Bislet Kebab is generally considered to be past its prime - I'm not sure I'd recommend it.

I'm usually happy with Mediterranean Grill in Torggata for my late night kebab needs, but it's a competitive scene and they are probably not the best any more. I've heard good things about King Falafel in Brugata lately.

Oslo is great for swimming. Sørenga by the Munch museum is really nice, and a swim next to the Opera can also make for a really nice experience. Bygdøy has great swimming spots a bit outside of the city, and this is also where you will find the viking ship museum. For a swim in the river, there's a great spot around Nydalen. The lakes (like Sognsvann) are a bit more outside the city and can be colder, but going up there and sleeping in a hammock by the water can be a great way to combine a nice experience with saving money on hotels. If it's cold, check out Oslo Badstueforening for really affordable floating saunas.

I guess in general what to do depends a lot on your interests. If you just want to walk around in the city a bit, Grünerløkka is known to be one of the nicer neighbourhoods.

I left a while ago, and since then both the Munch museum and the National Gallery have moved locations. People say both are pretty great, so if you're into art they're probably worth checking out. Astrup Fernley is more geared towards contemporary art, which is good if you enjoy the whole "is this art" debate and all that jazz.

James Bond, brought to us by stereotypical Bond villain Jeff Bezos.

No thanks.

That's amazing - thank you!!

Thanks - that's a super useful check list. I think I'll get some porous stones and re-pot. I'll also move it away from the window to a place with more indirect light, and try to collect some rainwater. :)

My watering schedule is a bit messy, I usually just feel the soil and water when it feels dry. I thought first it was underwatering, but then after cutting off leaves that all came out badly (and only growing worse) to let it re-grow we were being more careful to water it, and still they come out the same way.

The plant has been in this climate for over a year now, but this has been a problem only the last few months or so. So it seems to me to be something more going on than just the watering schedule - in the past under-watering would lead to old leaves dropping, but new leaves would mostly be fine.

This could very well be - I think it wouldn't be the first time plants respond poorly to the water here. And it seems to always be starting at the tips very specifically. I'll see if I can find some way to collect rainwater - thank you! Will probably do all my plants good to be honest.

It's been repotted fairly recently, and the problems seem to have started shortly after really. Maybe it needs to get used to the new pot, but all the new leaves start looking bad after a little while at this point, and the part of the plant that's already grown seems to be gradually getting marks and looking worse.

Thanks for the advice on watering - I'll be more hesitant going forwards! Could very well be that I have been over-watering it, in the past I got the impression that I could do nothing wrong with it.

A few months ago - during winter, so it's possible that I over-watered it as it's a very different (colder and darker) climate from what I've kept the plant in before.

If it's root rot, I should just repot it and clip off any bad looking roots in the process?

The fact that they came back looking bad again makes me wonder if this might be the case. It didn't use to respond to under-watering like this in the past (older leaves would die), and I don't think I have been over-watering it lately either.

Then again it seems battery life is a lot better this time around, so this should ideally be less necessary.

Yeah, I don't think a lot of people are going to miss this instance, but it seems fundamentally different from lemmit.online and I don't think it should be defederated on the same basis. More in the spirit of making sure rules are somewhat universally applied than its practical implications. And who knows, maybe a huge Lululemon fan (?) is going to sign up to Lemmy.ca some day in the future - the fact that it does not have a lot of active users as of today seems as an arbitrary reason for defederation imho. :)

Somewhat off topic, I kinda love that Lululemon is one of the first fandoms to spin up their own instance. I would have expected Star Wars and Nintendo fans to create their own instance before fans of (or the company behind?) some seemingly random clothes company.

So this is an entire Lemmy instance dedicated exclusively to one specific brand of clothing, including a mirror of the associated Reddit community?

I guess it's nice that more normal/consumerist hobbies are also making their way here, not just programming and Star Trek.

I'm not sure the comparison to lemmit.online is fair. On lululemmy, only !redditmirror@lululemmy.com is a Reddit mirror. There's also !lululemon@lululemmy.com, though that community has no posts so far, and also a meta community.

Lululemmy appears to me to be more comparable to 50501.chat, which hosts one Reddit mirror (!mirror@50501.chat) but also a bunch of original communities. Blocking the individual mirrored communities seems to be a better option than defederating the entire instance in cases like these.

On PieFed, bot posts are hidden by default, so the only content I see in !mirror@50501.chat is whatever is posted there by humans. If Lemmy supports hiding bot posts I guess that's another potential solution here.
