It seems that this happens when you subscribe to a community on a different instance from your own. You can still read, post and interact exactly as if you were fully subscribed, you’re just not counted in the number of subscribers. I’ve been told that you can force the system to subscribe you properly by repeatedly unsubbing and re-subbing, but I’ve had no luck with doing that so I just leave them alone now.

I think lemmings is the best one. Lemmings are cute.

yes, because no ads basically means my antivirus software has nothing to do. Creators have no choice over what ads are served up with the content and 99% of ads are loaded with malware whether you click on them or not.

Creators need to come up with better ways to monetise their content instead of relying on them.

Drinking journal is fun. Everytime I have a new entry I put a drop of what I’m drinking on the page. The thick cotton pages hold water well and drive fast. Theres a lot of complexities to the flavors when homebrewing so it’s helpful to document whatever I can.

That’s awesome. I don’t homebrew (yet???) but I do enjoy real ale, and Scotch, and my partner is getting me into gin too. The flavour profiles vary so much from one to another (I’ve learned that pale ales made with Citra hops are my absolute favourites; if I see Citra on a beer label I know for sure that I will like it. They remind me of grapefruit). When it comes to Scotch, I like the Speyside malts best, they’re rich, sweet and fruity. I had (a very expensive) one that tasted literally like Christmas pudding. Gin… I don’t really know enough about yet but I’m starting to find flavour profiles that I like and dislike. I like the spicier ones and dislike the more floral ones, I think. I have a gin in my pantry right now that’s infused with Earl Grey tea, and it’s divine.

And… now I need to find Lemmy subs about booze, lol.

Woo! Another comment I can see! (faints). Your system of loose pages inside a folder reminds me very much of the Everbook system. How do you handle pages you’re filing away? What do you store them in?

I wholeheartedly approve of this. Cheers!

That’s awesome, and it makes me so happy.

Just remember that you don’t have to journal every day for it to be a rewarding and pleasurable experience. And if you skip a day, or a few days, or a few weeks, or even longer, so what? It doesn;t matter and it doesn’t mean you’ve failed. Just pick it up again whenever you want or whenever you feel it might be helpful.
