  • If you enjoy reading, !Books@Lemmy.world is pretty active place to discuss what you’re reading and review it or get recommendations.

    I try to post significant price drops routinely to !ebookdeals@literature.cafe as well. I mostly post ones that I have heard good things about / read myself and really enjoyed and are valid at all 3 big US ebook retailers, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon at the same time or Humble Bundles. There’s no rule against others posting deals they endorse for other regions or other books, I just wanted to avoid it being a firehouse of spammy links and I only shop US Stores.


  • I lived there for 4 years while my wife attended school. U/half_built_pyramids nailed the big parts. It was easy to find areas that felt more like suburbs or urban neighborhoods if that is the vibe you want. Public transportation was pretty bad though that’s true for most of the large Midwestern cities. A lot of great green space and outdoor activity areas. Weather can be pro or con depending on how you feel about heat vs cold.

    Arctic and Mlem for iOS.

    Arctic is my primary, it was the first that I know of to include admin tools, the single developer is super accessible and on top of for resolving bugs and does a good job at supporting markdown both in the editor and the viewer.

    Mlem is my backup if I need to access 2 different spots on the Lemmy-verse. It has a great viewer and interface but is missing a markdown editor.
