That sounds like pretty great care! I’d recommend using a conditioner that’s made for coloured hair, otherwise I think you’re good to go! (And don’t shampoo it too often, twice a week should be enough for most people - bleach dries up the hair and so does shampoo, and dry hair means dandruff & greasy hair!)

The photo looks amazing! If you’re ready for the maintenance and the labour market lets you do it, then do it!

Some personal blogs that I like (mine included), all of them are indie and as far as I know they all are maintained by a single person (so they don’t post several times a day!):

• A Shroud of Thoughts
• Alex’s Blog
• Ben Werdmuller
• Elizabeth Tai
• Felix Crux
• GioCities
• James’ Coffee Blog
• Jeremy Cherfas
• Jo’s blog
• KE Garland
• Mark Sutherland
• Maya’s Blog
• OpenPLUTO
• Sara Jaksa
• The Maven Game
• Tracy Durnell
• Writing at Large

Two websites that I use quite a lot to find cool personal blogs/RSS feeds:

• Ye olde blogroll is a hand-curated list of interesting personal blogs in English
• The IndieWeb webring is a webring where people with indie blogs (ie. no substacks, no big websites, etc.) can sign up to get more visibility, it’s a real treasure trove

Signal >>>>>>>> WhatsApp > texting > Telegram >>>>>>> Messenger.

They have a much bigger catalogue outside of English, I believe

!diy@beehaw.org !diy@slrpnk.net !diy@lemmy.ml etc.

mina le’s videos are always so good!

Music: I have a few CDs that are in need of a CD player and also have Jellyfin (no server, only local) to listen to my downloaded music on my TV (which mostly comes from Bandcamp). For my phone, I have the Bandcamp app, it’s basic but it does what I need from it.

Podcasts: via Podcast Addict on my phone (unfortunately no browser version, but that’s gotten less important with the years as I spend less time on my computer and the time I do spend requires enough focus that I don’t listen to podcasts), during sports sessions (podcast for warmup & cooldown, audiobook for the session itself), commutes, walking, cleaning & cooking.

You should post here: !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml

This is not a technical support community.

(but also i’ve had the same issue since the last lemmy update, i suppose a bug made its way in there.)

and @eldritch.cafe !

Sounds like an issue with Jerboa more than with Lemmy tbh if you can’t properly block a community. Log in to the website and block the community there.

My suggestion would be to back it up on the Internet archive manually once in a while.

Over the past year, couldn’t be bothered to scroll more than that :)

I really liked this read! I blog, and I like my blog, but sometimes get stressed out because I feel like nobody’s reading it (I’ve removed all analytics on purpose because I used to get obsessed with them). Blogging for the simple act of blogging, and not for engagement, is the best!

The men around them.

It’s a gender-neutral variation of my birth name. I’m a simple person.

As said above, likes are virtually useless. They’re more like “noticeable bookmarks”. Mastodon etiquette is to boost rather than like, if you enjoy a toot, and that’s also how it was when the Twitter timeline was chronological and didn’t include likes, a very long time ago.

Being LGBTQ+, or not white, or not a man, or disabled.

Well:

• I’m annoyed at calling people who dislike an app and choose another website “refugees”
• I’m happy that we’re going to have more activity
• I hope more instances will be built and maintained, because I don’t think the large number of new members can be moderated effectively if they keep flocking to the same handful of instances
• When in doubt, I hope moderators will be too strict rather than not enough, especially in the beginning to make sure the behavioural expectations are very clear
