Urban exploring (for lack of a better term) with no purpose other than to discover. I live in a city and I'm constantly just wandering around going down streets I've never been down or into alleys I've never been in or checking out stores I've never been to. This is my approach when I travel to other cities and other countries too, I often don't have a plan for my trip/vacation, I just arrive there and then start to wander and see what I find.

I haven't figured this out either, there might not be a way to do it at all within the app. Hopefully that will come in a new update because it's really annoying when I see a link for a community I want to subscribe to and I just want to stay in the app!

I read The Road and it just didn't click with me, I finished it feeling like it was just "ok." I think part of the problem was how much it had been hyped up by other readers and how famous it was and I went into it expecting to be changed when I came out, though I wasn't. I'll give McCarthy another try though, I have both No County for Old Men and Blood Meridian sitting on my bookshelf and I'll get to them eventually.

It's perfectly natural to be scared of change but it is fruitless because change is going to happen whether you want it to or not. Even if you stay here, things are going to change. Remember that and use it to help you get past your fear of change.

You're also focusing on the negatives, what about the positives? What if this internship turns out to be the best thing you've ever done? What if it does lead you to wanting to stay there which then leads you to an amazing life that you love and makes you happy? Even if you stay here, you and your partner might not stay together and how would you feel if you gave up this opportunity and you guys break up 6 months down the road and you're full of regret for not taking the internship?

If I were you I would 100% take the internship abroad, that's an opportunity that the majority of people don't get. Take it!

I hope that button gets implemented, that would be perfect!

Give us "normies" a little credit. I'm not technical minded AT ALL and I'm still willing to stick around and figure out how this shit works. Do I understand it? Hardly. Does the app I'm using (Jerboa) work? Barely. (Although today's new release has improved it greatly, thanks guys!). But I'm still floundering around here and it's a bit frustrating. I'm still going to give it a go though. I'm confident that improvements will come that make it easier here for everyone like me that uses the internet a lot but doesn't really understand the internet that much.

But maybe I'm just willing to stick it out because I was only looking for an excuse to leave Reddit and the means to do so. I admit I don't really care about the recent debacle, I just miss the old Reddit of 10-15 years ago and I don't like what it's become (a place full of memes, TikTok videos, dumb jokes, and hardly any real conversation anymore). It took this most recent fiasco for people to start talking about alternatives and that's when I finally learned about the fediverse and made the move. It has been a lot easier to leave when I knew where I could go.

Fellow plant enthusiast here, thanks for the link to your instance!

I would love to see GolfGTI spring up over here.

Woohoo, another SD local! I'll definitely join in the Padres community, just as soon as I figure out how to find it... (I'm still learning and still a bit confused)

This is my first experience with fediverse, I had never even heard of it before. So far it's going okay, there are some things I wish were different or easier, but maybe that's just because it's new and feels clunky because I haven't figured it all out yet.

In general though I am enjoying Lemmy so far, it feels like being on internet message boards back in the old days (20-25 years ago)!

I agree that this will be a fun evolution to watch!

Your picture isn't showing up for me :( I also haven't been able to use the app yet, I downloaded it but no matter what button I press on the screen it just keeps telling me I need to "login first" and I can't log in anywhere...
