Posting in English to English communities, one of which I have posted to before. Just started getting getting this error today, only when using interstellar. Can post on piefed from the web logged into my Lemmy account fine. Posting to Lemmy from interstellar works fine. Posting here using interstellar worked fine.

it’s not letting me post on the piefed server. I can see wetshav.ing, can see posts thrre, can like posts, just can’t comment at the moment.

looks like it probably is one of those scenarios! hmm

Testing cause it looks like my server (lemmy.world) is having issues. seeing if maybe it’s specific to piefed or the wetshaving piefed server

It sure is!

As I just don’t feel like creating a piefed account if I don’t have to, I ought to be able to comment over there with this account right?

Took a bit of effort getting my account to “see” the piefed wetshaving community but eventually I got it to.

After a long mild spell here we had a pretty big snow, so I decided to get out some more of my winter themed stuff again.

Went with Vespers today because it’s been very warm here in Minneapolis! So I wanted to use it once more while there’s still some snow and feels a bit wintry.

Pretty much the same as yesterday except the fragrance. Sherlock is nice. I think I should use it more! When I first spray it it’s a bit strong and certain notes stand out too much but once it’s on its well balanced.

How is Abbate y La Mantia? I’m thinking about getting a hard shaving soap like theirs or SV next time I make a purchase.

Although the weather is getting milder here, I felt like I needed a warm scent today and Autumn Ash sure fits that bill. My soap is nothing but a memory now but I have about 2/3 of the frag left.

The Gillette Tech is very efficient compared to how mild it feels in the skin. I like that for a nice slow methodical shave so I tend to use it a fair amount in the weekends. The GEMs are my weekday warriors and all purpose favorites.

@pi_dash_rho@wetshav.ing used Gunpowder Spice yesterday which inspired me to use my Black River soap and frag today, which also has a gunpowder note but with a rose, floral base. It’s very unique. I have some popular mainstream frags too which some of which I enjoy very much, and some mainstream dupes, but I like that when I wear a nice, original scent from a wetshaving artisan I know no one else I come across is likely going to be wearing the same thing. I like to hope I’ll make a unique impression.

Gunpowder Spice sounds interesting! I have some Dr. Jon’s Black River soap and EDT which is floral and gunpowder and I quite like it.
