I recommend you check out TheFreePizzaDude on Imgur. There is a limit to how often you can receive donations (like once every other month), but they will help with getting you a pizza or even some regular groceries if you ask.

What kind of psycho gets a knuckle tat on the inside of their knuckles?

You know if you block something you aren’t interested in you don’t even have to scroll past it, right?

Alt-text descriptions should clearly convey both the content and the meaning of the image, and should aim to use as few words as needed. Describe what’s essential to understanding (and enjoying!) the intent of the posted photo — you don’t need to add in a sentence for every visual element, but should include as much as you need to create an accurate portrayal of the image. Cut out unnecessary words and combine separate sentences as much as possible. One to two sentences is usually more than enough room to describe what’s going on.

As mentioned before, these photos convey information to the people scrolling your page, even if you are just posting them to brighten up your feed. They have a purpose, and for that reason, alt text should focus more on the image’s meaning than its aesthetics. This means you’re not focused only on what the object in the photo looks like, but what it is and why it was posted.

I was hoping to see a format that people can easily follow and just fill in the blanks, but I suppose this is the gist of it: Describe the main purpose of the photo succinctly rather than each and every individual thing you can see.

This is more of a broad suggestion, but try to look for a discount grocer in your area. Where I live we have one called Grocery Outlet, they sell a lot of generic and near-expiration products for a bargain. Whenever I go, I’ll find things I like that are around half the price they’d be at a typical grocery store.

Bethesda is like low-hanging fruit for this topic. I love their games but there’s so much “it just works” type stuff.

Like in Fallout 4 you can use a critical with a Fat Man, and even if your mini-nuke clearly does not hit the target, you’ll still get a hit just because you used a critical.

I would probably recommend trying Imgur. You need to link a phone number to the app when creating an account, but that actually helps cut down on bot traffic a lot, so it’s pretty much all real humans who will see your posts.

One user on Imgur that I see post often will put up a whole gallery of wholesome memes, then a random Go Fund Me link at the end just to help them get attention. I can’t say how effective it is, but it sure does get visibility once it hits the front page. Maybe try something like that but with some pics and info about your kitty?

Good luck, I hope you get the help you need!

Paraphrased, it says: “this made me think hard because I don’t like either option”

Nothing else is important information, just sensational fluff to make a regular statement sound more exciting.

Nice trick with the bell pepper, I may have to copy that

I think the egg is supposed to be boiled, but the rest looks great

Nobody on Lemmy is under the age of 30.

Although I might feel 30 sometimes, I’ll have you know I’m a ripe 28 & ¾

In a past thread on this topic, I’ve seen a few indie artists say that they benefit because Spotify amplifies their audience. They make crap on the streams, but a larger audience base is worth the trade-off since they’ll be able to sell more concert tickets and merchandise.

Thank you. The moment I saw it, I knew it would be appreciated in this shitposting community.

Imo it feels like the reddit migration has died down, but a good chunk the users that have stuck around are actually engaged in their communities. I’ve been seeing more instances created too, which is cool because it means people are hosting their own.

More recently I’ve noticed that Sync actually plays embedded videos now, which is probably the best update since its release. It’s feeling a lot more user-friendly and that should help it keep growing organically.

The only times I use reddit anymore is browsing with old.reddit a couple times a week. I don’t even login to that site now because I don’t engage with anything, I just check the news and stuff then come back to Lemmy.

You can put them in a microwave and watch cool designs appear as you destroy them. I remember my siblings and I used to do this with old demo discs that were destined for the trash anyway.

(Disclaimer: this is more of a joke, not an actual recommendation)

Out of all the most prominent streaming services, Hulu has the most content I’d actually watch. Unfortunately, they still show ads in their cheaper paid subscription, which is a deal-breaker for me.
