I got back into brewing kombucha lately and it’s been really satisfying. Some of my favorite flavors I’ve done recently include: green tea blueberry lavender, apple cinnamon (like an apple pie), raspberry lemonade, cherry limeade, Ginger lime mule, and I’m looking into making an imitation cola.
I’ve been struck by the same thoughts lately as well, coming from Reddit where I expect hostile attitudes and at times even contributed to it, Lemmy (and to a greater extent, beehaw) is still pretty quiet as far as trolls/haters go, there’s active moderation keeping them at bay when they do show up, and the bulk majority of contributors are friendly and enthusiastic about their topics (rather than the toxic circlejerks of Reddit past.)
I still use Reddit occasionally. A little bit to scratch my news/social topic itch and for the few communities that haven’t migrated here yet.
