I’m probably the last person that should be answering this, just getting into espresso myself, but you can buy a mesh filter that goes between the espresso and the machine. They’re pretty inexpensive and can help protect the screen from making contact with your puck. I believe they’re also supposed to help with water distribution?

Make sure there aren’t any clocks/screens in the video that expose you lol

I would if I wasn’t on iOS 17 😭

what a great way to keep people on reddit lol

I’m so sorry, sending love your way. People can change, and it may take you moving on from them and finding more loving and supportive community for that time happen, but it’s not something you can/should be expected to force. You deserve supportive people in your life! They’re out there and ready to accept you with open arms ❤️

I want to be optimistic about this, but given the (lack of) regulation and privacy protections that we have as US citizens, LOL 🤡

It’s the same reason my complex can force me to pay $100 for Xfinity while my neighbor pays $30 for the exact same service (because they’re in a house).

Yeah posting is like walking on eggshells. Too many rules that aren’t always obvious/easy to find. Or that time I got auto banned from r/news for responding to someone on r/conservative with my liberal perspective…

So far so good! It’s been cool to see activity slowly pick up over the last few days

I’m on iOS beta testing the Mlem app and that’s already improved a lot over the last few days, too.

I’m really optimistic about Lemmy, it feels like cool things are happening here!

I’m hoping we band together enough on here so that we don’t ever have to think about Reddit again

Agreed! It’s a little rough right now, but it honestly feels like Reddit did years ago. I hope we get enough action over here to pull people away for good
