slrpnk.net already has its own XMPP chat option where one's Lemmy username (e.g. user@slrpnk.net) is one's XMPP address, and I imagine that other instances could do something similar if they wanted. XMPP is federated, so it doesn't require any Lemmy-side coding for the federation aspect. For instance-wide chat (visible to all users of the instance), an implementation in XMPP would probably be easier as well, perhaps using some form of the group chat functionality. What does your proposal offer that cannot be done using XMPP?

How dark do they usually get when they're ripe? At what stage do the birds usually get them?
!fruit@slrpnk.net welcomes you.
The !climate_lm@slrpnk.net yes, and I'll wait a while before posting again. !fruit@slrpnk.net is currently promoted in the monthly SLRPNK update post, so I'll wait until next month to promote it elsewhere.
!fruit@slrpnk.net is showing slow but steady subscriber growth. Would be great if others would start posting to it though.
Not "my" community, but !climate_lm@slrpnk.net is more or less the same. Slow subscriber growth, and still not many people posting.
As poVoq suggested, start a tree nursery and plant trees around. Also grow your own food. These two things can be the same thing.
The findings challenge a longstanding assumption about conservation: that in order to protect biodiversity, people must be kept out.
This isn't unique to indigenous cultures. If there is no one living on the land and stewarding it, of course someone is more likely to come along and deforest it, regardless of what some paper in some government office says about its "protected" status. But if there is someone living there and actually protecting the land, then any would-be deforesters face resistance and are more likely to go elsewhere to find easier targets. The key is that the people who live on the land need to protect the forest, and the people who would protect the forest need to live on the land.
By the end of this century, ocean waters could be 150% more acidic than they were before the industrial era.
Most people think of acidity in terms of pH. The above statistic corresponds to a decrease of 0.4 on the pH scale. But if most people were to read that the pH would decrease by 0.4, they wouldn't know what it really meant. If Albert A. Bartlett was correct that the greatest shortcoming of the human race is their inability to understand the exponential function, then an inability to understand the logarithmic scale follows naturally from that.
Don't think that I've ever tried that one. How would you describe it? I've tried another coffee, probably C. arabica, and it was okay, but not really a practical food source at all.
