Also non-cartel coyotes rest during the day. I lived in Nevada where coyotes are a given, but never in my life saw one during the day.

That is…better. Hmm. We may have a winner, but I’m wondering how I might find a community that was never on Reddit.

Anyway, thank you so much. It’s not perfect, but it is substantially better.

Thanks for the suggestion, really. I’m happy for anyone trying to help.

Yes, I can look up a specific community if I know what it is and I can browse for communities also, but the current browsing method wrecks my brain because I’m neurodivergent.

I guess a good analogy would be suggesting to a low-vision person that they should face the screen. I can see it already, but it’s blurry and I’m asking for help to zoom in.

As long as you’re here, do you have a suggestion for a community? I’m definitely looking for interesting, niche spaces.

Like two different car horns.

One for, “Hey, I’m over here. Don’t hit me.” And one for, “HEY, I’M OVER HERE! DON’T HIT ME!”

What do you suggest for browsing? I think there are 20k+ communities. I know there’s something brilliant out there that I wouldn’t think to look for by itself.

If you don’t have a browsing suggestion, I’ll take a community suggestion. Maybe something niche?

Thanks. Good idea.

I did. It was buried in the post. Thanks anyway for trying. Anything helps.

You too, random citizen!

My philosophy on downvotes:

If I don’t agree with someone here, I upvote anyway. Not because I’m a Pollyanna, but because I’m happy they’re here and supporting Lemmy by posting and commenting. I really want Lemmy to stay up and stable for a long time and provide what Reddit used to provide for the wider community. Reddit still does, but hopefully we can too. I’m talking about political and health issues.

If it’s a mean comment, I do nothing and move on.

If something is just messed up, that’s a message for the mods. I’ve messaged once so far. Someone posted information about a person (image and real-life contact info) and said they were performing cosmetic surgery on puppies. The image was of the person flipping the bird, so it was clearly made as a hit piece. Mods got rid of it within a day.

I’m doing my part. I had two posts on Reddit. One was superniche and got 30ish points. Whatever, I was happy. It had useful info for the other people on the sub. Then I posted something to the broader community and got two downvotes in like 1 second, killing it. How did they even look at it? I think someone was sitting there gleefully downvoting every fucking thing. I never posted again.

I’ve been here since mid June and have made 264 posts, like WTF. I’m having more fun here than I ever did on Reddit and I don’t get that sick feeling I used to get from seeing all the outrage posts and mean comments (to everyone, not just me).

Loving Lemmy.

I watched Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. It wasn’t amazing, but it was pretty funny.
