It’s just a Jerboa thing for now, you can browse other instances with out logging into them but Jerboa doesn’t have a way of doing that implemented.

Honestly you should, the concept of Lemmy is great, but it is severely lacking in content. The more things people see they like the more people will stay, and there’s a lack of things to see.

I’m on .33 and agree with OP scrolling feels a little stuttery and stops abruptly when my finger comes up. I have a low end phone from last year, but text and images never give me any issues even with a full cache.

I am a reddit migrant, but I’ve been lurking off and on for a year or so. Honestly it has a feel like it could be like reddit was a long time ago, smaller communities, more engagement with people that really care about the community, and communities that really feel niche. One of the things that’s sucked to watch on Reddit is the amount of random communities I run into on all that aren’t gaming or another animes soft core hentai subreddits has decreased significantly. So it feels like there are 10 meme subreddits that all post the same picture, 5 politics subreddits that all post the same stories and memes, and then various popular subreddits that just aren’t something I’m into like formula1. I miss finding new interests on all, for example it got me into fountain pens. Or at the very last allowing non-drawn nsfw content on all kept me scrolling long enough to find it lmao.

You can visit communities in other instances by searching !community@instance.com but, to my knowledge you can’t get the “local” experience of other servers yet.

The thing about this is your talking about paths to two different results.

On the one hand you have the traditional range of reps and sets. Let’s say I do 3x8 squats or for this example weighted push ups. When I put so much weight on my back that I can only barely do 3x8 I’m pushing my muscles to their limits and inducing hypertrophy. This leads to more muscle mass and maybe next week I can go up a few pounds. I’ll probably be able to do 3x10 or 3x12 later on, (a lot of programs are based on this) but I won’t hit 100 push ups only doing 30 or so at a time.

Contrast this with low weight or body weight and extremely high reps. The limiting factors on how many unweighted push ups in a row I can do are different, for example when’s the last time lactic acid build up stopped you from hitting a PR? This type of muscle failure is not nearly as productive at inducing hypertrophy, so as a result you gain less muscle mass and strength. You’d also see little difference in how much weight you could have on your back and still do push ups.

All that being said, you don’t train for a marathon only doing parachute sprints. You’ll see a lot of “first responder” regiments that have workouts like you’ve described, the idea being they need extended periods of strength. Depending on your goals you may find either approach attractive, but I’d say 95% of people that working out for strength/health/looks would be happiest with typical strength training program and some good cardio (I like rowing machines because they’re amazing cardio and still make my muscles feel like they’re being engaged.) Another advantage is time, there’s no reason an average person should have to spend more than 3-12 hours a week to accomplish reasonable goals.

John Steinbeck’s later years are probably at least problematic, but i think The Grapes of Wrath is excellent and it doesn’t get brought up discussing socialist literature. It’s an amazing book just due to the writing but it touches on a lot of core socialist values, the oppression of the proletariat, capitalist destruction of the environment, the need for solidarity, etc. When i bring it up most people wave it off as a book they had to read in school I read it on my own in my twenties and it’s still one of my favorite books with Flowers for Algernon.

Right now to add an instance you have to log into an account @thatInstance.

Based.

I completely agree with this, the entire point of federated services is if you don’t want to share the website with edgy internet socialists you just don’t join one that ends in .ml. It’s not like only the best people in the world use Reddit…
