Thanks for fixing my Lemmy notation!

I am so tired of infantilizing headlines and the proverbial "YouTube thumbnail face".
It's hard to see what's going on here, but you might try using an irrigation tool called a riser or nipple extractor -- it's designed for removing broken plastic risers outdoors, but might work if you can insert it far enough (it's difficult to tell from your photo if the material in the center is a liquid or a solid). Have a look at https://www.homedepot.com/p/Orbit-1-2-in-and-3-4-in-Plastic-Nipple-Extractor-26076/100203404
A few ways I've found communities that interest me:
-
Community promotion communities such as https://lemmy.ca/c/communitypromo provide pointers to topics of interest.
-
A good Lemmy client goes a long way toward facilitating content discovery; I'm a Voyager user, and it supports sorting Home (subscribed) and All (unsubscribed) post feeds in various ways including New, Active, Scaled, Controversial, etc.
-
When I was new to Lemmy, I used Voyager's subreddit migration tool to match communities with my interests (see https://vger.app/settings/reddit-migrate ) -- I believe Artic and a number of other clients have similar functionality.
-
Just browsing the All feed has helped me find communities (and compile a list of things to block!)
Thanks for clarifying!
Your point is well taken. However, there are communities where some of the bot posted content is just interesting enough to read, and I'm not sure that the owners of the rss@ or b0t@ accounts care much about their upvote / downvote ratios, but I suppose it could help some of Voyager's sorting filters.
Is that an Android client specific option? I don't see that item in Voyager 2.28 on iOS, but perhaps I haven't had enough coffee.
As others have said, one's view of Lemmy is highly dependent upon the instances and communities that one frequents. As someone who isn't a habitué of politics, news, sport or meme communities, I've found my fellow lemmings to be pleasant, but I also believe that that is due to trying to be helpful and polite myself and being willing to apologize when warranted.
Without the benefit of context, but with the benefit of a degree of fashion knowledge, I'll posit that this photo was taken in the DRC, and that these are Congolese sapeurs, who occupy a unique and wonderful niche in the style world -- see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Sape (La Sape being the movement of sapeurs and sapeuses, their female counterparts), as well as https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/gallery/2020/aug/27/congolese-dandies-meet-the-stylish-men-and-women-of-brazzaville-in-pictures , which has an excellent photo gallery showing examples of La Sape style.

Oh, lovely. I had no idea this existed, but I'll try it out. Many thanks!
