It's been repotted fairly recently, and the problems seem to have started shortly after really. Maybe it needs to get used to the new pot, but all the new leaves start looking bad after a little while at this point, and the part of the plant that's already grown seems to be gradually getting marks and looking worse.

Thanks for the advice on watering - I'll be more hesitant going forwards! Could very well be that I have been over-watering it, in the past I got the impression that I could do nothing wrong with it.

A few months ago - during winter, so it's possible that I over-watered it as it's a very different (colder and darker) climate from what I've kept the plant in before.

If it's root rot, I should just repot it and clip off any bad looking roots in the process?

The fact that they came back looking bad again makes me wonder if this might be the case. It didn't use to respond to under-watering like this in the past (older leaves would die), and I don't think I have been over-watering it lately either.

Then again it seems battery life is a lot better this time around, so this should ideally be less necessary.

Yeah, I don't think a lot of people are going to miss this instance, but it seems fundamentally different from lemmit.online and I don't think it should be defederated on the same basis. More in the spirit of making sure rules are somewhat universally applied than its practical implications. And who knows, maybe a huge Lululemon fan (?) is going to sign up to Lemmy.ca some day in the future - the fact that it does not have a lot of active users as of today seems as an arbitrary reason for defederation imho. :)

Somewhat off topic, I kinda love that Lululemon is one of the first fandoms to spin up their own instance. I would have expected Star Wars and Nintendo fans to create their own instance before fans of (or the company behind?) some seemingly random clothes company.

So this is an entire Lemmy instance dedicated exclusively to one specific brand of clothing, including a mirror of the associated Reddit community?

I guess it's nice that more normal/consumerist hobbies are also making their way here, not just programming and Star Trek.

I'm not sure the comparison to lemmit.online is fair. On lululemmy, only !redditmirror@lululemmy.com is a Reddit mirror. There's also !lululemon@lululemmy.com, though that community has no posts so far, and also a meta community.

Lululemmy appears to me to be more comparable to 50501.chat, which hosts one Reddit mirror (!mirror@50501.chat) but also a bunch of original communities. Blocking the individual mirrored communities seems to be a better option than defederating the entire instance in cases like these.

On PieFed, bot posts are hidden by default, so the only content I see in !mirror@50501.chat is whatever is posted there by humans. If Lemmy supports hiding bot posts I guess that's another potential solution here.

Yeah, I'm honestly happy about local translations, and I was still supporting Mozilla when it was rolled out. There's just been too much bullshit since.

[–] cabbage@piefed.social 14 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

So they don't intend on making a profit from it from data gathering, nobody asked for it, and the open source community who would otherwise donate or contributes to Mozilla are so disgusted by the whole thing tgat they are now just holding their noses and waiting for an alternative.

All of this while Google is stepping down as sugar daddy and they need all the help they can get.

Why the hell are they doing this? Is it just a case of moronic leadership and getting stuck in a negative spiral where the whole operation gets stupider and stupider with each new hire?

"Creators led this revolution"

The same way cows lead a slaughterhouse.

There's always a time between signing the law and the entry into force. It's hard to imagine actors being ready to comply on day one after a new law is passed if they had no time to prepare.

Of course. The mere intention of anyone having them is reason enough to bomb the shit out of them and justify it as self defence. Apparently.

Also they are so negative all the time!

Political defined as:

Pictures containing a politician from any country

Which is a prettyanageable definition. It's a cliche that everything is political, but it's also somewhat true. Banning pictures from protests would be a weird move IMHO.
