Largely by avoiding waterproof or water resistant skincare products such as sunscreen and makeup. Also avoid using nonstick cookware.

Is this a good idea?
Yes, this is how lemmy is meant to be used.
Is it causing increased load on the server end?
Maybe, if you're the only person on the instance that's subscribed to that community but it's not abnormal usage.
Stack exchange has a similar system. My problems with it: how the content reviewers are selected (people reviewing content they don't like creates a lot of reviewer bias, moderators usually only moderate content they have an interest in) and people spend more time "curating" content than creating it.
Well that's certainly an interesting strategy, let's see how that works out
Tbh I think an instance not enforcing tagging content as nsfw is probably very strong grounds for blocking imo
I thought the idea with lemmy was that the instances would tend to be grouped by topic/area so it makes sense that the people running a tech instance would also be involved in creating/running the tech communities on that instance. Some are more purpose-built than others tho.
Hey those are the reasons I signed up. It's less canada-centric than lemmy.ca. Beeshaw and lemmy.ml are at high capacity rn, it's important to spread new users over multiple servers so welcome!
Listed as the 3rd most popular article rn too
I'm also a bit more worried about the niche communities on reddit. If some of them don't pop up on their own then I'll start to create some.
A victory and a struggle, I stayed up too late setting up my lemmy account and have destroyed my sleep schedule but I was able to remember to put out the trash at 4am before I went to sleep.
It's hard but stick with it! I'm trying to change my meds and all the appointments suck because I go so used to a phone call for renewal once every 3 months. Especially since my doctor would just call me later if I missed the phone call.
Same!
Not really a new thing for them, they've been trying to milk r/place since the first one. The last time they let it run too long as well, it needed to be like a 1 or 2 day max thing not a week
