Mod reminder: We do have a rule against brigading. I know this is a special case - but please keep it respectful if you are planning to represent the Fediverse on r/place.

In my opinion, something like "Join Lemmy" is fine, but a giant penis with LEMMY next to it is not as good a look and I'd rather you not coordinate that plan here.

I am going to remove your post because this is not the right place for it, but please do seek advice at /c/mentalhealth@lemmy.world for your concerns.

Understood. I'm just requesting we don't make the Fediverse look bad.

I didn't make the rules. I took over as top moderator yesterday. In general, we don't want you to use this community to plan a brigade in a way that would make the Fediverse look bad. I could reword the rule to include that. It hasn't even been an issue until today. It's the first time I've seen it happening in the comments.

As I've explained elsewhere today, I don't mind if you're using this community to plan a brigade at r/place today that says something like "Join Lemmy" but if you're planning to do something like make a large penis and put "Lemmy" next to it I'd rather you plan that somewhere else. Lemmy.world admins do not want us doing something that makes the Fediverse look bad on Reddit, much less planning it on the site.

Thank you for having a respectful conversation with me even though you don't agree with the rules. I will think about rewording that one to be more specific. Today has been very busy for me because of the r/place threads.

OP has received their answer, and I don't think it would be productive to continue this discussion here, so I am locking the post.

Hi there! Thanks for posting in YSK. It seems at the moment, this post is coming across as less than accurate. Will you do me a favor and update it to include the fact that accreditation is not the same as traditional colleges and the estimated prices that were found in the Wiki? That way it won't get reported and possibly removed.

I was surprised at how many replies I've gotten. I am probably subscribed to both communities already. I should ]probably post there once in a while, too.

The Android community at Lemmy.world welcomes questions of all sorts.

Me, too. I started my online experience using Prodigy chat rooms in the mid 90's, and I've wandered all over the internet from group to group since then. I hope this place stays a little haven free from money hoarding dragons for a while.

Hi there. Hope you're enjoying NSQ. Rule 1 in the sidebar states that every post must have a question in the title. It makes it easier for people to browse the community. Will you edit your post to follow the rue? Thanks for posting!

If we are advertising Lemmy or the Fediverse, we want to do it in a way that shows we are (on the whole) less toxic than the Reddit spaces we left behind. Some Reddit users may see the "fuck Spez" as a glowing endorsement of Lemmy but others who are looking for a place to discuss things in a more civilized way may not. Those who are likely to both seek out and remain on Lemmy.world once they find us are also likely to fall in the second group, so it's best to be careful.

Hi there! Hope you're enjoying our community. Will you please edit the title of your post so that it iincludes a question? It will help your post to get good responses and is our first rule.

Sometimes I feel like we should change the rules in the sidebar to just that.

I'm not sure what the benefits would be there, either. The small form factor may be nice for people who have to carry it in their pocket, but I'm not sure if it would be worth it for me personally. It seems cell phones are always either trending ever larger or smaller, and this particular lineup sort of covers both angles.

Thank you! I have been trying for years to stay on the path to mindfulness, but only recently has it really clicked that even when life is difficult or busy, it's not a chore-it's a relief to go back to my practice.

Lemmy's version of NSQ also prohibits replies that are mean or mocking the OP. We encourage asking any question that doesn't break the rules.

I appreciate it.

Can we cool down the arguing in this thread please? Everyone has had their say and it's time to move on. Thanks!

It can be whatever you need it to be if it is soothing to you. If you let those worries come and acknowledge them instead of trying to hold them back, you care for yourself in the way you need to be cared for. Just keep breathing in an even way and examine the worry. Is it something that needs to be taken care of or no? Make note of it as a "for later me" thing and return to focusing on your breath and the task.

I feel the same. I can see why other people would buy it, but I'm not on a contract so I need the price on the foldables to come down to a reasonable point before I would bite. The upside to that is that while I'm waiting for it to happen, they are also working out the kinks and I can make an informed decision on which model is worth the money I'll have to pay for it.

Hi there. Hope you're enjoying NSQ. Will you please reword your post title so that it asks your question? It's rule 1 in the sidebar. Thanks for posting.

I enjoyed this speaker and the different take on slowing our anxious thoughts down. I'm glad I found it later at night, when I don't have time to fall into a twelve-hour Ted Talk rabbit hole like I usually do when I come across one of these videos. Thanks for posting!

Sometimes you have to change your post sorting option once you click through to the community to see all the posts. I have mine set to "Top Twelve Hours" as the default because I like that for my front page, but once I get into the community I often have to change it to "New" and then I'll see a lot more posts.

I'm so glad you tried it! Now you can take that skill with you on all your walks going forward.

Thank you!

Hi there! Hope you're enjoying your time on NSQ. Will you please edit your post title so that it contains your question? It's rule 1 in the sidebar. Thanks for posting!

I feel like that would depend on the opinion of the "Stephen" in question--or maybe their parents if they are a minor.

Edit: You're welcome.

I'm sure it's different for everyone. For me, it's about recognizing that every day is a gift and I should do what I can to acknowledge the beauty that is around me. My body, my home that shelters me, my family and friends, my city and surrounding state... it's all beautiful and all I have to do is take a few moments throughout each day to take it in while focusing on my breath.

I meditate while walking or cooking most days. I have a system for walking, where I know how many breaths I normally take while walking and breathing at a slow but steady pace. I start on the left foot and breath in, then switch to exhaling always on the right foot at the right amount of steps. It takes some practice but the whole point of it is to get some exercise and take in the scenery while breathing and focusing on your breath in the background of your mind. I live in a cold area, so when I first learned this I even used it as a method to walk around the house and pick things up that need to be put away since I oculdn['t get outside much.

When I'm cooking I enjoy the process and do it like the article I posted, letting my mind wander if it needs to for a few minutes and then bringing it back to my body and breath for a few seconds, and focusing on the food again. Cooking is something I love to do, so it's easy to meditate while focusing on the aromas and the colors and just in the background of my brain making sure my breathing is even.

I agree with you and I feel like I should have taken the time to discuss the post before I removed it. Misinformation is against the sitewide rules so I jumped on it, but you're right. It was a lost opportunity to educate someone.

I hope this helps you understand a bit better. https://mastodon.online/@binoctdechex/110538120775065728

Hi there! I hope you're enjoying NSQ. Will you please rephrase your title so that it is in the form of a question? It's rule 1 in the sidebar. Thanks for posting.

https://lemmy.ca/c/lemmy411 This community seems like what you are looking for, and you can also ask such questions right here if you still need more help.

Personally, if I'm doing something that I find monotonous, I just focus on my breath and my body. You don't have to find joy in the one thing you're doing to meditate while doing it. You can shift the joy to just your breath and your body being a gift to you because you woke up today.

If I feel the need, I also allow my mind to do whatever it feels the need to for a little bit, which is usually planning for something that makes me anxious or thinking about something that happened earlier, then bring my thoughts back to just my breath and my body for a few seconds, and refocus on the thoughts that crept in. It's okay to allow whatever thoughts want to creep up in, and then accept and acknowledge what you want to think about and why.

You can continue doing the dishes and meditate while allowing your mind to focus on the thoughts that wanted to creep in. You don't have to block it all out. Just acknowledge it and make it part of the experience. Once you've acknowledged the other thoughts, you may find you can mix the two together--I'm anxious about this thing coming up, but I also appreciate the warm water running over my hands right now.

Unfortunately I will have to lock this post. There have been multiple reports about comments, and it has nothing to do with the OP. We have plenty of new content to monitor today and I assume new posts will be coming in about the updates to r/place today. I hope OP will start a new post with updated pictures. I wish we had the ability to lock just one thread, but we do not.

No problem. Thanks for fixing it.
