Super interesting how climate change seems to be effecting different areas. While your July is cool and wet this year, a lot of the US and northern hemisphere in general has had record heat waves and wildfires in areas that are normally cool and wet. Go figure lol

Great pic!

How does it normally look? I’m from the Pacific Northwest in the states so the waterfalls here almost always look like this

Can anyone help explain how to find content worth following on Mastodon? I made an account today and despite going through the #explore category I’m finding it difficult to find content or people I want to follow. The few things I’ve found end up just being Lemmy communities which kind of defeats the purpose of having a mastadon account at all… maybe it’s because I never had a Twitter, but the Lemmy/reddit/forum layout makes much more sense to me

Not a techie. Paramedic / firefighter - I’m not the most tech literate, but I manage to get by lol

“It is no measure of good health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society”

I wonder if this particular problem might be fixed just with the way the instances force communities to be broken up, even as user base grows it will in theory happen across many different instances which means the local instances will continue to have a more local community feel

I followed a guide that lead me to lemmy.world, but honestly I don’t know how people are choosing which instance to join

I’m also still confused with the layout and how to navigate… Even figuring out how to view different instances or share posts from instances seems confusing so far. I’m gonna continue on with brute force though. Reddit killing RIF was too much for me. I’d been using that app for over 12 years, and honestly maybe a fresh start like Lemmy will be a good thing
