Defederating in this situation means (to my very limited understanding). Users on lemmy.world can see posts from beehaw.org, they also can interact with the posts/comments. Those interactions just don't show up on beehaw.org, so that they don't have to moderate as much.

Reddit charging a metric ton of cash for their api is more or less if you would have to pay (the creator of lemmy) for each user if you decide to create your own instance (lemmy.world, beehaw.org and whatnot).

There is a post explaining the details here: https://lemmy.world/post/149743

Ah yes, basil got me into the whole plants rabbit hole. Love how easy it is to just get started by buying one pot from the super market and then just living off of it without ever needing to buy a new one.

I always let mine flower at the end of the year, and plant the next generation from seed, so I still have the 'same' basil plant from a couple of years ago when I started.

Edit: My current basil plants still are pretty small, but are looking good and healthy so far:

Approved.

To also contribute a plant myself: My current favorite is Jiaogulan. Even though it isn't really a spice, it is used to make tea (very mild) and they say it has the power to keep you young (not sure how much and if there is anything really to it).

I just noticed that I confused pea with bean. That in the picture is a bean.. My bad.

Anyway: Its a sup species of Vica Faba I don't know the english word for it. It's a bean that you seed in late autumn and can harvest earlier than most beans.

I don't see a picture. :( Maybe it got lost in the fediverse?

Don't try to fight the weat, try to make peace with it. Otherwise you're fighting a loosing war.

Haha I wish I'd be Uncle Iroh!

I found it by browsing the stock of a very good German herbal/medical plant merchant. I got very intrigued by the description and just bought one plant and got to get a second plant from it by propagating via cuttings :D

It adds a light citruy fresh taste to the tea. I personally always mix it with some other tea, because by itself is very mild. I most often drink it with a basic green tea, some ginger and honey.

Thought you guys might enjoy that resource as well. Make sure to also check out the original post.

Oh yes love myself a good mint tea! Though I still have to find my favorite mint variety to make tea.

I tried once. Wasn't going well, because they didn't have enough light. But I think it's still worth a shot, lavender is just great and if it work you've got yourself a nice lavender plant.

To be honest, its the first time for me growing them. So I'll still have that experience. But I heard that you can "just pop them open" when they're ripe. But that maybe also depends on the specific species.

I plan to can them, use them as side dished (just cooked and with some herbs and spices) or in different chilli.

8 dollars? That's crazy. Especially because the plant itself isn't that hard to keep and produces an amount of leafs you will never be able to use all.

Yellow lavender? Huh, never heard of it, gonna look it up, thanks!

How does the hotness level depend on the watering? The less water the hotter the pepper?

Damn, all the shades of green!

And somehow I cannot see the comments to this post on my own hosted instance. Just when I go to the lemmy.ml page of the post I see the comments. Which is weird...

I have the same behavior on some communities but on some not. This post from 2 weeks ago says its a known bug and as long as you have the "Subscribe Pending" button it should count the same as being subscribed.

I own a pressure cooker. Works the same as a pressure canner as far as I know, just isn't as big. It isn't as bad as you think. The first time I also was a bit nervous but it really is worth eating your own canned food.

Yes, pressure cooker and pressure canner work the same. They use high pressure to reach higher temperatures - that higher temperature kills more bacteria.

A pressure canner still might be useful, because most pressure cookers aren't as big as the canners. I only use the cooker because I already had one way before I thought about canning stuff and because here in germany most canning still is done with hot water rather than in steam and therefore pressure canners are harder/more expensive to come by.
