My Hoya bella finally bloomed
  • Just that some hoyas may need more water than you would think, really. I water this one every two days, it never gets dry. If it dries out at all the new leaves look weird and a couple of old ones will drop, as will the peduncles. It's in an airy soil mix, but I am constantly surprised that it isn't dying of root rot, lol.

    Have you tried using an orchid fertilizer to get yours to bloom? The miracle grow spray seems to get them going, I use that once a week (it's very weak) and also use the shultz liquid fertilizer at about half strength every second watering or so, during the growing season.

  • Cheese? Yes or no, and what is your reason for saying so?
  • Yes. Cheese protects against death from any cause.

    The real question is, why aren't you eating more cheese?

  • Introducing Sign-in with Mastodon: Streamlining Sign-up and Login on Pixelfed
  • Off topic, but since this is an post about pixelfed and I can barely find anything about this issue elsewhere: is there any way to get hashtags you're following to actually show up in your feed? All I'm getting is a handful of accounts I'm following, and since they don't have much content, it's a pretty limited experience.

  • He regrets nothing, clearly.

    Way to go, Glenn. Keep living your dreams.

  • What are the bad patterns of Reddit to never repeat on Lemmy?
  • There's nothing more disappointing than clicking into a thread because it looks like it might be interesting or fun, and realising 90% of the comments are the same old, tired jokes, repeated ad infinitum.

  • On The State of /r/PICS: Profanity, Offensive Content, and An Open Letter : r/pics
  • The mods of r/pics are absolute queens and kings. Bravo.

  • Has anyone's dog actually eaten their homework?
  • Yep, my dog tore up an english essay when I was in junior high. I still had my rough draft so just rewrote it, luckily I had time. Told my teacher about it, she thought it was pretty funny.

    Any hoya heads here?

    This one had a learning curve, I'd heard they were thirsty but couldn't believe it needed that much water. After many lost peduncles, I've got one set of flowers opening and another close behind.
