It looks like jewelry! Maybe JWelry? Or no. Okay I’ll keep working on that one

Hi neighbor. Thanks for the input. This is a community for optimism.

I’ve never seen anything like that. Weird!

Ya for sure it’s a difference. Both are awesome. I’m an east coast Jew, obviously raised in bagels and lox. But now I live on the west coast where Jews are rare and strange. People here don’t know words like “lox” or “shmear”, so sometimes I just call it smoked salmon the way you might call latkes “potato pancakes”.

But now my new brother in law manages a salmon hatchery and gives us jars of smoked salmon he makes and it’s so unbelievably good. Is lox cured instead of smoked? Idk. Both great. It’s splitting hairs really, isn’t it? Salmon is so good!

Many people call it lox. You can too!

Lox still means smoked salmon. It may not be a word you use but many people do.

Yes that’s how languages evolve. It’s interesting, isn’t it?

Okay right on. Thanks Scrubbles. Do you have any reccommendations for Mastodon?

I see that I can follow them on Mastodon, but it seems like all their posts are just meta announcements vs curated links. Should I be following their individual editors instead? I want to love Mastodon but I just can’t figure out how to find good content there !

It’s seriously so hard. I think I’ve never made it past the second scene

That’s a great tip. thank you

I’ve been trying to find my way on Mastodon with little success. Can anyone recommend ways to find or follow ? Also, I see that I can follow Lemmy/ Kbin sites on MAstodon but I can only see the title text. No images or comments come over.
