King Arthur has great videos on shaping. Here's a short one on how to form a sandwich loaf. You can see that there are several internal folds which create structure, and the folding and sealing creates tension on the outer layer which traps gas inside the loaf as it rises and later cooks. Good luck!
The crumb looks a little dense to me. I'm guessing due to shaping issues. Did you do this freeform or did you use a loaf pan? Loaf pan is generally preferable for beginners because the pan provides a lot of support. With freeform loaves if it's not shaped correctly it will often collapse. Generally when you're shaping you want two things: internal structure, and a tightly stretched skin over the top. I think a lot of beginner recipes don't teach this very well, since I often see first loaves that look like they were assembled into a shape but not really using proper techniques.
Definitely a possibility, especially since reddit replaced a lot of mods after the protests. Reddit does distinguish between "removed" and "removed by reddit" these days but I don't think everyone knows the difference.
They seem inconsistent about it, because one can easily find posts about lemmy on reddit. But people have periodically reported this. It is possible that lemmy posts are triggering their generic spam filters.
Seems like you're ranking stuff low that's built for different use cases. Like one of those is explicitly for making toast over a campfire, which is really handy if you're camping.
Does bruh express empathy? I've always read bruh as "bruh what are you doing" in a lot of contexts. But I can't really say it's something I use much.
