I like seeing them

Y'all talkin' about microplastics as if there are little micro plastic animals in the soap pumps like they do with micro beads.

These are just animals printed on the back (sticky side) of the label on the back. I would definitely appreciate this more than trying to read the goddamn warped fine print through the soap!

Oh hey, I actually looked into alternative keyboards on Android the other day. Stumbled on Unexpected Keyboard, where the "press and hold" alternative symbols are accessible by swiping in the direction of it from its key instead. I think because it's FOSS, they've also added a whole bunch of other keyboard support such as ctrl and some unicode keys.

I've found that I prefer to tap and hold to get the alternative keys, but I loved the additional keys it had that were within easy visibility. Though it did look quite clustered that the default Samsung keyboard that I'm used to.

Welcome to Pawb.Social!

Hey, thanks for setting this nice little server up.

Just wondering if it is just me or that most non-local communities seem to have no replies / votes, but when viewed from their home instance I can see them. Is this because viewing comments and votes across instances is not yet possible?

I say most non-local communities because the posts on the All page seem to work fine, but when I want to check a non-local niche community it looks dead - even though there is activity that's viewable from their instance.

Aphantasia... apparently 3% of the world has it. Any aphantasists in here, who've had success improving their condition?

I think I have this.

It's hard for me to communicate online to my coworkers who do not have a profile picture. And then when I do meet them in person, I don't recognise them straight away the next time I pass by them (or worse, in a social function).

The ways I remember people by are their mannerisms and everything else about them, except for their physical appearance. But because people change styles and environments change, it's hard to instantly recognise them on the third or more times I see them.

Same here too. I went to the website in the playstore and it seems their site hasn't been set up. Looks abandoned?

OP, if the app is still accurate, I'd be suprised Coles and Woolies (and other shops?) hasn't changed their API yet.
