One of the great things about Lemmy is that you can control your user experience. No algorithms, no "suggestions" being forced on you, no ads, no data mining, no spez/Musk/Zuck. So curate my Lemmy space heavily and enjoy the peace and quiet and slow pace. R*ddit was my only social media for years so Lemmy is similar enough to that to be familiar and useful, but different enough to be worth using.

I couldn't get a recording or pick out any lyrics because it was in a supermarket and there was a lot of background noise. But if you've heard the song, I think the title might be enough. It had a very sparse instrumentation, drums fairly prominent, male singer, very strong melody.

I saw that Boost will require personal and financial info, location etc. It turned me off, tbh. At least the other Lemmy apps don't do that.

The only one I could find on the Play store is Liftoff. I guess the others have to be downloaded from elsewhere.

I'll be collecting food scraps for the birds that visit my yard, maybe taking a trip to take a break from where I live, some grocery shopping, and hopefully catch up on some sleep if I can.

Jerboa crashes constantly for me now, doesn't even let me view anything. JSYK!

Jerboa is almost unusable for me at the moment. A lot of crashes, pages not loading, messages not sending etc. But I know that's inevitable at times. Restarting my phone seemed to make it worse. But I know you guys are on it! 👍

My brain has also been operating slower than usual recently. Please fix.

Seriously though, keep up the good work! 👍

The birds that visit me daily. Some of them land on me and have a proper conversation with me. Always lifts my mood.

Yes, I'm on jerboa. I'll try the browser version. Cheers.

Pretty pointless, then.

Another question: how can I tell which communities I joined are from that instance? I tried to unjoin but I can't see anything that tells me which instance they are.

I appreciate the thorough explanation. But why did they defederate from us?

Before their latest album, I was something of a casual Metallica fan. I liked a handful of their songs, and considered the rest of their songs to be recycled versions of their songs that I liked.

Then St Anger happened. I thought they were maybe getting too old to keep raging like hormone-driven teenagers, maybe they should start releasing c&w albums or something.

Then 72 Seasons came along and blew my tiny little mind.

I'm not massively keen on every song, but (imo) there are no weak songs on this album. It has a different energy, they tried different approaches to lyrics, soloing, drumming etc, while incorporating those fresh ideas into their established sound.

My personal favs off the album are Lux Æterna and Inamorata. Such great energy and great messages! My boss at work loves Inamorata so my colleagues tolerate it, but they are sick to death of Lux Æterna (I had it on repeat for a long while).

So that's my Metallica story. What's yours?
