Somebody suggested doing this only weekly. What do you guys think?

This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn’t fall into “autism related” then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.

I like it daily. It feels more journalesque. Plus, the reddit-like nature of Lemmy means a weekly thread would be buried in my feed after the first day and never surface again for me to chime in on.

Today, I went to the gym for the second day in a row. I've been jogging, trying to improve my (awful) cardio. My current goal is 10 laps of the track every time I go, and today was the first day that I managed to do a set of 5 laps without breaking. My soleus muscles were screaming at me, but I managed to pull off 2x5 today. Really hoping I can carry this forward and work up to 1x10 by end the end of February.

For the rest of the day, I'm going to be tinkering around with nodeBB. See if I can get it set up and federating. Not going to push myself, though. I just did a total refresh on my VPS, and none of the lessons I learned during my first setup have stuck, so I'm starting over from scratch. Really looking forward to viewing the fediverse through the lens of a traditional forum, though. I'm so incredibly over the Reddit and Twitter view of the Internet.

I like daily casual! One option could be a weekly post that is meant to be "open" for the whole starting week (post would be on monday), like a chat, instead of looking back to the past week (posting on sunday). Dunno if I make any sense here. But I'd definitely like more of this casual discussion and these daily posts have been a nice start!
