  • Okay I just reread your post, as I missed the bit you mentioned about instances like blahaj hiding the downvotes.

    So a couple of questions for you.

    You mentioned the communities aren’t on the instances that hide downvotes… Are these communities that live on instances that are not federated with for example blahaj.zone?

    And also, you mentioned that instances that are hiding downvotes is also not a solution due to the downvoter and others still being able to see the downvotes. So I ask, why is that an issue for you? Why be worried about fake internet points that aren’t even really tracked here (unlike Reddit for example), that you can’t even see? Actual engagement in discussion between people is far more important no?







  • Not sure if it’s available on F-Droid or not, but I’ve been using Summit lately and absolutely loving it. Blorp was my previous favourite, but I prefer the bit more modern and clean UI of Summit.

    I did try Jerboa about a year ago when I first tried Lemmy, but quickly dropped it due to UI/UX issues I was experiencing at the time, but I would personally just stick with Blorp if it was between them.

    Voyager was another I tried previously. Earlier I tried on my other phone (HMD Skyline) and consistently had performance issues with the app (long load times, occasional crashing, janky scroll). When I got my S25 I thought this would be solved with the more powerful device, and while it was much better than before, I still had performance issues.

    Hope this helps a little!






  • Not too long really. Including shower time in the morning, probs about 45mins to 1hour all up on the longest days. At night, about 30mins. At night I also do a Kerasal treatment on my feet and sleep in cotton socks, I do this whenever I remember to do it lol, so with this as well it takes my night routine to about 45mins, 1hr if I also foot file as well ☺️


  • Yeah AHA scrubs are really good for targeting dead skill cells much deeper than a surface scrub. I incorporate an AHA often into my routine (Alpha-H Liquid Gold with Glycolic Acid).

    Monday morning: Shower, shave legs and arms, QV Intensive Urea Cream on legs and arms, regular QV moisturiser elsewhere.
    Monday night: Rinse particularly legs and arms, Alpha-H on legs and arms.

    Tuesday morning: Shower, Tree Hut Shea Sugar Scrub all over, QV intensive.
    Tuesday night: Rinse, regular moisturiser (I use a Nivea firming lotion for these nights)

    Wednesday morning: Shower, QV Intensive.
    Wednesday night: Rinse, Alpha-H.

    Then this basically repeats 🙂

    So basically, the breakdown of everything mentioned:
    Tree Hut Shea Sugar Scrub - For physically removing surface dead skin cells, immediately smooth, and the scents are soooo gooood (I like Moroccan Rose the best). And little bonus note, imo a bright vanilla coconut scent sitting over the subtle Moroccan Rose from the morning is a really really nice combo 🙂.
    Alpha-H - For dissolving dead cell buildup on a deeper level, and improving overall texture and skin tone, evening everything out.
    QV Intensive Urea Cream - For moisture retention which I have an issue with currently.
    Nivea Firming - Just a nice moisturiser that works really well with my skin.
