I rarely contribute and the few interactions Ive had on Lemmy have been leagues better than anything on Reddit (or most other social media).

I find most people are here because they want the connection, not to earn internet clout. That seems to push people towards discussion, instead of the white noise I see elsewhere.

Glad it turned out to be a meme and hardware related issue 🤘

Might be a dumb suggestion but have you tried taking a photo with another device of the issue? Borrow a phone or use a laptop webcam and see if you can get it to appear?

My favourite Aussie idiom is “We’re not here to fuck spiders.” Meaning that we are trying to do some work, stop fucking around.
