I finally managed to see a Little Ringed Plover (Flussregenpfeifer, lit. “River Rain Whistler) from up close! They’re so tiny and adorable, I love them! :-)

Got really discouraged because I barely saw anything in the nature reserve today but he really brightened my day. Thank you Plover!

Ich folge Laszlo auf Mastodon und Pixelfed tatsächlich bereits :-) Einen Pixelfed-Account habe ich nicht, ich bin aber auf Mastodon und betreibe meine eigene Instanz für Vogelliebhaber und poste dort auch meine Fotos.

Morgens rausgehen und Vögel beobachten und fotografieren! Heute auch wieder gut vier Stunden unterwegs gewesen.

Went for a walk and managed to take a photo of a bird I hadn’t been able to photograph yet: A Spotted Flycatcher!

Its German name, Grauschnäpper, translates to “Grey Snatcher” — probably because it likes snatching flies and other insects!

Ich habe schon darauf gewartet. Auch bei Mastodon passiert das gerne. Da werden dann komplette Instanzen (vor allem die großen wie mastodon.social) einfach komplett blockiert. Da werden sicherlich jetzt einige Benutzer von Lemmy abspringen - verständlicherweise, wie ich finde. Ich selbst bin ja auch auf Beehaw und folgen vielen Communities auf lemmy.world. Ich habe sogar selbst eine eigene Community dort erstellt! Vielleicht erstelle ich mir dann noch noch einen Account hier auf feddit.de.

Managed to get a decent recording of the Common Firecrest I heard today and it was a lot of fun! I mostly do bird photography, but I want to start recording birds' songs and calls with something that has better audio quality than my iPhone.

Basically: Does anyone know of a good and not outlandishly (≤ €200) expensive audio recorder you can use? Preferably one that also has microphones that can deal with wind noise.

I always take a walk around my office during lunch. Finally managed to see and also record a firecrest. Such a tiny but cool-looking bird!

Seeing a glowing (b)orb in the trees is always a delight! So here's a male Eurasian Bullfinch (Gimpel / Dompfaff in Germany) after just having preened, his feathers still slightly fluffed up.

He was sitting in a tree really far away, but spotting him was simple — so colourful! Saw him on the weekend in North-Western Germany.

salvaging gear will give you mats you’ll really want later in the game. You’ll probably have enough gold and can skip selling

I've been salvaging everything that I don't need and have been wondering - what does that even do? What do I do with the stuff I get from salvaging? Wouldn't it be better to just sell everything?

For that to happen, I believe that interacting with people from other instances and moving your community and account from one instance to another have to become possible / easier.

At present, people flock to the instances with most users as those often have more local content (local content is generally easier to find than federated content) and they often have a smaller risk of shutting down. If I create a community on a smaller instance, the chance of it being found and interacted with are also much smaller than if it had been created on a bigger instance (because of, as I said, local content being user to find).

Sure, I can create an account on myfirstlemmyinstance.com (example URL, not an actual instance) with 10 users, but if my instance decides to shut down, my community of, say, 500 users will now have to move somewhere else and all old content will be deleted.

Ideally, I think no one instance should have a million users to begin with.

Ich vermisse den Sommer nie. Herbst ist eh am besten.
