    I don’t mean the culture. Is that what you mean? I meant the software. The software itself is a clone of Reddit. It works nearly identically, except that it’s a federation of servers.

    That why I said it’s a clone of reddit, and that why I replied how I did, because I thought it was silly that you would say otherwise.

    As for the culture, I hope it never becomes reddit, but it seems like it’s too late. It seems I have to block some new shitposting community every day.

    But I mostly spend my time in niche communities of nice people talking about Zelda or cats, and not about whether Lemmy is a reddit clone or not because that’s a really stupid conversation to have.

    BTW, I think your reply was more rude than me saying “you kid yourself”, but whatever. I didn’t actually mean to hurt your feelings.

    It absolutely will help. It doesn’t need to be anything fancy. Any blanket that would keep you warm in bed will work, even better than blackout curtains since a blanket will have a good R-value.

    Blackout curtains like others have recommended are not great insulators. They simply have an opaque, rubbery, white backside to reflect and block sunlight. The will block currents of warm air from moving between the rooms, but a blanket does that, too, and provides a higher R-value.

    I live in an RV van and had blackout curtains between the front and back of the van for years before I decided to also add a quilt, and it made a huge difference in keeping the back warm in winter, and keeping the sun-caused heat out of the back in summer.

    When I lived in an apartment I used to have a blanket between the kitchen and living room. The living room had an AC unit, and the kitchen had… an oven. The difference the blanket made was astronomical!
