    I still like the concept of Beehaw, but I’ve found myself spending less time here. The last month or so, the content seems to be all negative things, so I end up either skipping most of it, it’s not coming on this instance every day. I try sorting Local/Top and Local/New, but I’m just not finding much.

    I’m still mostly single-handedly trying to get !superbowl@lemmy.world to take off as an actual animal education spot and not a meme sub. I’ve been writing better and longer articles and showcasing rescues in each state. So there biggest chunk of effort I put into Lemmy is spent there, and I used to come over hear to actual browse content, but World and Beehaw seem to have reach equilibrium on the quality vs attitude, but World seems to have significantly more quantity.

    I feel bad you guys can’t see my posts because of the defederation, and I’m not sure how that’s progressing since I don’t much follow the tech of Lemmy itself. But it Beehaw keeps on it’s current path or goes non-Lemmy, in but going to do 2 things, and I’d just stick to trying to make Lemmy better.

      Am certain I saw one of your superbowl posts earlier in the week. Can remember thinking it was a nice coincidence as I’d heard owl calls outside my place just a few hours before.

        I reposted one of my posts to !environment@beehaw.org about British Columbia refusing emergency action to save the last wild Spotted Owl left in Canada, so it may have been that. I usually just post fun and educational things, but I thought that was an important bit of news a broader range of environmentalists should be aware of.

        I try to post one or 2 things a day on Superb Owl to give people something positive to look forward to each morning. I also try to find places you can actually go to visit owls and other raptors in person to get the full experience of these amazing creatures.

        As Lemmy evolves, I hope things get to the point we can refederate with more instances so we have finer control in cross promoting positive and inspiring communities.

        If you have an alt besides Beehaw though, come check it out. I wrote a long posts about owl feet with lots of pictures and info that got over 600 upvotes. I’m researching to write the next one about the different types of feathers and what they do.
