  • I haven’t found any mexican restaurants in Belgium. Just none. There is a taqueria where I live but it does not scream authentic at all.

    As a kid I lived in Thailand and there was an excellent restaurant there with super yummy food - think not sure it was authentic.

    Making Mexican food yourself is also tricky as the ingredients (dried chillis) are not easy to find.




  • I am all for this, eating insects is done in many cultures and a healthy source of nutrition. We westerners may see it as something intimidating at first, because we so squirmish about bugs, but I am honestly curious about the taste.

    That being said, I don’t know why we need more nutritious flour. We are not lacking protein in our diets. Even vegans and vegetarians easily hit the minimum protein intake by consuming plant based protein…


  • Yes! You are posting in one…

    Subreddits are called “Communities” on Lemmy. You can “Join” a community (as long as your instance is federated with the instance hosting that community), and it will be like “subscribing” to the community.

    On the right hand side of your “homepage” you will see the communities you are subscribed to under “Subscribed to communities”.

    On said homepage you can also choose to filter content on “Subscribed” / “Local” / “All” which translates to “only the communities I joined” / “only the communities hosted on this instance” / “everyyyything”.

    Hope this helps… Others have likely explained it better than myself.


  • You may not like my answer but here goes: Time will tell.

    Those who have jumped ship indefinitely will build a community here in the Fediverse. Those who miss Reddit too much will return there and use the official app.

    By staying you are building something new. It may not be Reddit, and it may never be Reddit. But there are still millions of users who are here to stay and will become a community.

    I hope it will not become a “they” vs “us” thing. Both platforms can exist peacefully, the same way Facebook and Twitter coexist.

    Perhaps a difference in content style or format will appear in time, which will make people choose one platform over the other. But that’s not bad. Competition is healthy.

    I’m staying, and I’m curious to see where Lemmy is going. All I can do is contribute to making it a place I want to hang out in.
