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

When I used Windows I mainly bought on Gog for the DRM-free aspect. Now that I've switched to Linux almost completely, I find Steam's software for running Windows games on Linux to be just about the most seamless and easy to use, compared to other stuff I've tried like Lutris and Heroic Games Launcher.
Growing up, whenever I was sick with an upset stomach, my mom would give me 7up to drink. I dunno, I guess she figured the carbonation would help? Now decades later 7up still reminds me of the taste of vomit.
On my phone I've put the Jerboa icon where the Rif icon used to be and sure enough I now open Lemmy 100 times a day out of pure habit
I'm still learning all this stuff too, so anybody please correct me if I'm wrong here, but to my understanding: They just exist alongside each other. They might locally have the same name but they'd have different URLs with the @[instance] suffix.
In your case, since you're a lemmy.world account, if you wanted to go to "music" communities, you'd navigate to:
basically yeah, maybe it's not as funny as calling them "Xporn" but I don't see why only picture subs need to have juvenile meme names
it's not too bad when it's a silly one-off thing like "foodporn" but by the time we go full Reddit and get to "animal porn" then we've clearly gone too far
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!

Maybe try sorting by "New." I've got a weird bug right now where old posts vanish if I sort by Active/Hot
There was also a bug where some communities would have @instancename even on their home instance, like lemmy.world/c/asklemmy@lemmy.world. It would continue to work on the home instance but break federation with other instances. I don't know if it's still happening on the latest update.
I really like the tiling but I'm getting a bit tired of GNOME.
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 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 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.
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.
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.
This seems like a smart way to do it. If mods could make it an automatic one-click thing, and then let users combine those into a single merged feed, it would be a nice way to have a single cohesive community across multiple instances while still enjoying the benefits of federation.
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.
Yeah it wouldn't bother me so much if any of it was actually useful, but they all just read like a lazy student padding out the page count on a college paper
I searched for a comparison between two USB flash drive brands and the top result waffled for multiple paragraphs about the history and definition of "flash memory" before finally recommending: "just get whichever one has the best performance in your price range". Gee, thanks AI.
So dumb. There's already a c/foodporn but hopefully it stops there.
It's tough because I almost feel like I need a whitelist at this point. 90% of the first page of Google results usually read like AI-generated fluff that doesn't actually even answer my question. There are a handful of websites I trust now to give me real information and not just clickbait SEO nonsense.
I'm at the point where I add "reddit" to the end of every search just to try and find something that was written by a real person. Maybe someday I can start adding "lemmy" instead.
