Is there a lemmy suggestions box? I like to be able to hide users without blocking them and I'd like to be able to disable comment replys. God dam making some comments out of the instance and I get a bunch of updates from aggressive nerds that I really don't care for. I tended to disable comments on reddit as soon as I'd commented due to notification avoidance.

Dumb question, but why not just block them?
Hiding feels more like I'm not interested in their content, blocking is for people I don't like. Sometimes when dealing with my own struggles I can do without hearing about someone else's. Even just being able to have their posts auto collapsed.
This is the closest feature request I have found, you could probably filter on username if/when that feature is implemented.
If that isn't quite what you are after, that GitHub is the place to make your request.
I usually block them then when I'm feeling better I unblock them.
My mum and I were going to get something from the local chicken shop for dinner, but then I saw I had a $20 off Uber Eats for first time use. So we got a whole charcoal chicken for $5. A steal.
And it arrived warm and unmolested?
What I forgot to mention was that I picked it up from the chicken shop. Don't know if I'd trust getting an entire chicken delivered by a stranger.
There are better fleshlights on the market
Not for $5 there isn't.
He looks just like you. π»

Is it gonna be permanent or just a foster?
Also boy or girl? A name?
Itβs Phoebe. A robot baby learning device from school and goes back Friday. If she survives haha. MissGod is doing doing the right thing so thatβs nice.
Oh wow, I thought they only did that on TV or in the US. Never heard of it here.
Itβs true. They do it here. Iβm not sure how prevalent it is.
Does Phoebe have an off button so the household is not kept awake tonight?π€
Nope.
I'm pretty beat. So many stairs .
Another early night I think.
Sorry I haven't been here as much as I would like. Love you all. Special hugs to Spud's partner, to Tinyest for talking and to Melbs for being a great cat mum and community gardener. πππ

Seconded. Rest up seagoon. The water awaits
sky pretty
One of the pumpkins has aphids really severely and itβs starting to spread to the othersβ¦
Iβve sprayed soapy water and physically wiped as many as I could off but am a bit worried. Especially as ants are farming them.
Fast, reliable and relatively cheap ethical solution that I've used many many times before: bugs for bugs.
It is funny when you see some of your money literally flying away though, but in the grand scheme of things it's good for the environment.
Thatβs a good idea. Iβve scrubbed off as much of the heavy infestation as I can but maybe thereβs enough to get them to stick around for a bit
If there is food (e.g. aphids) they will stick around and set up a colony, get them a box or a bag. When they're done they will eat each other... You could also look into lacewings.
This season I've been fortunate enough for predators to establish themselves and not had to buy anything.
You'll defo solve the problem if you buy those. Just one ladybird would demolish what I'm picturing of the problem you have.
For context we have somewhere between 120-160 plants, and about 70% of those are fruit and so prone to aphids and therefore ants marshalling them.
Bottom Racer (not tagging on purpose) and I have been talking about growing chillies for years.
Harvested a tiny amount the other day for dinner (hopefully proving that I'm not talking out of my arse here and that this is genuine advice and that the site is reputable and will solve your problem)
Oh damn, there was a praying mantis but it seems to be gone.
There was a ladybird sitting on the zucchini plant a week or two ago but I didnβt want to move it to the pumpkin plants I had just sprayed (even though organic) and it also hasnβt stuck around.
I bought some dill to help attract ladybirds back and be a sacrificial plant
Does anyone use something other than Spotify? Looking for a new steaming app.
mp3/flac + vlc + ghost commander with a light sprinkling of arrrr me hearties.
When I fly the flag, I can't seem to find any good flac trackers.
I'm not too picky, but checkout the piracy sub-lemmy faq for a bunch of sources.
Much appreciated :)
I've heard Pandora is good, but I haven't tried it myself.
I like Radio Garden as well - sometimes I tune into radio stations in Germany, to get my language fix/make sure I can still understand lol. Can tune into radio stations from across the globe
I'll give them a go.
Spotify is cool with AI music on their platform so they can get utterly fucked.
Yes sir! Qobuz. Its all CD quality or better, and it more like a magazine with articles, rather than a brute-force algorithmic sleuce.
Thanks for the suggestion!
