Not a problem if you're using a teapot, or for a mug you can use a spoon or just your fingers

Just get rid of the label altogether. I'm always suspicious when a teabag has a string on it.

If you haven't done so already, have a 2 minute read up on how federation and the fediverse works. It sounds a bit complex to start with but it's basically just a bunch of servers that all talk to each other (like how if you're on gmail you can send an email to someone on outlook even though it's a different server).

As for feddit.uk, I think it's generally got a pretty good Casual UK sort of feel. You'll find that some instances take things very seriously or have power-tripping mods, this one seems to generally be pretty chill!

The main different compared to reddit is that it's much smaller here. Don't expect an active community for every niche interest, and don't expect thousands of new posts every day. Due to how federation works you might need to use external tools to find stuff, for instance lemmyverse search to find few communities.

Ultimately it is what you make of it. Find the stuff you like, ignore the stuff you don't, and post the stuff you want to see more of!

A report from the council said the statue would “commemorate a well-loved resident”, adding there were no objections from Heslington Parish Council or the Yorkshire Gardens Trust.

Honestly how often do you hear this, everyone just on board with a silly but but heartfelt statue. RIP Long Boi.

The allowable exception is when the what is a what the fuck, as in you had to use a hack so horrible that it requires an apology comment

"Email address" is the phrase you're looking for!

Did they learn nothing from Nintendo?

Public schoolboys (i.e. the very posh), yes it's weird

Yeah but only poshos call it "soccer" here to distinguish it from "rugger"

Those Phil Mitchell reaction faces are actually great

Commenting the why not is key. Half my comments are explaining why I had to use this hack as a warning that the obvious fix doesn't work!

Exactly! Write your code to be as clear and self-descriptive as possible, and then add a comment if something is still not immediately obvious.
