I really miss my community there 🥲It feels like breaking up with a shitty boyfriend, but his grandma was really nice to you.

I've been doing my links like: [/c/cockatiel](https://lemmy.world/c/cockatiel) No idea if it works or not.

There's a community here for parrots and one for cockatiels specifically! I've added a link to Backyard Chickens to the sidebar of the parrots community. 🙂

A lot of the psittacine medical knowledge base is actually from poultry research. They’re surprisingly similar anatomically!

One big difference is that hens lay eggs every day, that still blows my mind. A parrot risks death if they lay more than twice a year because they can’t recover enough dietary calcium quickly enough.

I have parrots which are the same as chickens but more manipulative. Subscribing.

Memmy’s been giving me issues with repeat comments today too.

My life is “Murphy’s Law: the Movie”. Every time I try to reassure myself by saying “well, at least it can’t possibly get any worse than this”, it gets worse. There’s no way that there isn’t some asshole running a simulation where they just fuck with me.

I’ve made a LOT of comments on Reddit and every so often I end up searching my own comments to copy and paste a response to a similar question. I 100% intend on continuing this practice on Lemmy, assuming my niche community ever takes off.

Communities should be called slices! Lemmings don’t often congregate in groups, but when they do, it’s called a “slice”! It’s not at all dependent on the “sub” nomenclature from Reddit, it’s our own thing!

I use SD to make character portraits for TTRPGs online and I’ve had decent luck fixing images with Photoshop (Beta) generative fill. It’s good at some things, like replacing one eye so that it better matches the other. It’s okay at noses. It’s very bad at mouths. It’s good at removing backgrounds or replacing something with background. Extending images is 50-50 but it can be nice for getting a character centred in frame, or for filling in the top of their head if it was cut off. It’s also pretty good at blending two images- for example, I often have a good full body image with a really weird face; it makes it a lot easier to paste a different face on top and blend the edges.

I know this is a paid option for what you’re asking but hopefully it helps.
