It's too bad I don't have a note about you, because I feel like that would make this more contentious but probably interesting.

If I were going to make one about you, and you were as honest as you think you can be, what do you think it would say? I haven't looked at your post history and I don't remember your username from elsewhere (sorry), so I'm genuinely curious how you'll choose to represent yourself.

As is that guy with the glasses.

I can't comment on your particular client, but I suspect most of them should support it in some form.

It looks like Thunder is available for Android and iOS. I dont really use it but I do have it installed, so I took a look. It has a "user label" function that looks pretty similar and is added through the same basic process.

Note that I am very much not an expert on Lemmy and even less so on anything Apple, but I bet a way can be found! And if not you always have the option of submitting a feature request to the developer of whatever app you do use.

Good luck!

I've never been so proud of a title!

It's great that you got it working; hopefully it serves you well. I've primarily used it to mark people who aren't worth an argument to me ("argues in bad faith") and people with whom it's extra worth engaging ("seems clever, " "shares a fandom," in a few rare cases just their first name to make it stand out if it's a friend but I didn't notice the username).

Tbh I've only got, like ... Five user notes.

edit: One more now!

Note for user "zurchpet" that teases about the content of their note on me

This seems like it would be more impressive if he had also erased his name elsewhere.

Hey, just be happy you're not in ICQ.

I don't know where this building is located, but in the USA, "ground floor" and "first floor" are oft used interchangeably to mean what I'm guessing you would call the ground floor.

As for what they are, the green text in my screenshot.

How depends on how you access Lemmy. In my client, Connect, I expand a comment, tap the three dots to the right of it, and click "add user note."

That guy doesn't look like the dinosaur guy. Not yet, anyway.

I don't know that I have one now, but when I was a kid I liked "minimizing" because it was a pleasant pattern to type.

Both excellent points!

 

Later in the day, the water flow collapsed the culvert under 50% of my driveway and made a pretty cool waterfall. Fortunately it turns out the town is responsible for repairs! Culvert destroyed and subsequent small waterfall

 

They almost blend together.

 
 
 

Pretty much the title. It's really weird to scratch my chin and not run my fingers through hair. As a plus, my five year old keeps telling me "you look like a completely different person. But I still know you're my daddy!"

 

Newbie was a rescue from a dog fighting house. According to the shelter from which we got her, they couldn't get her to fight, so they used her for breeding. For her entire life with us, she had scars from where they tied her down for breeding... But despite coming from the most abusive background imaginable, she was the absolute sweetest dog. She was in my life for about a decade and, other than in her sleep, I never once heard her make an aggressive sound.

Unfortunately, she died a few years ago from a failing pancreas. She's the only dog I ever had to choose to let die. I wish she were still here.

edit: She was really stinky, though.

Them: Knock knock!
Me: Who's there?
Them: Boo!
Me: Boo who?
Them: Boo! I'm a ghost!

 

A while ago, Maze hurt her ear. Since then we've been giving her all kinds of medication. Obviously things aren't pristine, but she's doing way better and her wheezing has nearly disappeared!

 
 

My wife pronounces it three different ways, each of which she can support. I pronounce it one, but other than that it's the way I've heard it I can't support my pronunciation even after some searches. What's yours and why?

 

Last week, I made a post about a demon in my backyard at 4am.

For anyone curious, this is how it disguises its form during daylight. Pretty convincing and a lot less unsettling.

 

Jokes aside, I remember the PoM song being titled "She Fucking Hates Me," but according to Wikipedia it wasn't part of the title, just the lyrics.

I guess it actually was more mild than I remembered.

edit: Add a word.
