I think I have like 5 Lemmy apps installed, including the voyager web app, but I keep coming back to Memmy.

This is the way to do it. Getting your photos printed by somebody else will be tons cheaper AND give you better results.

Eh, I am all about wired networking wherever I can, but my awesome old Brother laser printer gets used like once per month or two, and it lives off in a far corner of the house where it isn’t taking up valuable space. Plus it could work with a tiny fraction of the LAN bandwidth available to it.

On wi-fi it stays, lol. I think I may have had to reconnect it once in the decade+ we’ve had it. Otherwise, the printout is ready before I can even walk to the printer (unless it has a ton of pages, naturally).

I don’t even know how old it is at this point. I just know it’s over a decade because I didn’t buy a third party toner cartridge until 2014.

But it’s about girl toys, and girl stuff is so gaaaay!

You aren’t kidding. I got four tiny spearmint plants this spring. They are growing kind of hydroponically because I have a pond.

In less than three months, those plants have exploded into huge nice-smelling bushes that are more than two feet in each dimension. They are planted in a line so there’s this walk of mint that’s almost 12 feet long.

But that’s not enough. The plants send out branches along the ground like freaking tentacles. They will spill out of a planter box, for instance.

The fast growth is why I chose this plant, but damn!

That sounds great! I will be following the app’s progress for sure.

By the way, the other thing that stood out was not being able to tap on an image and view just that image full screen. Being able to do that leads to things like zooming in on the image, or long pressing to copy/share it.

You also included features I didn’t even know I wanted, like the privacy option to hide your username. You’re doing good work, my friend. o7

Trying Mlem for the first time, the only thing that bothers me is that it shows total post scores and not individual numbers for up/down votes. I like seeing when something is controversial vs ignored.

Once I tried Memmy, I stopped paying attention to new apps.

I might have to try one or two mentioned here, though.

I heard that on talk radio once too. 20 years ago!

We are using the better version right now to discuss ways to [not] shoehorn the worse version back into our lives, lol.

I respect the project a great deal, but I just don’t see myself putting any effort into making Reddit accessible for myself.

Even if there were zero reasons to avoid Reddit on principle, Lemmy is just a better “product” for what I want out of it.

If I’m googling something at work and need to view a page there, fine. I’ll just use a cached page or visit directly with ad blocking as if it were any other webpage. That might benefit the company in some small way, but that doesn’t make it worth prepping my devices to better make use of Reddit.
