FoD

I use Android, so Fedilab was the app I'm using.

I didn't want my feed to be an endless stream of news or other languages. So first I joined a smaller server, with a topic I care about.

Then I followed a few journalists, and followed tags I care about like cycling, my hometown, tech news relevant to me, and TV shows.

Lastly after I had that base of content... I went looking for people. When someone posts something I like, I check their other posts... do I like those too? If he's then I look at who they follow. Big accounts usually don't follow a lot of others. This is endless but really gave me a consistent group of people who I care what they think and say.

Not easy but worth the time over the course of a week or two.

Also I watched the #followfriday tag where people lost accounts they follow and why.

Also, look at the top accounts lists that exist. Threads accounts have millions of followers so it's a good bet it'll be good.

I agree and started putting effort into Mastodon. It took a week or two of filtering and browsing to find users and content but I've definitely found a more engaging base of content to interact with that is nice.

I was an engaged redditor who switched 100% to Lemmy and I do not feel quite satisfied with the comments and content.

I'll stick around, but I find myself on Mastodon and using Ground News more often.

Btw I have comments in my history of how frustrated I was about finding content on Mastodon, but suddenly it clicked after I spent a bunch of time on it. Not a raving endorsement but ultimately I do enjoy it.

Another side note, I was looking for some top users to follow and some have 10k followers, cool. Then I find some federated threads accounts with millions and realize how small we are in comparison. I know why, and I understand it, but it's truth that small user bases have less ideas.

Have you seen the housing market? Sometimes you have to deal with a roommates bad habits, even if he is a spirit.

At least he doesn't leave dishes in the sink.

I hear a loud bang as if from another room. Like a trash can falling over, or a someone dropping a bag with about 10lbs on a hardwood floor, or a pushing a wooden chair into a dining table too hard. It's enough to think "what just fell?!".

It does not sound like a door closing, or stomping, or something fragile moving or falling.

I startle awake, realize I'm the only one awake, and that there aren't anymore sounds so it must have been my brain and I pass out fully.

It's pretty strange and I think it's funny how I never really thought about it until now.

Based on the comments in the thread, they asked it to repeat before actually having it say anything so it repeated the directives.

There's a whole bunch of comments relocating it with chat logs.

I understand your point and this poster didn't excite me either, but Fury road had two famous people in it as well and I consider it iconic.

It may be just a copy cat movie.... Or it may pull a performance from them both that surprises us.

I honestly just don't know what to expect from either actor.

I have dogs and for the last ten years or so, owned indoor sneakers. I do not like slippers or sandals so I buy some running shoes or something, cheap ones, on sale. They last forever because it's indoor only. I replace them when they get smelly.

I do not wear shoes that have been outside, in my place.

Works for me!

I'm a fan of Dune and this always made me laugh.

I don't know that they deserve favorite because of what they are, they don't even have much of a smell! But there is just something about them I love, and maybe it's memories or how "wild" they look as they grow in bunches. It reminds me of wildflowers in a field.

Black-eyed Susan. They grow in big bunches and expand outward each year in a ring where the seeds fall. Just a simple flower that stands out in late summer in my area and lasts through fall. It's low maintenance too.

I've had good luck. Reliable and fast as any other service.

I'm a 3rd year subscriber of the Unlimited plan, $158 for 2 years at a time. I utilize the drive, aliases, mail and VPN.

No real complaints. I still use Google calendar because it integrated more with Android phone. I still consider going back to Gmail occasionally for simplicity. I really hate Gmail though but email is garbage. Does it really matter?

I basically priced out good vpn's, and the two year price of proton was pretty similar to most other quality VPN plans. So why not stick with it and get the rest of the ecosystem too.

I don't think about it too much, it's email and it works.

I do not care about secure email because I don't communicate with anyone else using it, but I do like how it automatically blocks trackers and cleans email links for me.
