I definitely see some casual stuff on the subreddit. Maybe not memes, but certainly stuff about mocktails and a lot of humor.

Tbh, if this instance ends up becoming a replica of the sub, I'd be thrilled.

Great point! I heard one only once, and I remember it being super jarring. I'm always kind of amazed by how silently and smoothly they glide through the air.

Haha! Makes total sense. I appreciate your precision.

My knowledge of plants is mostly limited to stuff in the New Jersey Pine Barrens because I hike and paddle there often and read about it just as much. So when I think of a sundew, I'm thinking of the one I know that lives there.

(The Pines also has a cactus -- the prickly pear -- but now I'm questioning whether it's actually a cactus!)

Thanks so much. Next time I come across a cool plant that I can't identify, I'll post and tag you.

Thanks so much.

Love that. It must've been extra cool because you were young.

This is such an insightful and thoughtful post. It sums up exactly how I feel. I'm so over the negativity that I encountered daily on Reddit. Lemmy is a fresh start.

A few years ago, while searching for answers about how to live a better life, this simple and kinda sappy thought came to me. Maybe it seems obvious or sentimental, but I use it to guide my actions every day: Shape the world with love.

That's how I'm trying to contribute to Lemmy. And it seems like most other users are, too.

Congrats! That's amazing.

Totally sober for 263 days.

Got serious about it just before July 2020. I might've drank four or five times after I committed to a sober life.

Started experimenting with it in August 2017.

Kind of wild to consider how long and complex and fulfilling and challenging and ultimately wonderful my transition to sobriety has been.

It's great to be here with you folks!

I'm sorry you're dealing with that. I hope you get well soon.

And you're right. It's stunning what I put myself through two, three, four, five times a week. I chose to live life on the sidelines, depressed and in pain.

Great! Kayaked with my business partner for six hours yesterday, bouncing over rough surf on the open water and breaking branches through a tight river.

I woke up today, cleaned the kayaks, and decided to do a bunch of yardwork. Never, ever would've happened back in my drinking days.

I haven't done the daily affirmation in a while. But I haven't drink in a while, either. So thrilled to see stopdrinking coming to life here. IWNDWYT.

IWNDWYT!
