    After taking a couple of days break from this community as I felt I was posting too much; coming back and skim reading some of the comments / threads:

        I was checking way too often and had a broken sleep cycle which meant opening up the latest daily thread at like 4am rather than going back to sleep…

        Btw thank you again for the flowers info! I still can’t get over how excited they (florist) were on the phone

        Some days it’s all strawberries, other days are not so sweet. I put it down to the hot weather combined with the fear of upcoming Christmas shopping.

      I don’t get how some of youse only ever post in the dailies.

      You’re on the whole of Lemmy and you keep to one post. So weird.

        I keep to Local and Subscribed. I used to explore wider around Lemmy, but the feed is full of US politics, and wars in Gaza and Ukraine. I don’t find many kind people and reasoned discussions in those posts.

        I’d probably be up for wider content sometimes, but I also don’t want to get to a point where I’m spending 5 hours a day on Lemmy. I’d rather spend those hours reading a book. Presently, that book is Farnsy’s Autobiography and it’s really tickling my nostalgia.

          I blocked soooooo many politics/news communities and also blacklisted the words “trump” “musk” “Gaza” “America” “USA” [etc] on my third party mobile app. Don’t think you can do that on Lemmy web just yet, but 95% of my Lemmy browsing comes from mobile so it works out fine for me

        We’re a family group here. We don’t need to see the world, we only need to see each other

        Lol, I scroll Lemmy like I did with Reddit, I don’t comment much because I don’t think I have much to say. I do upvotes posts I see. But why come here and look down on us?

        I’m part of the Lemmy problem here as old.reddit has far more activity in niche communities that I enjoy so I stick over there, which then means the activity stays on old.reddit except other than with this beautiful community of local awesome people in this daily thread.

        1. I guess if you’re looking for an answer to that, it’s probably (like most things): because they want to.

        2. It’s not that weird. This place has a different vibe to Lemmy as a whole, and most of /top is just memes and stuff. Some people don’t care for memes. We have a good community here of regulars, so it’s not that weird.
