Lemmy.world seems to have a super short lifetime on whatever cookie they’re using to persist a user session. I feel like sometimes it logs me out after 24 hours. Could we make this default to something more reasonable, or is there maybe a reason behind the short lifetime?

Does federation connect to a single lemmy network, or can there be multiple? - Lemmy.World

When a lemmy instance federates, does it connect to one big lemmy network, or can there be multiple disconnected, yet locally federated instances? What I’d like to know is, can I simply join any Lemmy server and choose “All” to view everything Lemmy has to offer, or is there still hidden content? I understand that some servers are unfederated. I guess I’m curious about the reach of the “All” mode.

[Nodus] Sector Pilot Phantom

[Nodus] Sector Pilot Phantom - Lemmy.world

I celebrated one year at my new job by buying a watch from my wish list. This Nodus watch has great build quality, and I really like the design sense. I’ve always liked dials with bold arabic numerals, and I appreciate how they preserved symmetry by placing the day and date at 6 o clock. Build quality is excellent, with finely brushed surfaces, a fluid bracelet, smooth bezel action. The only thing I’d change is maybe having a count-up bezel instead of count-down, but that’s not a big deal.

I found the brand. These are called Blok Watches, and they are quartz. blokwatches.com

[Bulova] Smallest watch I have ever seen

[Bulova] Smallest watch I have ever seen - Lemmy.world

This is was my grandmother’s wristwatch she got for her 30th birthday. It was built in 1959, and only has hour and minute complications. The fact that we could build machines this small before computers were invented seriously impresses me.

Lots of German Posts - Lemmy.world

I’ve been noticing a lot of German language posts showing up in my feed. Is this because they have left the language as undefined?

[Question] Does anyone know this kid's watch?

[Question] Does anyone know this kid's watch? - Lemmy.world

I wonder if anyone can tell me the brand and model of this kids (I believe automatic) watch I saw the other day? It was brightly colored with a fabric velcro strap, and featured a very unique dial and bezel. The hours and minutes were both labeled with the numbers centered within the spaces between where the indices normally are, making it very easy to learn how to read analog time. I haven’t had much luck googling for it. Ring a bell for anyone?

[Question] Does advancing the date set it to AM?

[Question] Does advancing the date set it to AM? - Lemmy.world

There’s something I’ve always wondered about mechanical watches with a date. Does advancing the date start you of in the “AM” or does it stay in whichever half of the day AM/PM you were already in? I’ve been advancing the date by turning the hands to ensure I know which half of the day it’s set to, but maybe this isn’t necessary? Sorry if my question isn’t worded very well.

Blackberries growing out of concrete - Lemmy.world

It only takes a smidge of Oregon soil for plants to thrive here. This blackberry bush has been growing out of the concrete median for months. It finally made berries!
