They added a bunch of QoL options and bug/annoyance fixes compared to PieFed and Lemmy, some examples are in the v0.30 and v0.3.2 release posts, but you can see more at https://lemmyverse.link/c/pylova@quokk.au

Not sure if it has that feature you want though, but the developer is very responsive to user requests.

I’m the kind of person who makes spreadsheets about everything, so I have a spreadsheet to see how my running performance changes over time and another one tracking my sleep, stress levels, habits, etc.

Most of this I could see on Garmin’s web UI, but I don’t assume the company will be around forever, so I’d rather save the data for myself. Now I don’t use the data for anything specific, but it’s nice to see it confirm the effect my good/bad habits have on my health 😅 Also it gives an extra motivation to get off my ass.

I prefer sticking to large instances, that’s why I was on lemmy.world and now piefed.world. I know some user settings are portable, but I want to be convinced of a server’s longevity before I switch.

I checked out http://joinpylova.org/instances.html earlier today, but none of the 3 seems appealing.

next day edit: actually, fuck it, I’m gonna try out quokk.au :)

I enjoy my Garmin for health and sports data, but I wouldn’t buy a regular smart watch, I don’t use its notifications or payments (or whatever else ppl use them for).

I love that level of detail in books! Reportedly in the first 6 books of the Wheel of Time every time they mention the moon, it’s in the correct phase. Iirc it’s never relevant to the plot.

had to look it up, this is indeed ridiculous 😅 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vCvnOv3-Og

I switched from Lemmy to PieFed a few months ago bc I really like the combined comment streams and hiding posts based on keywords (and the HPT-Fruits theme), but I’m eagerly waiting for PyLova to gain more traction, as it seems to address quite a few pain points of PieFed.

I hope this is satire 👀

interestingly it’s the same Violife brand that we have in the UK :)

thanks, TIL :)

I was enjoying reading this until he “found God” 😐 happy for his new healthy lifestyle though

Was that some sort of kombucha-flavoured soft drink? Actual kombucha drink tastes only like vinegar. (I drank it for maybe a year in a health-crazed period ~20 years ago xD)

Out of curiosity, where do you live? I’m in Scotland with occasional visits to Hungary, and both have a bunch of kinds of vegan cheese now. In the UK it’s more mainstream, but in Hungarian “organic shops” I found some interesting ones, like strawberry-flavoured cream cheese, that we don’t have in Scotland.

Back when I became vegan in 2012, the Scottish vegan cheese situation was dreary, but by the pandemic it got pretty good.

Hmm I really had to think hard about an example bc I would almost always prefer to be told the truth, e.g. if I had an incurable illness (I’ve seen my grandmother being lied to about her prognosis and it felt so disrespectful) or if I messed up something.

The only exception I could come up with is if it’s like in a workplace meeting a question of “what do you think?” and the true answer would be like “that you’re a bloody idiot” or “sorry I was just thinking of how hard I’m gonna fuck my partner tonight” or similar 😂

No, it relies on user tagging when creating a post, so sadly only works for posts made by PieFed users for now:

I think using an algorithm would be treacherous territory bc there would be guaranteed false positives.

PieFed has an option for blocking AI-generated posts

Yes please. It’s dispiriting to regularly go through the cycle of seeing an interesting project pop up here, oh wait it’s vibe-coded crap, nevermind…

Wishing you success in your career change!

What job did you switch to?
