I can relate, Norway here btw (west coast), when I got my kids it was something i wanted to get them into as well in this day and age of touchscreens

For me it was beeing exposed to the "wilds" from a early age from a "wildman" of a uncle :D also that the place I grew up did not offer much besides fotball

Thank you for this =)

With regards to Lemmy I think that may things are really good, but I'm not 100% convinced yet mostly due to how desentralised it is. imho the different "subs" should be what is self hosted and not entire trees, but I'ts probably just to get used to =)
