Last this year. The short days and rain that will keep me from going. Down to freezing at night would be OK.

But who knows, maybe the autumn will give more opportunities, was like 20°C later in the day, T-shirt time, so nice.

I am not sure if I get this right, but I intend to go back there and I have been a bunch of times. Spot is an official bivouac spot, although there are no facilities there, just camping allowed. It is nice for me to start in the afternoon and have a safe spot to get out to.

Used to be camp fires allowed there but I guess it got out of hand, no more. This morning I also saw a bunch of tissues lying around, and a big bag of trash, even though you’re supposed to take it all with you. Bummer. I hope they won’t close these spots down completely, I don’t get people. I mean they must be some outdoor people too, what are they doing.

Haute fagnes area, Hertogenwald. Quite some people out today, no wonder, what a lovely day it is.

Hope the weather stays nice for a bit and you get out too!

Damn. Either I’m not getting some reference or you’re a fantastic poet.

I arrived at the spot in the dark, so the morning was giving me a new view.

That user still made this post right here, and also they made up the fact that Lemmy is gaining in popularity.

as they are more prone to censorship

More prone than who? ml?

Pretty sure i have seen you say this explicitly at some point, but i’ll just take these easy to find snippets from 6 days ago, where you talk about what you’re up to outside of hexbear, although tbf you were talking about slrpnk users here:

I’ve spoken with a few users, carefully pointing out how by being anti-Marxist but not also being anti-liberal, and further having no links to theory of any sort beyond aesthetic choices, opens them up to opportunism. They seemed to vaguely accept it, hope it can get through to them.

I am trying to convince individual users when the opportunity arises.

You’re doing great! Also with your “reasonable nice guy” facade!

The hexbear cowbee. But let me rephrase. Are you not engaging in world communities to act as a missionary among the non believers?

Are you not using this alt account to act as a missionary among the non believers?

Thank you, I guess I had a couple upvotes too but I was ratio’d pretty hard, for a small generally positive low traffic community I had like 20 down votes or something, people really did not like this. So I thought if it’s a real serious community about growing vegetables, it’s not for me, I don’t do that, I just do lighthearted wild flowers and bird stuff.

Awesome that you got these doves around and the owl! I have a kestrel cruising around my yard too. The pigeons make themselves all slim and starved looking when they hear it 😆 It’s tough out there for the birds, including the kestrel.

Not sure if I get it really, they are part of an actual route? I think this would be it then?

That I believe is to mark an actual route, independent on whether it’s going along cyclepaths or whatever.

So that should be a “no” really :)

For me it’s a no, but looking at my subscribed communities, i don’t have all that many ml communities in there tbh.

The ones that i like best and that don’t have a better alternative elsewhere are [email protected] and [email protected] and i guess the ones about lemmy itself and jerboa.

The way they seem to be banning people is worrying to me, the ml users i generally don’t have a problem with, but i’m avoiding politics.

That is just the reality on lemmy for people interested in niche topics. If i see a community where different users posts something once a month and there are even replies, that is more appealing to me than scrolling through three pages of content posted by the same person.

If a billionaire buys LW tomorrow

lol that is a new one.

concerning behaviour from LW mods

Would you look at that, a mod of a big community for heated discussion said or did something that people took offence to. Surely must be the instance’s fault, would not happen anywhere else.

[email protected] is more active than [email protected] in monthly active users.

You are doing a good job there, also with advertising the community, but I’ll say again that the world community looks more healthy to me, it’s a variety of different users posting there, while the ee one consists half of emperors and your effort to try and force this, actually it is only three topics that have been created by non moderators on the first page.

That is a software problem, I thought you guys were all computer experts.

If world wasn’t so big, it would have probably not even been noticed, now it is hopefully getting fixed with the next update, if I understood that right.

Federation works waaay better than when the big reddit influx happened, that was kinda disappointing and I’m glad Lemmy will be prepared better for the next wave.

Lemmy.world has a bunch of memes and political screeching because that’s the kind of user its admins choose to encourage.

How are the admins encouraging these users specifically? I have not noticed this, but I have been blocking most politics and meme communities for a while.

[email protected]

Yeah I see that differently. To me these forced posts for the sake of posting something, that are all being created by the same people are not necessarily that appealing to me, they don’t give me the impression that there is an actual community interested in the topic, you know? It’s kinda obvious that it’s really more “pretend active”.

While the plantid one, it seems like there is a community there, they just don’t post much, because there just aren’t that many people on Lemmy that have plantid questions. The community actually has a purpose and direction, it is active if activated and it gives good answers.

Yeah i guess i’m not all that picky, and granted those waxed chains look great. I read that you save hours per month in maintenance, but i don’t think i spend an hour a year fiddling with my chain, haha.

Right, forgot about that. Sadly I feel that this is a little bit too strict for Lemmy niche topics. To me that community is at least healthy looking, it has regular posts created by different users, and all get replies by different users. But it is quite low traffic, sure.
