- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

Anywhere I can go that's at walking distance (do errands, go to appointments, expo, friends,...) and, like I said, to nowhere in particular just for the enjoyment of going out and walk, wandering in the city (or wherever I happen to be when I'm not home).
It's also a great way to get surprised and to discover places and meet people you probably would not otherwise ;)
The funny thing is that a few years ago I was chronically (and severely) ill, like in a real real bad shape and I was also severely obese. No exaggerating, I could barely walk a few steps outside of my home without needing the entire day to rest. I decided I had enough of that shit and started to walk daily. I started slow (not much choice here) walking a few steps, but I did it everyday, without worrying about the shame of being frowned upon by people, then I started doing it twice a day, then even more. And I gently started walking for longer sessions too. Nowadays, if I'm still chronically ill (and that won't get away) I lost a shit ton of weight and I feel so much better despite that illness. And I will feel bad, if I don't go out at least for a little walk ;)
