After taking a couple of days break from this community as I felt I was posting too much; coming back and skim reading some of the comments / threads:

Aww, why? I don’t think anyone can ever post too much.

[–] indisin@aussie.zone 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I was checking way too often and had a broken sleep cycle which meant opening up the latest daily thread at like 4am rather than going back to sleep...

Btw thank you again for the flowers info! I still can't get over how excited they (florist) were on the phone

[–] Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 5 points 5 months ago

You’re so welcome! Glad they were so enthusiastic! ✨

Yeah, yesterday was..... Something.

[–] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 5 points 5 months ago

Some days it's all strawberries, other days are not so sweet. I put it down to the hot weather combined with the fear of upcoming Christmas shopping.

I don’t get how some of youse only ever post in the dailies.

You’re on the whole of Lemmy and you keep to one post. So weird.

We're a family group here. We don't need to see the world, we only need to see each other

I only came to Lemmy for this community

I keep to Local and Subscribed. I used to explore wider around Lemmy, but the feed is full of US politics, and wars in Gaza and Ukraine. I don't find many kind people and reasoned discussions in those posts.

I'd probably be up for wider content sometimes, but I also don't want to get to a point where I'm spending 5 hours a day on Lemmy. I'd rather spend those hours reading a book. Presently, that book is Farnsy's Autobiography and it's really tickling my nostalgia.

I sent you a dm :)

I'm part of the Lemmy problem here as old.reddit has far more activity in niche communities that I enjoy so I stick over there, which then means the activity stays on old.reddit except other than with this beautiful community of local awesome people in this daily thread.

Lol, I scroll Lemmy like I did with Reddit, I don't comment much because I don't think I have much to say. I do upvotes posts I see. But why come here and look down on us?
