My "lawn"! (vlemmy.net)
 

It's always a work in progress but this is after 3 years. I want to extend the meadow all the way to the pond.

Confession. I wrote a lot of fake stories on Reddit. in c/reddit@lemmy.ml

I always felt the rise of fake stories came with the change to karma for text posts. It used to be that a text post gave no karma and so there was no incentive to karma farm that way. Once the change happened, many text-based subreddits had their quality drop dramatically.

Did you post to r/amitheasshole? I used to love that one

"Tanky" and the perception of Lemmy. in c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world

Yes, a magazine is just a community or subreddit. I prefer the UI of Kbin but the terminology takes some getting used to. There's also regular posts and microblogs.

Tomorrow many subreddits will open up again, will you switch back to Reddit or stay on Lemmy (or use both) in c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world

I plan to stay on Lemmy/Kbin and abandon reddit for the most part

How to prep your site: De-sodding (vlemmy.net)
 

When it comes to replacing a lawn with native plants there are a few ways to prepare the site. The two main ones are de-sodding and sheet mulching. In this post I will be discussing the former.

First, here is a link to an album with photos and captions. https://imgur.com/a/0Fh2Ned

De-sodding is simply, lifting the top layer of sod off of the soil.

You might ask why this method and not others. It all comes down to personal preference. I have prepared sites either with de-sodding or sheet mulching. I have found that plants took off much faster with the de-sodding method but you may also have more weeds to contend with.

Some of you may ask, what about tilling? Tilling is almost always not recommended. When you till, you bring up many unwanted seeds out of the seed bank. It is also disrupts the soil.

Now let's get started...

Step 1: Mow your desired planting site as low as possible

Step 2: Get de-sodding! You can use a shovel, a manual device or a powered one designed for this purpose. A shovel will be very labor-intensive and not very practical for a large area. Your local hardware store may have a powered de-sodder to rent.

Step 3: Remove the sod that has now been separated from the soil. You can use shovels, try to roll it, or any other method. We used our utility tractor to scrape it off.

Step 4: Spread top soil around your new site. A nice thin, even layer will do

And that's it! If you are planting by seed you can spread it by hand or machine and gently rake it in. Seeds don't want to be buried deep, just on the surface level.

I hope this helps and please ask me any questions!

What would YOU like to see in the next Zelda game. in c/zelda@lemmy.ml
[–] dominoko@vlemmy.net 2 points 1 year ago

All I want is to go back to the classic Zelda formula of a linear story with dungeons. BOTW and TOTK are great, but I miss the old games. I miss getting a new item that suddenly makes new parts of the world accessible.

I'm afraid, however, we won't ever see this type of Zelda again. BOTW and TOTK have sold an insane amount of copies. This may be the new normal for Zelda.

Also, please let there be more 2D games.

Redditors, how do you like Lemmy? in c/technology@beehaw.org
[–] dominoko@vlemmy.net 2 points 1 year ago

The learning curve is steep but I'm feeling very optimistic and excited to be a part of a new community. Reddit had been going downhill for years ( I joined in 2010).

I plan to stay no matter what reddit does next.

Has there been any mention of mod support?
