6·1 year agoTwo websites that I use quite a lot to find cool personal blogs/RSS feeds:
- Ye olde blogroll is a hand-curated list of interesting personal blogs in English
- The IndieWeb webring is a webring where people with indie blogs (ie. no substacks, no big websites, etc.) can sign up to get more visibility, it’s a real treasure trove

mina le’s videos are always so good!
1·1 year agoMusic: I have a few CDs that are in need of a CD player and also have Jellyfin (no server, only local) to listen to my downloaded music on my TV (which mostly comes from Bandcamp). For my phone, I have the Bandcamp app, it’s basic but it does what I need from it.
Podcasts: via Podcast Addict on my phone (unfortunately no browser version, but that’s gotten less important with the years as I spend less time on my computer and the time I do spend requires enough focus that I don’t listen to podcasts), during sports sessions (podcast for warmup & cooldown, audiobook for the session itself), commutes, walking, cleaning & cooking.
You should post here: !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml
This is not a technical support community.
(but also i’ve had the same issue since the last lemmy update, i suppose a bug made its way in there.)
Sounds like an issue with Jerboa more than with Lemmy tbh if you can’t properly block a community. Log in to the website and block the community there.
My suggestion would be to back it up on the Internet archive manually once in a while.
I really liked this read! I blog, and I like my blog, but sometimes get stressed out because I feel like nobody’s reading it (I’ve removed all analytics on purpose because I used to get obsessed with them). Blogging for the simple act of blogging, and not for engagement, is the best!

0·1 year agoIt’s so hot outside, I’m almost only making salads. Yesterday was:
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 150g cherry tomatoes, halved
- 100g feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 peach, diced
- Balsamic vinegar
Most of my days are a variation around that until things get fresher (peach can be replaced with a yellow or red pepper depending on what my veggie dealer has in stock).
you’ve been an absolutely wonderful admin. please take all the time you need and come back when you’re ready, if you’re ready; don’t come back too soon and burn out again. take care!
1·1 year agoVery reminiscent of the 2005 riots that happened for 2-3 weeks after the death of two young boys who had been chased by the police without reason in eerily similar fashion on the same religious holiday: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005_French_riots
It’s easier to start with the small things, like moving to another email provider (I used mailo for a while, which is free and independent, that I really like), changing your search engine (DuckDuckGo is free and a great “gateway” in my opinion), and/or using alternative front-ends for Youtube videos (like Invidious). Once you get used to those, it’s easier to see the value of de-googlifying other stuff! I still use Google Calendar and have an Android phone, but I don’t use many other Google products anymore :)
Just signed up for a trial account and it looks really good. Search in French is surprisingly decent compared to DuckDuckGo.
I am incredibly lucky to live in a country that strongly protects workers, to have no children and to be able to afford an apartment 10mins away from my partner’s place rather than living together and depending on each other’s calendar. I remember how lucky I am every day.
I really hope the baby is doing well and that things will settle down in a year or two - obviously it’s still not going to be “unspoken for time”, but hopefully things will settle down a bit at least!
Congrats on the new job and on enjoying spin class!!
That sounds like an absolute nightmare, I’m really sorry. I hope everything will end up fine.
Some personal blogs that I like (mine included), all of them are indie and as far as I know they all are maintained by a single person (so they don’t post several times a day!):
