loopy

Such a valid point; success should not be measured only in dollars. I began explaining the basics of the Fediverse with some of my friends and the first question they asked was, “How do people even make money on there then?” It’s a bit disheartening to see how money-driven things are for some people.

It’s strange, I downloaded a gif to my photo and selected it as an image for a Memmy post. The post worked and was upvoted so others must see it. But the actual gif is not visible on Memmy. The gif does play on a mobile browser though.

I want to try posting a direct link to a gif and see what it looks like. Can you see the gif below?

It looks like you need to use the format:

![label](directlink.gif) such as: ![Nope](https://i.imgur.com/lov37J1.gif)

So far it seems that the admins will make posts when they’re considering new ones. I think the need for committed moderators may be the challenge for adding new ones. You could always find a community on a different Lemmy instance or create a community on an instance that has that enabled.

I agree, I would rather see the community on the left with the instance in smaller/non-bold text below it, and user to the right without the instance of the user until you click the post.

I had an ex-gf that would sit down for showers when possible, and sometimes fall asleep lol

Thank you. It’s not a common acronym; I just didn’t see a way I wanted to shorten it haha.

Outside of this post with the link, people that search “addiction” would probably see the community. I posted essentially this same post in other instances’ chat communities, and made sure this new community was discoverable by lemmy.world, beehaw.org, vlemmy.net, lemmy.one, and kbin.social. I also asked that the mental health community lists this as a “related community.”

I think you’d have more responses if you posted to !asknsfwlemmy@nsfwlemmy.com

I found beehaw first, so I started there but then discovered that the admins manage the community creation there. So I made a new account on lemmy.world to mod that, and most browsed with my beehaw account. But then beehaw needed to de-federate from lemmy.world, so I made a vLemmy and lemmy.one accounts so I could interact with both beehaw and lemmy.world.

tl;dr As someone else mentioned, finding a smaller, low-profile instance to have your home account but interacting with other instances seems to be the best approach

I personally love !dadjokes@lemmy.world

I may be a little biased because I mod it ;)

I think the date is because July 1st is the beginning of a new fiscal year for many companies. I’m not sure why they may have changed terms of service, but my guess is that the companies are required to publish updates at the beginning of the fiscal year.

So I worked at a plasma donation center and in a hospital. I will tell you that the training at the donation place I was at was very brief and you are somewhat practice for many new phlebotomists. I will also say I cared for at least two patients that were hospitalized after people missed their sticks at the donation centers and the patients had infections, pain, and huge vascular issues after that.

That being said many people do it and it turns out just fine. It’s easy money if you can tolerate it. But I would not recommend it, as it can eventually cause scarring to your veins and it may be difficult to start an IV when you are older and actually really need that access site.
