Your metaphor of multiple instances = multiple “Reddits” is exactly how I think of it as a layperson!

A few other people use the email metaphor, but I found it not as digestible since email is not a forum.

So frustrating to see city councillors originally voting down the housing affordability recommendations because they included zoning for more duplexes, townhouses, etc. Good heavens - it is not like someone is putting up a pig farm in your backyard.

All in all, very cool to see Calgary getting attention on the international stage.

I loved those books as a kid. I’ll need to go out and find a set to read with my own kid someday.

Matilda is still a joy to read as an adult!

Same here. I put a lot of effort into carefully curating my subscribed list on Apollo - it definitely made the experience much more enjoyable.

The pessimistic Internet user in me knows we are in the honeymoon stage of a wonderful user base.

I agree, the hardest part for me was getting started.

“I like news - I’ll just register on the news Lemmy!” Ah. Sweet summer child.

Luckily I stumbled across my current instance and the creator seemed friendly and like a decent human being. But I doubt many casual Redditors will have the same patience to figure it out.

Oh shoot. I’m glad you posted this as I just made a post and completely misinterpreted the message - I selected “English.” Hopefully that won’t filter it from too many users!

I haven’t been able to get out for a hike this weekend, but I’ve started gardening for the first time ever. I’m growing carrots and lettuce in a hand-me-down VegePod! Can you find the sprouts that appeared yesterday?
