Spinney is a nice word for a smallish gathering of trees, alongside copse, coppice, etc. I'm not aware of a term for one specifically in an open field, though.

Apart from the hole, that could be chicken on a raft, an old Royal Navy dish.

I haven't tried it myself yet, but you can get yeast improvers , a powdered 'mother yeast' that claims similar results to sourdough.

I have a starter in the fridge that I only use once every two or three weeks, and have not had any mould problems; perhaps you just have to be only a little less lazy to keep a viable one, and feed on that sort of a schedule?

I agree though, that making sourdough bread can be a nuisance time-management-wise until you find some sort of rhythm that suits you.

I think it's a very good idea, and I can't see any obvious disadvantages except, perhaps, the loss of posting and comment history from the currently existing communities.

Maybe also consider merging [email protected] ? That one seems to be quite general too, and posts often become discussions of how to cook the showcased dish (plus I really dislike the name of the community).

Yes, it is a famously polarizing taste, but a small amount in something hefty like a ragout adds umami without adding too much of the marmite flavour. I'm vegetarian, and find it's really handy for adding meatiness to such things.

If you try it and like it, do try marmite spaghetti.

Miso, Marmite, MSG, and Maggi are all good.

Not all at once, though.

I have a Xerox colour laser printer that I'm very happy with: accepts off-brand toner, speaks postscript, good quality printing, no problems at all. I've also been very happy with Brother laser printers in the past.

My example did not make it to lemm.ee either, so it would not have been exclusively a feddit.uk issue.

I would be really handy for finding out what's going wrong if there were some way to track the history of a posting as it propagates across instances, but I'd imagine that would be quite tricky to do. On the other hand, perhaps these cases simply correlate with downtime either at the origin or at the receiving instance?

I'm not the OP, but I have an example from two days ago posting to a community hosted on feddit.uk:

My comment is https://lemmy.world/comment/1718032, which is present for lemmy.world, but not for feddit.uk

I haven't posted any comments since, so I don't know if it's a one-off thing.

Beehaw's defederation of lemmy.world doesn't seem to be involved in this one.
