I too think the same way. I purposely stay away from all due to excessive doom and gloom. However I haven’t really found any topic specific instance where I would enjoy local content. Now I think finding interesting topic specific instances is a problem whose solution I haven’t found yet. Communities I can find using search function; I even created an account on lemmy world simply to find obscure communities I would be interested in. I wish there would be a simple search function to find topic specific instances.

Couple of times I have come across a cat sitting and intently looking into a closed manhole (probably in hunting mode waiting for rats) and they completely ignore me when I meow at them! Lol.

As a a casual lemmy user with accounts on a few instances, I can say that I never visit the local or all fields of any of my logged in instances. I only visit my subscribed field, which is identical over all my accounts. How much do the local and all fields really matter for users?

I could never say no to that face 🥰 The ears are very impressive.

Aww. So lucky you come across cute cats when you are out and about. The cats in my area are always hiding when I go outside. I can see them from my balcony (on the 4th floor), but never when I am actually downstairs. The only time I actually see cats outside is when I visit the fish market.

Truly it was a most beautiful and inspiring story.

I’d say 5 out of 5 prefer a box.

I know it’s very preliminary data but can’t help being a little excited! It’s so interesting!

What breed are these tiny cute cotton balls?

Must say that’s a perfectly legitimate use of a new box!

I have found that I cannot concentrate on content if I am only listening to it. I think this is probably because I am not good at multi-tasking. So I listen to audiobooks of books which I have already read before, so that if I miss some point it won’t make a lot of difference. In my case listening to audiobooks is particularly helpful when I have a headache accompanied by eye strain. I just close my eyes and listen to any of my favourite books.

Me too. Just couldn’t put it down once I started. Had a lot of fun.

Newpipe with sponsor block is working great for me.

That was a very interesting read! Now I want a longer version.

I watch youtube on Mozilla with u block origin, on newpipe with sponsor block and also on freetube on pc

That’s true, stray population needs to be kept in control. Just hope things get better in the future for the strays, whether in Turkey, Greece or anywhere else.

This whole thing is so adorable and wholesome it put a smile on my face. Also, very funny!

The cats looking so intently at the singer is so adorable!

Exactly, haha.

Hey I just started The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky. It’s a huge book so expect to be occupied for a while!
