What to choose between Lemmy, Mbin and PieFed, features-wise?
What to choose between Lemmy, Mbin and PieFed, features-wise?
Since users and communities are equally accessible, I just need to know what are the pros and cons of them, I really can’t figure it out without a extensive time of use
@[email protected]
@[email protected] when I post on a Lemmy community I always follow it first, so I should receive everything that is boosted in theory. For comparison, I do the same with Guppe groups and it works as you described (as long as the group is tagged)
Sharkey doesn’t fetche replies to Lemmy comments
Sharkey doesn’t fetche replies to Lemmy comments
I interact with Lemmy using my account on a Sharkey instance. It all works well except you only see direct comments to you post, while replies to them are not visible except you look at your post on a Lemmy instance
I’m not sure if federation with Lemmy has this issue with other software, however I may have seen a Lemmy post made by a Mastodon account, and replies were visible when seeing the post from the original Mastodon instance.
So this may be something related to -key softwares

ERRATA CORRIGE
Turns out I’m a little dumb and I read the K6 precautions incorrectly
RDT is not actually discouraged. They actually advice against spraying water directly on the metal parts of the grinder
Avoid spraying water directly onto any part of the grinder. You can perform RDT by spraying water on another object.
So there’s that. It is not so sensible to corrosion as I was firstly worried about. Yay
What hardware do you use for Nextcloud?
What hardware do you use for Nextcloud?
I’m willing to finally get my own cloud using #Nextcloud but I have zero clue about which hardware I should choose for home storage. It would be used for domestic stuff, such as photos, music, movies and files, for the whole family, not necessarily for work
@[email protected] never tried RDR, but I heard multiple times about that. I don’t think I’ll try it since the manufacturer explicitly advises against that technique, however I think I’d still prefer to clean it at least once a couple of days, so the hustle of assembly would remain. Fortunately seems like I’m getting used to it, they could have done better tho
@[email protected] to be honest, it seems like there’s not general consensus about which material works better, so my guess is that they may give different results but they’re both good depending on what you like.
I’d also add that the grinder itself might be more important as the overall build quality and stability might have a role in the quality of grinding, as someone suggested that Porlex performs worse not because of the burr itself but because it is not secured well enough so it has some play side to side.
But yeah, as I said I was still happy with that, even if it was generally less comfortable to use
Moving from Porlex II to Kingrinder K6
Moving from Porlex II to Kingrinder K6
So, I was perfectly happy with my Porlex mini II, as a I love specialty coffee but I definitely don’t understand yet the small nuances in coffee brewing.
But a couple of days ago my sister accidentally broke the ceramic burr. I was going to just buy the burr but I instead made a little research, suspecting I could get a better grinder. Eventually I landed on the Kingrinder K6 and I was able to receive it the very following day.
So, I’m using for just a couple of days, but the difference is immense.
The object itself is much bigger and HEAVIER, I couldn’t believe how much more robust it felt. Also is far more complex and sophisticated in its assembly, and the structure is more stable.
It’s very handy, firstly because it can easily grind much more coffee, much more quickly and easily. It also features the external grinding size adjustment with precise clicks easy to check thanks to the marks on the outside.
But the main difference
@[email protected] @[email protected] Until now I’ve always been using Porlex mini II, but sadly I broke the burr. I was pretty happy about it but I learned it is generally considered as an inconsistent grinder, so I looked for an upgrade in my setup and K6 seemed a good choice.
To be honest I did notice a certain range of dimension in the Porlex ground, but the resulting coffee always seemed good enough for me. I’m curious about the difference with the K6
About a.gup.pe, I’m using Sharkey to post, so I don’t really know if lemmy supports the following of users. I guess it’s not possible, since Guppe groups are technically bot accounts, Lemmy shouldn’t be able to see them as communities

@[email protected] that’s right, I’m just focusing on accounts boosting because it’s a very good way to discover people you wouldn’t see otherwise, as they may boost from networks outside your reach. And since communities speaking different languages can be more separated, that’s a good way to ho imho

Salt domes
Salt domes
I don’t know if this is common knowledge.
Basically, underground in the deep of the Earth crust there is often a layer of salt rock, formed when salted water basins evaporated multiple times and get buried by sediments, slowly sinking into the crust due to tectonic activity.
Well, since salt rock has a much lower density than the surrounding rocks, it behaves exactly as a liquid. All around the globe, from the salt layer, immense bubbles and columns of salt called diapirs slowly move upwards, much like magma does, passing through layers of rock and bending them.
Where the bended layers touch the salt diapir some cavities form, making place to petroleum and natural gas to concentrate. On the surface, the bending of the rock layers is detectable through formations like hills but also depressions, created by the subsiding of the hill or by corrosion action by elements.
Where salt domes are found, humans open salt mines and build drilling plants to extract the unde
@[email protected] as far as I know, that number shows the number of shares. It is not an indication that you are seeing that post because it was boosted tho.
The thing is, if I follow a user and that user boosts a post from someone I’m not following, that post is supposed to show up in my TL, in the same way as any other Fediverse platform. However that doesn’t happen. I tested it: on Pixelfed home TL you only see posts from users you follow, you don’t see boosts of posts made by users you’re not following. And since the purpose of boosting is to let you know new people, that’s a really big bummer
Currently, can you see #boosts on your #Pixelfed timeline?
Currently, can you see #boosts on your #Pixelfed timeline?
On Pixelfed.social and other instances it seems like boosts are hidden. So you can share posts in Pixelfed and users using softwares like Mastodon or Misskey will see your boost, but from Pixelfed you won’t see them both from Pixelfed users and Fediverse users, and regardless if you activated them in the settings or use a different client. There are no official news about it so I’m trying to understand if this has something to do with Pixelfed as a software, with specific instances or specific accounts
@[email protected] well this is a post from a Sharkey instance, I see your post because I follow this community (which appears to me as a user boosting lemmy posts)
Also I’ve already posted on lemmy directly from my instance, I just have to tag the community I want to post into, and I receive replies as well.
It’s not perfect but it’s extremely helpful and cool
@[email protected] well that’s impressive! Coincidentally I just ordered Hoffmann’s book so I guess it’s convenient pairing
@[email protected] cold brew stays fresh and good for days, I’d say a week at least, I guess you would probably need to worry about the safety factor before the flavour. However in the summer I usually make 1 liter and it get consumed in 4/5 days, but I think it can last more. Of course you need to keep the jar well sealed.
Note that after little time a thin white film starts forming on the surface. That’s totally normal and you shouldn’t worry about it, it is not mold (as it should need much more time to form) but some water and coffee minerals and residuals concentrating on top. It’s not aesthetically appealing but it’s totally safe.
Do you know roasteries that sell decaf coffee beans?
Do you know roasteries that sell decaf coffee beans?
I’d like to brew coffee more often, occasionally in the evening, but I can’t because of caffeine, also I know people who definitely feel much worse effect I would be glad to offer a good pour over to sometimes, so I’m looking for some websites which sell a decent selection of decaf beans, preferably treated with the Swiss water process. Also I live in Italy so due to recent events it would much more convenient to buy from European sources

Avrei voglia di abbonarmi alla rivista, inclusa quella cartacea, ma l’edizione USA ha un costo molto più alto di quella italiana, quindi mi viene il dubbio che la seconda sia più scarna di contenuti

@[email protected] If I stick to the Porlex the tall could be my next step. The Mini is handy until you need to brew two cups or a liter of cold brew 🙃
@[email protected] Actually I literally just did it after tasting a V60 coffee in a local cafe. I got a 150g bag of the same coffee (a really good Colombian) and I managed to obtain a cup almost as good as the one they served me, even if I'm using a stovetop kettle without termometer.
However my main doubt is about the setting of the grinder, mainly because I can calculate how many steps it needs to obtain a theorically correct size of the ground, however I mostly end up looking for instructions online and finding the right setting by trying
@[email protected] tbh we shouldn't expect the adoption curve of any Fediverse software to be somewhat similar to the ones of centralised social networks, since Fediverse completely misses the commercial aspect that encourage key users to stay in the platform easing communities to stick to it as well. My guess is that without the action of commercial dynamics, the situation wouldn't be so different from the jumps-and-losses moments we're used to
What is your expeience with the Porlex Mini II manual grinder?

It's the only grinder I've ever used, I find it quite handy and consistent in the grinding but I have actually no benchmark to judge it objectively. Is it actually good?
