I haven’t yet begun homeschooling, but I did join some fb groups in my area. I like to gather what resources (eg curricula) or ideas they have and think about what I’d prefer. Some group members don’t align exactly with what I want or have questionable information, so always do your own research too.

But I have found that talking about homeschooling with friends and coworkers opened up many conversations about it, and I didn’t even realize they homeschooled. So it seems less intimidating to have some successful methods or curricula implemented, instead of the overwhelming amount of info on the web.

Like I said, I havent started yet, but I’m happy to share what I found for ideas.

    Yeah, that is what I was referring to with boosting. I think I understand now. For a short while, it looked to me like there were replies on Mastadon that I didnt write, but apparently they are just all of the “boosted” posts coming from Lemmy comments. Thank you.

    Just when I think I have somewhat of an understanding of the fediverse, there becomes more questions. So, I am the moderator for !dadjokes@lemmy.world and I see many “boosted” posts. Does that occur any time there is a comment on that post from Lemmy, or has someone made another account on Mastadon that is using the same photos from the dadjokes Lemmy community?

    What app are you using? If you’re on iOS, I know the Voyager app allows for selection of filtering your search to Communities, Users, Posts, etc. and Lemma has a pretty good smart search that has found the communities I was looking for.

    As far as I am aware, at least one user on your instance needs to be subscribed to a community on a different instance or at least specially searched for it to be searchable. In your case, if no one on lemmy.world is subscribed to or specifically searched for lemmy.radio/c/amateur_radio, you wouldn’t see it on a search from you lemmy.world account. Otherwise you’ll need to use a browser to find the community and seek it out on the web. Not super streamlined yet, I agree.

    The only other more functional browser searches that I know of are:

    https://lemmyverse.net/ and https://browse.feddit.de/

    Alright thanks for that. Sorry I did a ban without warning. Still figuring out the whole modding thing. I think I’ll need to get back to a desktop to see the unban option.

    edit: Alright it shows on my end that you are now unbanned. Remember not to iron any four-leafed clovers (don't press your luck!). Happy dad-ing out there.

    I know back in the old country (blueit er redhat or whatever it was) there was a rule for waiting a year or some time before reposts were allowed again. Should there be something like that here?

    On an unrelated note, I got my friend the other day with a zinger. They were recovering from surgery and said they were moving up their diet and the nurse was getting them a liquid menu. I said, “LIQUID MENU? HOW ARE YOU GONNA HOLD IT?” …I think I could hear eyes rolled over the phone.

     

    Has anyone else tried finding a lemmy.world community on lemmyverse.net? I don’t see any results for known communities that exist. I’m not sure if that is intentional or overlooked or what. The last I checked, that search was still being used to find communities that maybe haven’t been connected yet to a user’s home instance.

     

    I know customization comes after functionality on the priority list, but I would love a few color options in the Appearance settings to replace the blue. Purple, orange, and turquoise would be at the top of my list.

    I prefer a dark background anyway, so the background would be less of a worry, but a graphite grey and beige would be nice eventually too.

    Thanks to everyone that is working on this.
