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.

Photographs by Rachel Adams reveal a new generation of Morris dancers - Lemmy.World

While living in Southampton and working at a local newspaper, photographer Rachel Adams, to her delight, discovered a new generation of Morris dancers performing at pubs, events and festivals. The fresh choreographed figures jumping up and down to music, clad in costumes covered in bells, and waving handkerchiefs and bashing sticks sparked her curiosity. She wanted to know more about what these young people found so intriguing about this English folk tradition, which usually has a bad reputation.

I don’t think I’ve come across that before, but I’d say it depends on what is meant:

  • I don’t know what that thing is.
  • There is a thing, but I don’t know what it is.
  • There is a thing such that I don’t know what it is. I.e., I do not know what all things are.

There may well be some other ones, but I don’t know what they might be.

My example did make it to lemm.ee. 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 it simply correlates 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 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.
