Odd, I guess pins still don't federate consistently?
Did it a few times, and it looks like it's pinned there now :)

Good call, pinned!
She's so expressive 😄
They should do the same on the Play and App Store.

I find it weird when people suggest Discord or Microblogging as an alternative.
It's such a different format, and it fits a different purpose. I'm on Discord and Mastodon, but I wouldn't try and recreate a subreddit/lemmy community on either of those places
I think it's regional, I haven't heard it often, but I have heard it before. I guess pat = patty?
This link uses both terms for example
cow patties

In the world of 90s' nostalgia, there may be no more remarkable art style than that of Carson Dellosa, whose school supplies and decorations were tacked onto the walls of the classrooms of almost everyone who went to school in the 80's, 90's, or 2000's.
On our new user application, we have a question for 'What communities you would most like to participate in.'
When I read through those applications, a lot of the time I remember communities that would fit what they're looking for. While we could send them some links in an introductory message, it would be better to crowdsource that information.
If we can encourage people to ask about communities, that might help? I could do more of that myself, since I don't think I've ever asked before.
[email protected] allows request posts, and if the volume gets to high we can redirect people to [email protected] (or equivalent communities) so users can stay subscribed to CommunityPromo without seeing question spam in their feeds
Yea I think that was the joke in that scene, but I can't seem to find a clip of it
Cool, thanks for highlighting that! It could be worth its own post
Some Lemmy clients/apps break the link if you don't include the https bit, so here it is again for those that need it: https://tirespy.ca/

How pikas weather the winter
Plateau pikas (above) spend their entire lives in high-altitude, treeless terrain across parts of Asia where few other mammals ever venture. In a 13-year study on China’s Qinghai–Tibetan plateau—known as “the roof of the world”—biologists with the Chinese Academy of Sciences investigated how these small cousins of rabbits can survive without hibernating in habitats where winter temperatures often plummet to minus 20 degrees F. Using special devices that measure internal body temperature, the researchers checked daily energy expenditures for 156 wild pikas during summer and winter. They discovered that the animals reduce their metabolisms by about 30 percent during the cold months, in part by lowering their body temperatures several degrees overnight. Writing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the team reports that the animals also rely on an abundant—and unexpected—food source: the feces of domestic yaks. “It massively reduces the amount of time pikas need to spend out on the surface,” says co-author John Speakman, an ecophysiologist at Scotland’s University of Aberdeen who participated in the project. Pikas are more abundant, the scientists note, in parts of the plateau where the long-haired yaks also are more prevalent.
