  • Here are a few things off the top of my head.

    Deleted accounts leave orphaned posts/comments, which still exist on the site but can be difficult for admins to find and remove: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5525

    Private message reports don’t go to all the right people: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4436

    We should be getting some vote analytics in the future, which will be great. Lemmy seems to have a significant number of vote manipulation accounts that only exist to upvote/downvote in unison, but they are currently hard to find. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5669

    I really should open an issue to improve the reports queue. It’s tolerable if you mod an individual community or a smaller instance, but it is unusable as an admin on a really big instance like .world. There is no way to search or sort the reports. You can filter by posts or comments but then it only shows you 20 entries, which is a weird and unhelpful limitation. All reports have equal priority; there is no mechanism for users to flag reports that should be escalated to admins. And, if something is heavily reported, there is no way to batch resolve the reports after you address the issue.








  • I would rather find ways to encourage people to eat foods that are natural sources of magnesium. They provide lots of other dietary benefits beyond just magnesium.

    • Soy products (milk, flour, tofu)

    • Legumes and seeds

    • Nuts (almonds, cashews, Brazil nuts)

    • Peanuts and peanut butter

    • Whole grain breads and cereals (brown rice, millet)

    • Fruit (bananas, dried apricots, etc.)

    • Vegetables, particularly dark green, leafy vegetables (artichokes, chard, beet greens, avocados, etc.)

    • Dried beans (lima, black-eyed peas, navy)


  • Favorite #1, Greek-ish:
    Olive oil
    Lemon juice
    Crushed or minced garlic
    Salt
    Black pepper

    Favorite #2, Mexican-ish:
    Olive oil
    Lime juice
    Chili powder
    Cumin
    Salt

    Favorite #3, lazy pseudo-Japanese:
    Soy sauce

    Idk the exact proportions. Just wing it. With a bit of experience you’ll get it dialed in to suit your taste.

    Marinate anywhere from 2 hours to overnight. Longer time = stronger flavor. Cook the chicken on the grill if you have one. Otherwise, bake it in the oven.



  • Product designer/engineer in the US

    If the team is going out to lunch to celebrate a special occasion, then a single drink has always been fine in the teams I worked with. I don’t partake anymore because it makes me really sleepy in the afternoon.

    I worked at one company that hosted a weekly happy hour. I was one of the employees who took turns setting up the kegs in the common room, and pouring drinks during the event. That was a fun place. The extra social time really improved some working relationships. And we got a surprising amount of productive work done just by talking for an hour or two while standing around sipping microbrews and wine.
