I like this, it shows there’s always a design possible with whatever materials/scraps you have lying around. And don’t forget the simplest design, if you have the space for it: just a pile on the ground.
For folks interested, we have a community dedicated to composting over at !composting@slrpnk.net Perhaps you would like to crosspost this over there as well.
I’ve only been on mastodon for a couple of days, but yes it is active, and depending on what you’re after it might we worth it. For me, it seems to be a nice mix of keeping up to date with things and people I already know, and at the same time stumble upon (related) things I did not yet knew about.
You will have to put in some effort to follow people/accounts/hashtags, but that’s kinda fun. Just try it out!
Same, I did have to remove the older version installed via f-droid before installation of the apk from GitHub would succeed though. That was when I updated from 0.0.31 to 0.0.32. Updating to 0.0.33 then worked without uninstalling anything. Liking it so far!
Yes, you created an account on one instance (in your case sh.itjust.works), but you’ve posted this question to the Jerboa community on another instance (lemmy.ml). And I am reading this from yet another instance, slrpnk.net. That’s the magic of the fediverse!
But that also means there are several moving parts and places where things can break or misbehave, hence my question because I am also still figuring this all out =).
Which community is that exactly, and from which to which instance?
I’m still not sure how all of that works, there was a post describing the same(?) problem a day or two ago: https://reddthat.com/post/1976
That’ll work when typing things online, but not in f2f conversations. I thought about ‘com(m)’ which will work, typed out in certain contexts, but I think that sounds too much like other words in several languages including English to use in speech. But if you prepend ‘lemmy’ to that it’s quite a distinguishable word that sounds like ‘lexicon’: lemmycom(m)!
There’s a lemmycom for that.
“Community” as the other replies already mentioned, but how do we abbreviate that? “Sub” worked well imho, but does “com” have the same ring to it? Any better suggestions?
I’ve had some success with searching for specific comment URLs indeed. The reply part I don’t know for sure.
Neat! I might experiment with horse manure in the future, as I have a convenient source for that anyway. And you might be very right about the danger of giving too much of anything, I might have killed my previous bin with too much (wet) food and no proper escape route. That, and/or a combination with some very hot weather we had around those days.
The good thing is, my three bin system features lots of worms when a bin is in the later stage, so I could simply restart my worm bin with worms from there. I should make some photos from both setups indeed.
Interesting: on slrpnk.net (so where the community lives) I see ‘3 users’ and a whopping ‘17 subscribers’. On lemmy.ml, the community shows ‘3 users’ but only ‘2 subscribers’. And it doesn’t seem that being a mod gives you any more numbers or insights whatsoever.
I’m not familiar with the details of setting up a Lemmy instance, but can’t you already get the new instance up and running with a modified /etc/hosts instead of waiting for the DNS to be updated? That might reduce your overall downtime a bit.
Experimenting with a very modest bucket, which resembles a small continuous flow through setup. I’ve cut out the bottom and put some thick wiring from side to side, mimicking the pvc or galvanized steel tubing you often see folks use.
My bedding is a mix of shredded cardboard and rice hulls. I think the whole setup is two months old now so I haven’t harvested yet, nor am I sure this is really going anywhere.
(Also, shameless plug perhaps, but I’ve started !composting@slrpnk.net for all types of composting including vermicompost !
Edit: I just noticed you actually already crossposted from there, but for some reason Jerboa does not show that here for me)
For f-droid you can consider adding https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/ to the tracked repositories. New builds might be available sooner there.
