I use SDF and I’m happy with it but his second point is that the instance should defederate/not tolerate Nazis, which SDF doesn’t fit the bill

I’m using MX xfce to revive an old laptop that was struggling with Windows 10. I think it looks and feels great considering the performance.

Yeah it’s not that I think they’re above this kind of petty bullshit, but I don’t get why they’d go “fuck this guy in particular”.

That said, even if the guy admitted to running the world’s biggest pirate ring, screw them anyway

and this time i’m not even dual booting.

I’m so close to doing the same thing. We’re at the point where proton compatibility is good enough that most of the games in my library work. And even if a game truly doesn’t work on Linux at all, I just talk myself out of buying it anyway.

I think I pretty much only boot up Windows once every few weeks to keep it updated.

I really like the tiling but I’m getting a bit tired of GNOME.

I feel like a bit of a hypocrite, because I’ll complain about almost every aspect of this game until I’m blue in the face, but I still put like 200+ hours into it. Same for Skyrim actually.

Maybe try sorting by “New.” I’ve got a weird bug right now where old posts vanish if I sort by Active/Hot

I played one of the Moraff games (I think Dungeons of the Unforgiven) and remember it being like an acid trip. In retrospect I probably didn’t have the colors set up right.

God the recommendations based on my shelf are completely worthless. I gave the Fellowship of the Ring five stars and now all my recs are totally clogged up with art books and behind-the-scenes stuff about the movies. Oh yeah, please keep showing me audiobook versions of shit I already read!

I think multi reddits (which are a highly requested feature now) could be used as a decent compromise.

Basically imagine users can group communities together into one mini-feed. This could be used for similar communities across multiple instances, like !music@lemmy.ml and !music@lemmy.world. Call them multi-lemmies or subscription groups or web rings or whatever.

Then, what if moderators could cooperate create their own recommended feeds that users can subscribe to? Maybe even put a link to it next to the “Subscribe” link in the sidebar. If users of both communities are encouraged to sign up for the multi-lemmy, then everybody can see everybody else’s content in one combined feed without having to cross-post.

Posts are still hosted on their home instance, so there’s no extra work for moderators except over agreeing which other communities can join the ring. If a user doesn’t want to see a particular community for whatever reason, they can still subscribe/unsubscribe to specific communities like before. That way we get the best of both federation and similar communities sharing content.

This is probably the biggest issue I have with Lemmy right now. To make matters worse, it’s really easy to miss how the system works. A lot of new users on smaller instances probably think this place is a ghost town because they don’t see many communities in the directory. It’s not ideal to have to use an external tool to find communities, then extra problematic that the actual process is so awkward: manually pasting the address from the external site in the search bar, then you get a “community not found” warning but ignore that, then the community will appear but it’ll grab the old posts and not the comments. Weird.

I can accept that it would be too much if every single instance defaulted to a full local sync of every other community on every other instance, but they should at least show up in a list when searched for, IMO.
