Update to rules

I’m cautiously optimistic, but I agree. If it essentially turns into a general adult humor feed, I’ll likely either alter the rules here or find/create a space for kid-friendly/light-hearted jokes. That was the original intent for the space, since so many jokes are already focused on adult humor.

I toyed around with the idea of having tags, either using the NSFW tag for more “uncle joke” material or tagging “E” material using a text like you are saying, such Safe for Everyone [SFE]. I think for now, I’ll let the reader decide which ones they want to retell. If the posts start to include a lot of uncle jokes, I might consider some sort of tagging for posts.

Genuinely curious, do you all think should there be a rule against posting major social media links such as this?

My thought is that I assume most of us are here for a different online social experience and would ideally not contribute to the current social media companies’ practices.

The joke is on point, but I’m wondering if it can be hosted on PeerTube or something.

Several Lemmy iOS apps look to have left TestFlight!

I started with Mlem, then Memmy, tried Thunder, Limbo, the Voyager web app. The new Voyager app definitely seems the most polished. I will say though, a new discovery and my primary lately has been Avelon. It is buttery smooth and many options in the settings. One that was missing from Apollo was the “mark above as read” option for posts, which is present on this app.

Definitely give it a try: https://testflight.apple.com/join/IzB0ZiBO

What a good Lenny community to talk about teaching kids at home?

I haven’t yet begun homeschooling, but I did join some fb groups in my area. I like to gather what resources (eg curricula) or ideas they have and think about what I’d prefer. Some group members don’t align exactly with what I want or have questionable information, so always do your own research too.

But I have found that talking about homeschooling with friends and coworkers opened up many conversations about it, and I didn’t even realize they homeschooled. So it seems less intimidating to have some successful methods or curricula implemented, instead of the overwhelming amount of info on the web.

Like I said, I havent started yet, but I’m happy to share what I found for ideas.

new mod, please help [half way solved]

I have only used the mod tools through mobile browsers. I found out that you need to click a post or comment first, then click the three dot menu for the mod options (pin, ban, make user a mod, etc), you cannot access this from the feed preview of the post (that three dot menu does not have mod options).

I’m not sure about why you cannot see your own posts. I usually check them by clicking my profile to make sure they are listed, and then go to the community that I posted to see if it’s actually visible.
