing a longish #introduction post, adding hashtags of things you like and pinning that to your profile. You might already have done that but you can always do a fresh one. People will also boost introduction posts so that might get your profile out there more.
I have an introduction pinned on my profile if it helps: https://beige.party/@brian

Old School Revival@lemmy.world•Labyrinth Lord: Revised & Expanded For Old-School Revival (OSR) From Goblinoid GamesEnglish
2·28 天前I’ve been looking forward to the new edition. Very glad to see it’s finally out there. I hope there’ll be a print version soon.
I’m still not seeing the downside here, because…well…cats.
I want to live in a country where “cats jumping out” is what they’re warning people about!

privacy@lemmy.ca•Buying Another Domain for Email Forwarding ServiceEnglish
1·1 个月前I have a domain2 for all mailing list and non-critical services, which I’d be able to take elsewhere if I ever change provider (I’m with Tuta so I’m hoping not to have to do that anytime soon).
I own domain1 for all friends, family and critical services (like banking etc). So far, it works well.

Books@lemmy.ml•Here are the 25 best pieces of Horror Fiction of the 21st century so far...English
3·2 个月前I did quite enjoy the original novel of The Ritual but I’m surprised to see it take the number 1 spot. I’m also a fan of House of Leaves.
Of the 25 books here, my top three would John Langan’s The Fisherman (he is a superb writer); the Ligotti collection; and the Laird Barron collection.

4·2 个月前I’m ashamed to say I’ve read fewer than half of these, but at least this means I have quite a lot of (unknown to me) books to seek out!

15·2 个月前Oh, she’s gorgeous. Wonderful that you found each other - she looks quite settled already!
It is. I am always so envious of our cats’ ability to sleep no matter what time of day it is or how much light/noise there is.
Alaric is so sweet!
She’s such a beautiful little one. Thank you for rescuing her and giving her a loving home.






So sorry to hear this. What a sweet little boy 😢
I don’t think I could do what you do when this is one of the possible outcomes of fostering. But thank you for doing what you do!
