  • I start with a 3:1 ratio of water to grounds, maybe 4:1 by the time it mixes. I do mine in a mason jar, so I fill the jar to 500ml with grounds then I fill that up the rest of the way with water. Its a 1.75L jar so I figure about 1500ml water goes in as its mixing up with the grounds.

    Let sit for a day in the fridge and stir or shake occasionally.

    This makes a good concentrate, which I then mix with water to get the right taste.


  • Also different instances hide different communities and so they don’t show up at all unless you are a direct subscriber.

    I learned about this on my instance when some news communities were hidden, turns out my instance has quite a list of hidden communities, which isn’t a bad thing, but it can contribute to the incomplete timeline issue and if you don’t know about the hidden communities feature its very hard to diagnose why you’re not seeing what you expect to see.

    In my case I wasn’t subscribed to some of the news communities because I would catch the top posts in /all, which keeps my subscribed feed focused on things I’m actively interested in. So hidden communities are a challenge when you use /all and /subbed in that way.


  • The average user will go to join Lemmy and abort, because they can’t grasp the idea that joining one server gets them into other servers. They worry about server selection, have analysis paralysis, and nope out. That’s why they’re asking for a bluesky reddit and not a mastodon reddit.

    Normie’s want centralization because they don’t understand how else it can work and while some can learn and have it explained many will give up before giving it a chance.


  • Agree. It works well, but in the context of the original meme, not getting updates is a risk to Lemmy api breaking changes breaking the app. There’s also a few annoying theming issues with eternity. For a free app its good, but leaves something wanting compared to some of the other apps. Even if it has the better UI.
