      That was harder than I would have expected! Most pictures of them not perched in trees sitting on their legs have them with leather straps for handling covering the rufous part. All of the ones of them not covered in leather seem to be stock photos, so I don’t know how those guys gets all the bare legs and the nature sites don’t have them, but hey…

      Rufous just means reddish/brown, so not necessarily extra superb, just a specific color. I like them though!

          Good, I’m glad you saw that! I feel like not a lot of people go back to the earlier posts. I’m happy owl of your needs have been fulfilled!

            Definitely. I try to interact with all posts, but—and maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but I think the Reddit post-forwarding bots are a bad idea. Like, they need to be rewritten to only repost posts that have a certain karma score or something. My feed is just flooded with endless empty reposts from those bots.

              I’m not a fan of the post bots either. First, off it wanted Reddit, I’d be on Reddit. Second, I feel if they’re obvious reposts, nobody will interact with them and like you said, it just ends up being annoying.

              I’m using Liftoff right now for Lemmy, and that has an option you can tick to not show posts from bot profiles .

                Oh interesting. I have so many lemmy apps but I just find myself sticking to Memmy. Wasn’t there some controversy with the app when it launched?

                  Not that I’m aware of, but there seemed to be many small controversies around the beginning of the migration. I just picked Liftoff because I thought it might be a clone of Boost for Reddit. It wasn’t, but I felt it did have a similar enough feel that I’ve stuck with it.
