Like winamp skins for lemmy?
I am a big fan of content-specific instances. Some instances off the top of my head that fit this description:
…and I am sure there are many others. I just think that having a focus like that provides a more interesting local instance environment than a large, generalist instance, though both have a place.

By self-promotion, do you mean creating content for youtube/a blog/etc. and then posting it to lemmy? If so, then I think that is fine within reason. In the communities I mod, I have allow self-promotion with these guidelines:

I own a Prius (not a PHEV though, just a hybrid) and can corroborate that my mileage goes down significantly in the winter months. It is a combination of a couple factors in my experience.

Starting a new community is an uphill slog. Some tips and observations:
Fantastic, thanks! I haven’t made announcements yet about the new community, but hoping to do that some time this week when I get a chance.
I haven’t been able to post as much this past week compared to normal, but things have been going ok:
The not as active ones:
You must have taken Nokotan’s loss pretty hard. /s
Good luck finding new mods and I am hoping that you are able to come back before Dan Da Dan season 2 this summer.
Been a little while since I popped into one of these threads. Some notable events:
