I was going to say that I don’t think being isotonic had any relation to how refreshing a drink is except in terms of taste. But then after thinking about it, salt does affect the rate of water excretion into the urine and water retention in blood. And because of this phenomenon they always recommend low salt diets for people with high blood pressure. So I guess in a way, a low salt diet would be considered more “isotonic.” But solid food will inherently not be isotonic due to containing more carbs and amino acids than water.

It only affects devices running iOS 15.7, which was several updates ago (latest update is 16.5.1) so most iphone users are safe.

wait people still use lua?

The existence of people who detransition is often brought up in anti-trans circles as a criticism of gender-affirming care. However, the actual number of trans people who even just regret getting medical treatments is like 0.5%. Versus something like 14% for medical surgeries in general. And this is including trans people who regret it for social or economic reasons.

And not just a regular amicable breakup but one where you left after finding out the other person was actually a cold-hearted narcissist who only pretended to care about you and now they’re lying to everyone about how you were the horrible one. So it’s understandable to feel some schadenfreude for awhile.

There’s also the possibility of just paying off owners of popular instances in exchange for allowing advertising to its members and installing trackers.

I dont’t know what’s so confusing about this. Just sign up for an instance who’s accepting new users after researching about what an instance is and finding one that’s not overbooked and is accepting new users and then once you’re on, just find new communities but also change the settings to “all” and then start a new community when what you wanted wasn’t there except there’s some sort of format error when you do that but it’s ok because the community you wanted was there all along it just wasn’t searchable because no one from your instance had searched for it/joined it yet. It seems pretty self-explanatory to me. Just don’t talk about the linking.

Hopefully mlem gets new features added. I don’t know how to subscribe to new communities on it or see replies to my comments so I use the browser as well.

Yes. I thought this was already the default “home page” to send people to. It might also be nice or have a quick sign up option where a new user is randomly assigned to an available instance instead of them having to go through and research which one they should join. This would keep things distributed (which is the whole point of using not-super-user-friendly lemmy) instead of everyone just signing up on the same instance.

On most instances, yes! The instance owner provides server space for the community. When I was comparing instances, there were some that did not allow users to create their own communities so it looks that’s something the owner can choose to enable/disable. But no need to ask for permission if it’s enabled. I can’t find it now but one of the instances just posted a no porn rule on theirs. So you can always check your local feed to look for any relevant rules.

It’s just cool to see the variety of refugees here sharing memories of their previous communities in the once glorious homeland made uninhabitable by the authoritarian regime.

Just confirming test is now complete. No further replies necessary.

Don’t know where to put this, but I I’ve been having issues finding communities that I know exist. But I found that searching in “posts” for a keyword instead of “communities” wil often take me to where I want to go. (For instance, searching for “lawn” brings up posts in the “nolawns” community I was looking for.)
