I want my posts to be accesable

If you mean you want to move the entire account to somewhere else as if it started there, you can’t. If you were to create an account on a new instance and imported your old profile data you’d save yourself the time of resubscribing to communities etc but your post history would be brand new again. You can have accounts/alts on multiple instances though and people often do. Some people keep them as backups, some swap accounts multiple times a day for whatever reason.

Using an alternative frontend is different. You login using the same credentials you already have on that instance. All that changes is the UI you’re using, everything on the backend is still the same and you are still the same person to the rest of the Fediverse.

1. Is it that some servers have better UI ?

Some offer multiple frontends so the look changes but the underlying server/content is the same. You can see some examples of them here:

https://voyager.crazypeople.online/
https://alexandrite.crazypeople.online/
https://photon.crazypeople.online/

There are also other platforms like PieFed that interact with Lemmy pretty much seamlessly.

2. How do I migrate?

You don’t necessarily have to migrate, you can just make a new account on any other server and import your profile settings like subscriptions/blocks/etc.

3. Also, is it possible there are isolated federated networks of leemy (other activity protocol)?

Any instance can defederate from any of the others for any reason. While there are probably stand alone instances that don’t federate at all, most of them have chosen blacklist or whitelist federation to wall off the content they don’t want on their servers. Some of them block more aggressively and for different reasons, but there are so many at this point there’s almost certainly one that would be a good fit for you if you aren’t happy where you’re at.

VPN wouldn’t cause it to flag you as a bot, that’s a profile setting you control yourself. @[email protected] detailed how you can change it in comment below.

[email protected] your account is (accidentally?) flagged as a bot so your posts won’t be seen by anyone who has disabled bot posts. You might want to check your account settings.

First of all, I want to make it clear I’m not knocking what people know and love in any way. Regardless of what you use or how you use it, if you love it, I’m genuinely happy for you. That said, I think there can be a huge difference between flower being purchased vs flower being grown for personal use.

Before I started growing I loved trying everything new as the commercial weed market evolved into what it is today. For a long time I basically used it all interchangeably. Nothing on the legal/illegal markets were giving me the type of relief I was looking for so eventually I started growing. After doing that for awhile I started making my own concentrates too. Some of them make sense and are “better” in one way or another to the flower they were created from, but like I said in the first reply I don’t personally think they’re worth it for what you get in the end compared to what you started with most of the time. Nice to change it up here and there or maybe easier to use in a recipe or something, but more of a novelty than anything.

On the commercial side… well I don’t have anything nice to say about them at all lol.

Flower, always.

IMO, processed products can only be as good as the material they start with. Alterations require compromises that I don’t think are worth the trade off in most cases.

Edit: It dawned on me after replying that opinions are going to vary a lot based on how you consume. Almost all of my use is through dry herb vapes with the occasional joint with friends mixed in.

Hell yeah 💚

It makes me irrationally happy to see you posting to weedtime lol 💚

Legality is irrelevant IMO, but if you aren’t comfortable with it I can understand that too.

I wouldn’t say I have a favorite. I think most strains have something to offer but their commercially produced versions are lackluster at best. (This is my opinion not a judgement or an attempt to belittle anyone’s weed or favorite source for it.)

The strains I enjoy most don’t have names that are easy to share with others because they’ve been grown and crossed by me for me and I don’t bother naming them. I keep records of genetic histories and notes about them based on my own experiences, working the ones that offer the types of relief I’m looking for into the regular growing rotation. As a result I almost always have a number of plants growing from breeders all over the world too just to see what else is out there and if there’s something new worth folding into something else I have going.

I’m a firm believer in the entourage effect and I think the more commercialized weed becomes too much gets destroyed and lost in the process. That results in an incomplete picture of what any given strain can be, assuming what you’re getting is actually what they’re selling/labeling it as.

The best thing you can do is take control of the process. Everything else places too much trust on an industry and suppliers that will always prioritize profit over proper cultivation and handling.

You mentioned having plenty of other weed. Why not keep it simple and mix the stuff that’s too strong for your taste with something a little underwhelming or known to be a bit less potent? If the problem is just the THC content then reducing the amount being vaped or mixing it with something else should bring you back down to a more comfortable level.

Whatchu got in that bag man

Gotta do what you gotta do. There are definitely worse options hahaha.

Important to remember that medical professionals have varied experience and opinions depending on their location and personal bias. Not every doctor is the right one for you.

My doctors know what dry herb vaping is lol. Finding a care provider that you can be comfortable and honest with is important! Take care of yourselves! 💚

That instance/server was used for testing PieFed functionality and has been shut down.

Our instance is in the process of relocating so it was a good time to see how things compare. Our members weren’t interested so it was shut down in favor of prioritizing the relocation of the Lemmy instance. At some point I may come back to it.

I laughed super hard at this but some people don’t smoke like a chimney hahaha
