Let’s hope so.
I did just want to follow up my original comment with another saying a big thank you for creating this space, whatever instance it resides on. I don’t want you to feel my words were a complaint. Just sharing of an observation and possible solution.
I hope that once my life calms a little (just moved apartments and downsized) I’ll be able to contribute more to this space and help it grow.
I see it now. Nice. ❤️
Fair enough. I just wanted to put the idea out there.
Lemmy certainly has growing pains and that is understandable given it is still under development. I just felt that being on this instance in particular appeared to be amplifying those growing pains and hobbling the community, perhaps avoidably.
For me the only reliable method right now is separate accounts on multiple instances that house the communities I sub to. Then I can view and comment locally with up a full and up to date view of the posts. It certainly isn’t a convenient or simple solution but it is the most reliable. I hope I can revert to a single account in the future and others aren’t discouraged from migrating here as Tte Reddit situation certainly isn’t improving.
Hey @G59, I found another OneBag community at https://wayfarershaven.eu/c/onebag. That instance is all about inspiration, creativity, handwork, reading, travel so it seems like a good fit. c/onebag has little content right now but c/heronebag is also there and is getting a little traction. It also isn’t on lemmy.ml which seems to be overloded right now so that is a bonus.
I just see your comment. No picture.
Essentialism.
I started it once before and didn’t really like it and gave up, but I had been on a minimalism/simple living reading marathon for a while at that point and was a bit burnt out and needed some fiction. I’ve waited 6 weeks for a copy to become available again at my library again so am starting again now.
My wife and I wanted to live on a boat. Sadly, it never happened, but as part of the preparation process we went from a 1200 sqft house to a 600sq ft studio apartment and got rid of a load of stuff to make it happen. It was great!
We did well for several years of keeping a small footprint, even after the dream of the boat collapsed, but experienced a slight relapse during the pandemic. Just now reducing again having moved from a two bedroom place to a one bedroom to offset unaffordable rent.
What a nice surprise. Loading this community on my home instance shows just 2 subscribers! I was wondering why no one was subscribing!
