Nice one Ikt. Thanks.

Well, it works here!

got it

https://files.ikt.id.au/hbhx8r.webm if you want to make a separate post can link directly to it in the url

This one is just a still image. Could you please see if you can put this one up for people to see? Thanks again.

It was just our Bureau of Meteorology doing the forecast for the whole continent, so it's not an exciting video but see if you can make it work. Thank you. https://www.bom.gov.au/video/severe-weather-update-widespread-severe-heatwave-this-week

yeah which video ? I can try and link it here

@eyekaytee@aussie.zone might know more about posting videos. I've actually never experimented with it on here. Ikt has been experimenting a little these last few weeks. That or @lodion@aussie.zone might be able to help.

Holy! Those are some cooking temperatures. Damn, be safe down there!

I saved a short video from the BoM but it doesn't show here. This has happened in previous posts but I forgot to ask then.

Yes, thank you.

Oh nice, you got it working. :)

Disgusting but I'm not shocked

Thank you, I'll do that later on and let you know.

Hmm, your on web browser aren't you? So can rule out a faulty app function.

Sometimes the server goes down briefly, didn't notice that this morning myself, but i've not been on the whole time. Have you tried logging out, then in again? Might be one of those issues where its just easier to 'turn it off and on again'. I'd maybe close the browser completely as well, just in case its somehow still logged in, in some way.

And definitely restart the post as separate abd new, don't try to keep posting the post that isn't working. Best case scenario it never works, worst case it suddenly works for every single time you've pressed the 'post' icon. That has happened a couple times to me, ended up having to delete like three of the same post.

Lastly, and this ones easy to overlook, there may be a field you haven't filled in properly. For instance, it won't post without a correct title, (some characters, and spacing can't be used in the title fields), the community field needs a correctly linked community in it as well. Stuff like that.

If your still having problems screenshots, reply with them here, and i'll post it in c/meta to get a/lodion, a/nath's, or other more knowledgable users attention and help.

Farmers and government should be working on piping desal water to these farms, not degrading the environment around them for the sake of a few bumper seasons.

I wanted to put up a new post but cannot. The system won't let me. I don't understand why unless I am being blocked.

We must do both and more. Vote Green (I do) even though they haven't been able to get the results we needed to the new national environment laws. 😪
There is Realpolitik and there is what happens on the ground so voting for environmentally responsible parties or individuals is not enough and the flow-on results are slow and sometimes don't happen at all. We need to be politically engaged but also have practical skills we can apply to our besieged wildlife.

This info was put together by Taronga after the devastating Black Summer fires in which surviving wildlife were left with nothing to continue living. I really think to learn what to do to help wildlife in need is as important as knowing first aid to help people survive. I don't think this is weird.

Thanks, nearly needed this a while back.

The injured bird managed to get up and fly away at my approach but if not I would have had to try and get it in a box and straight to a vet

I should have added: "Don't despair. Repair!"

Have to say this is some weird take (not the OP but Taronga) , like a suggestion not to take a plastic bittle of water whike flying across the planet.

Climate chage, pollution, land clearing, urban sprawl, introduced feral speciles like cats and dogs etc are decimating local animal populations and we Australian's jave the deserved honour of sending more species extinct then any other nation on earth :(

Every time i cycle, i ride past dead wombats, quolls, possums, wallabies etc strewn along the roads. The land all around me is cleared for cattle (dariy and beef) and what's ledt ober is then cleared for forestry which is really just a green desert, devoid of most life. All this gives native wildlife so little chance to be resilient.

I'd suggest the best advice for animal lovers is to vote Green to try and halt the ecological genocide, rather then chop up zucchini for the few left.

Surprised to see capsicum in there, i'd have thought that was too peppery.

I know chickens are immune to the capsaicin (the peppery shit in chillis etc) so possibly all birds are?

Am not an expert :)

Oh cool. I thought all solarpunkers had that communistic part, must just be a section of the movement. I think i read that communistic part on a random solarpunk community awhile back, it surprised me when i read it, and kind of ruined it for me when they were so dogmatic about that element. Must've just been that community I's on. The idealism of solarpunk is very refreshing.

magical mystery tour Its so much this.

Yeah sorry, i did go on, and yet i left a lot out! I find the comparative associations you can draw between decentralised and centralised platforms endlessy interesting, from gripes about targeted ads, or endless ai slop, to turning here with no ads but then endless debates over lemmy's notorious tankie element. Its different, feels more alive even though is slower moving.

If you have any questions feel free to ask, or chuck it up on https://aussie.zone/c/meta people here are almost to a tee very helpful. Even the ones i've disagreed with have a good and generous streak.

I had a look at solarpunk. It's not communistic at all. In fact, the moderator rejects communism. I like its idealism. It has the feeling of youth. It's a bit too art college for me but hey I'm of a different generation and I'm more plainspoken. Thank you for letting me now about it. I feel like I'm going on a magical mystery tour discovering this alternative social media.

Thank you for the extended response. Bit by bit I'll learn about this new space (to me).

So, its still lemmy, its just another server with a niche interest area.

To explain, just in case you've not read about it. And this has got long, sorry.

Lemmy isn't a single platform, its a linked network of platforms run by different people. It uses the activitypub protocol to enable communication between these servers.

Aussie zone, our server is for Australians and friends of, for an Australian perspective on topics. A good example is c/overseas news, its ostensibly a world news community, like many others on lemmy, but with a focus on the Australian perspective.

https://slrpnk.net/, is the same type of server as Aussie Zone, but instead of the niche interest being Australia, it's niche is the positive-green-communistic approach of Solarpunk.

As far as I know solarpunk is fully public facing, like Aussie Zone. So we can see and participate in all their communities, and discussions, and likewise they can see and participate in all ours.

For ease of use the app sync actually allows you to visit the specific servers and look through all their communities, unfortunately the app developer hasn't updated in a long time, so its less popular than it was during the Re-xodus. Otherwise you can go to the url in this message, and look for the list of communities from there.
