It’s always a balance between security and convenience. You have to mitigate what risk you are willing to well…risk

Can you post a picture of the trim on the INSIDE that is likely holding that plastic in place? I would approach this like a door with glass sidelights. (Not a joke or pun, that’s what they are called)

The indentions on the side are for a spanner wrench to tighten this nut onto a threaded rod. The top is a decorative cover.

Ok, good to know. I’m also a new user from the Reddit api BS. Here’s what I know, depending on if you want to see NSFW content or not, find a instance that serves your needs. Be prepared that in the beginning, using the “All” feature, will be the best way to decipher what content you want to see and what you don’t. Block communities you don’t like, subscribe to the ones you do and don’t do either the ones you are on the fence about. Over time, your “Subscribed” filter will be great. It’s a pain in the beginning, but necessary and good since there’s not a algorithm MAKING THESE DECISIONS FOR YOU. I love the fact that I can control what I do see and what I don’t. Switching accounts on Lemmy is very easy to do to keep things organized in case you want an account for NSFW content and one you don’t…you know…for research purposes.

New Lemmy user, new to the fediverse or both?

I know how you feel and thank you for replying.

If this meme was about Lemmy, it would be getting blasted by furry post
