Hi! I'm having a bit of a struggle with VSCodium. I'm not sure what I did, but I can't access the liveserver in my browser, and the extensions won't load to download them. I keep getting "Error fetching extensions. Failed to fetch" So that's been frustrating. Are there any fixes? What's a good VSCodium alternative I could try?

Hello! I'm looking to weatherproof/winterize an indoor porch, but in a more eco-friendly way. I've scoured the internet, and can only find a few, if any, tips for doing so. Any tips are appreciated!

Hey comrades! I was browsing facebook alternatives and one in particular caught my eye. It's called Comrad and it's a socialist social network. I haven't tried it myself, but it sounds pretty interesting! Has anyone here given it a try?

Let me preface this by saying I'm not a fan at all of Bill Burr, but he recently went on Bill Maher's show, and said he was with the students. He's also said some inflammatory things in the past, so I'm not sure. Are we cool with Bill Burr, now?

Hi. I'm looking for an app that tells you which companies pollute. Something like No Thanks, which tells you brands that support Israel, but for companies that pollute the water or dump waste.

Does anybody know of an app like that?

Hi! I recently discovered a couple eco-friendly apps to try out. But, I'm also wondering if there are any eco-friendly social networks out there? I haven't had much luck in my search, maybe people here have heard something? Here are the apps I discovered:

Ecosia: Eco-friendly search engine. It's very well known. Everytime you search, you plant trees and in the app you can see how many trees you plant.

OceanHero: Similar concept to Ecosia. Eco-friendly search engine/browser on android. The search engine pays groups to clean up trash in the ocean.

Ailuna: Eco-friendly app that gives you tips to be more eco friendly and you can meet up with other people and join eco-friendly groups.

Earth Hero: Similar to Ailuna. You get points for every eco-friendly task you do. It gives you suggestions to be more eco-friendly and you get points when you complete a task

Last one is Earth5R: From what I gather, it's a eco-friendly social network, you can sign up for eco-friendly jobs and the like.

Give them a try and share them with family and friends.

I will be using metal straws and a thermos today when I get my coffee.

Hi. So when I'm watching a tv show or movie, and it hits me in the feels, I will think something like "Oh, this movie is wholesome, or this tv show is wholesome" Even if it has swearing in it, as long as the message is a good one. I've been on Lemmy now a couple days, and I rate lemmy super-duper wholesome. Maybe it was the question/thread I asked, but the responses I got were very nice. Lots of people love to cuddle dogs as self-care and by golly, that's just as wholesome as it gets.

Hello. Let's talk about self-care. Who practices self-care regularly? I've been making an absolute effort to practice self-care, and it's definitely improving my mood. I floss, meditate, do qigong, breathwork, etc. Yes, flossing is self-care, take care of yo teefs. What does everyone do for self-care? Bonus question: Where else can I post questions besides Ask Lemmy?

Hello! I've been searching for a reddit alternative, and yes, I've picked Lemmy and Raddle, but here's the thing. My morbid curiosity is perked up, and a part of me wants to join the "free speech" alternatives, like Saidit, Poal, etc. What's wrong with me that I want to join toxic places? I mean, yes I'll find a whole new perspective (albeit wrong), on political topics, but a part of me wants to be the antagonist, and post lefty memes, and music with a left-leaning message (bands from r/rabm) I know that's like kicking the hornet's nest, so you don't need to start in with "that's a bad idea" I know it is. My main point/question is, is it wrong to join a site with potential hate speech? Does it make someone a bad person?

Hi! Recently exiled reddit user, here. I'm curious what other alternatives to reddit there are, besides Lemmy, and Raddle, of course. Also, imho, Phuks is a good alternative, there's no hate-speech (that I'm aware of) and people are pretty respectful. Anyways, let's hear your suggestions! Thank you!

I decided to check out The Militant, a socialist news site, and it looks to be supporting Israel. I could be wrong and I hope I am, but wtf?

Hi. This question is for leftists mostly. If you watch a content creator that's on the left, but they have a questionable guest on, do you continue to watch that creator or do you find a different creator to watch? I sometimes watch The Convo Couch and Danny Haiphong, but they've had very questionable guests on and I can't bring myself to support guests like that. Bonus question: Do you watch non-left channels?
