Solarpunk and How We Escape Dystopia [Podcast]

Completely tangential, but Invidious is a great, self-hosted alternative front-end to YouTube. So for example, instead of the YouTube link:

Just copy the "watch?v=..." to an Invidious instance. Two of my favourite public instances as examples:

This lets you watch/share YouTube videos with zero ads, zero tracking and fast speeds :) The only drawback is you can't comment/like, but it's a fairly small one IMHO. Have a good one!

Mature nettles?

Older leaves i.e. leaves after the nettle goes to seed, start accumulating calcium oxalate, which is bad for your kidneys especially if you have preexisting conditions. But you can instead harvest the seeds as they are a protein and omega 3 powerhouse, among other things!

As a Reddit refugee with some questions!

Reply in thread

I just want to say a HUGE thanks for volunteering your resources. I've got an account on another instance that's on a "high quality" VPS, and it's gone down a few times, whereas I haven't experienced any downtime over here :) (nothing with the other instance either, it's an amazing, well-run instance too and I've created a lot of my favourite communities on it).

So thank you!

Some Lemmy Technical Questions

Reply in thread

I'm wondering if Lemmy (and maybe the fediverse generally) has the potential to offer incoming Reddit mods something Reddit can't: compensation.

Obviously it won't be huge, but I feel like there's a greater chance that a Lemmy user will make at least small one-off or even regular donations to help keep their communities and/or instances running.

Like if I'm running a server, voluntarily paying $50/month as, say, the mod of a 20M+ user subreddit might, even if 20 users contribute $2.5, that's a full month's worth of server time paid for.

As I say, the scale would be quite low, but wonder if it could be an interesting idea to try out, even if just as a proof-of-concept.
