I'm in northern Spain and the last time it rained properly was November 2022 (we had about 120mm in a day, which did a fair bit of damage). Since then, it's been 8mm at most - which is hardly anything.

Tomorrow night we're predicted to get about 50 mm, which would be amazing and fill all our water tanks. We only have rain as a water source and the local rivers are getting more and more dry. If we do get that much rain that'll mean cancelling some plans (can't get to the tarmac road when it's that wet) but boy do we need it :')

Side question - in my area, we measure rainwater in millimiters per centimeter and liters per meter (10 mm = 10 liters per square meter). How do you measure rain in your country?

I know, it's hilarious how they want to be at the "centre of Europe" again. What? They have always been to special for that, and now, they're the laughing stock of Europe.

I can't help but see skone. However, my husband insists on being team skon so we both call it a skon, against my best judgement.

I use probably 7 or 8 plugins in total but these are the ones I couldn't live without:

  • Templater
  • Advanced Tables
  • Natural Language Dates
  • Text Snippets
  • Todoist Plugin
 

[email protected] and [email protected] , I think are pretty self explanatory :)

Thanks, interesting point. I guess if the load is distributed enough, we won't have Lemmy devs asking for donations to keep the servers running under bigger and bigger loads 👍🏼

I don't think I'll be visiting each community to look at each thread, but in my experience on Reddit, once you're subscribed to a certain number of communities you won't be able to see them all in your feed, so that's why I wonder :) Though I guess Reddit has some kind of interest algorithm to show you stuff, as I noticed that if I visited a subreddit directly it would then start coming up in my feed more often - I wonder if Lemmy would have the same kind of thing - the more you interact with a community the more likely it is to come up on your subscribed feed.

 

Welcome everyone. Are you already homesteading/working on self sufficiency or just interested? I live off grid in Spain on 3 hectares, with a small house and a few animals :)

Is it possible to run an instance without a static IP address?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yeah I guess that's what I'm struggling with, say for example I'm into baking and there's a baking community here on .world, but maybe there's another one on .ml and wait here's a good one on .ca or something. So I'll be subscribing to three different baking communities in three different instances, it seems a bit redundant/divisive? But maybe it's just because it's early days, and with time the "best" communities will conglomerate and people will know the "best" baking community is on the .ml instances, but the best cooking one is on .world, etc, instead of subscribing to multiples of the same.

Thanks, so for example I see you've signed up in an AUS instance, would you have other accounts somewhere else or use this one in different instances?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Thanks, it also looks like if I want to sub to a community on a different instance, I have to search for it from my own instance, as I can't hit "subscribe" in the community list on another instance. Regarding losing access to your account, do people keep multiple accounts to avoid this? No idea how likely instances are to go down.

 

I am new and trying to understand how Lemmy works. I am posting this from my lemmy.world account, on a lemmy.ml community. It seems like you can read, post, subscribe to whatever community outside of the instance you're registered with. So... Why register on lemmy.world vs lemmy.ml or any other instance, if all communities are accessible to everyone?
