Love seeing older ladies in here! Mine isn’t this old yet but love my lady cat as she starts to get a little older and wiser.

I don’t mind memes and stuff like that at all. I would agree with @[email protected], once the memes and stuff get out of hand it can start to drown out useful conversation.

I say post and let people decide what they want to see. If we see some backlash then we can start to reign things in or modify as needed. “Meme Mondays” or something of the sort is a good, contained way to still have them be present.

Love it! Even though I am not from there they play a big influence in the midwest area, and are one of the nicer areas for camping I have found so I go there often.

Would love to see input on info from the area from locals so hopefully they also join.

This is in relation to the Chicago /c/? If so, may still be posting some things that can be seen as political but mostly to keep people informed.

An example would be something like the Chuy Garcia post of mine, since the FTX scandal was pretty large and it is interesting to know that it is tied back to our city somehow.

But feel free to post any content you would like as well!

Have you reached out to anyone else who runs a Lemmy server and seen if they are also experiencing this?

Do you think it is a bottlekneck or just due to large updates from other servers?

Yo, just some dude who lives in Chicago and likes open source stuff and wanted to move to a reddit alternative. Love all different types of stuff as long as it’s new and interesting.
