Threads like this are great!

Not for infromative purposes, but as a reminder how whipped and nonsensical cat owners can be.

I never noticed until I got my own cats though. Used to be a dog person, through and through. Still am, but now I also love my cats.

Now like dogs, they are individuals so there are adjustments needed but let me just list all that I do with my cats that works amazing for them...

  • ad libitum food, 2 cats, 4 bowls. 2 always full with dry food, 2 always full with water. (Now there's actually also two massive dog water bowls they have additional access to)
  • Night time crates; when we go to bed, they go to bed. No fuss, they are crate trained just like our 3 dogs.
  • Never outside without a harness/leash. These are pets, and unlike dogs which are easily contained with chains or fences cats are not. Its unethical and plain wrong to let your cat out to kill birds and encroach on others property. Barn cats are another tough topic, I won't touch on cause that's a situation. But irrelevant anyways since these are house cats.

These 2 cats are healthy af, not overweight and well they eat and drink well.

I'll add, I grew up with ad libitum dog feeding too. That said my 3 dogs currently are on a 2 meals a day regiment. This is purely due to the fact we have some overly food motivated breeds who will fight and we need to have them seperate when food is involved in any capacity (their food and food in general)

This rant just to say, cat owners very often come off as the type that try to sell chunks of gypsum and amethyst to heal your woes.

As an ad libitum cat feeder, 0 issues so far. They eat when they're hungry

The first xkcd I ever did see was this one, fitting that its also the first xkcd I've witnessed referenced on Lemmy

That's likely due to the exploit on your instance.

Most instances as a precautionary measure invalidated all login sessions.

You need to clear cache in tbe app and/or just delete your login and readd it.

I had to do it for Jerboa as my instance admins took the precautionary measure that yours did as well (though it was more necessary for lemmy.world aince they were jit hardest with the exploit)

Its the proper way to tag a community!

! For communities

@ for users iirc

Atleast the second point on your 'missed' list is generally instance related (atleast in my experience).

The only issues with buttons not working I had was when I didn't realise my instance was down to update to 0.8.1

And if its just a typo? Use strike through, then you can leave your funny typo and correct it

...and right here you can see, even Lemmy users can have bad takes!

I mean you're highlighting some points that support how open and decentralized that this place is?

It seems there is a healthy sentiment among users and understanding the tolerance paradox. Beyond that the ability to discuss around what we (an instance) wants vs what we (Lemmy) wants vs what we (individual users) want is great. The option the federate and defederate is also great, as if there is an instance adding 0 value to any of those prior groups (like lemmy.online), you as a community can decide to not federate. You as a user don't like that choice? You can go to another instance or make your own! The level of openess and control is really in your hands.

That's a new one... 15+ years on the internet, wtf does ICYMI stand for

I felt the need for a quick edit, I appreciate the knowledge drop. Wine drops my pleasantries and so I just dove in on my curiosity!
