It runs pretty well! Linux certainly helps a little by being lighter overall than Windows, but everything works great on Fedora. I haven’t had any issues. Dolphin runs well too.

I think so too. ☺️

I’m using Pikmin 2 as my rainy weather or too hot right now activity. ☺️

Thanks! I’ll check those out.

I love both games, but personally Pikmin 2 is my favorite. I really like the treasure hunting mechanics they added and the dungeons.

It’s a PowerA Nintendo Switch Enhanced controller. ☺️

I think most of it has to do with that lemmy.world has better hardware than other instances. The admin Rudd has a lot of experience running federated services as well. So it may be his first rodeo lemmy-wise but not hosting a federated service with a large user-base.

So when a lot of smaller instances started getting overwhelmed and stopping signups, lemmy.world was going strong without the performance issues that other instances might see.

That along with the fact that NSFW content is allowed makes lemmy.world a good alternative for Reddit refugees looking for something stable with a similar set of rules as well.

I myself joined lemmy.ml at first, then beehaw.org when lemmy.ml asked everyone to spread out, and finally found home on lemmy.world because I didn’t really like how downvotes are disabled on beehaw. Not to mention the defederation that beehaw has done recently. Although I can understand and appreciate why they’ve done that.

Absolutely. I think mine is still around somewhere, but the screen has a pretty substantial crack if I’m remembering correctly.

How have you found Lineage OS? I was curious about FOSS phone OS options a while ago.

I loved my nexus 6 back in the day (which I believe was made by Motorola). I miss it sometimes today.

That’s neat by the way: using the edge part of the screen as trigger buttons for Citra.

This made me think about how much I miss the video store!

There was something really special about going out as a family and browsing all the cover art. Copies of Star Wars were always rented out at ours. Memories of renting a Godzilla movie you’d never seen, begging your dad for candy and popcorn on the way to the checkout counter. Good times. I miss them. 🥲

Yeah I’m having a lot of crashes too. It also seems like notifications aren’t working for me/aren’t implemented yet.

It’s looking good though and I guess I’ll switch between web and Mlem while all the bugs are ironed out.

Ahhh I see. That makes sense.

I guess a bunch of big severs downloading everything from smaller servers would also create an issue too just like the other way around huh?

Something that kind of bothers me about this way of doing it (even though I understand it’s probably a performance or otherwise concern) is that it means that users from other instances can’t see older top posts on a community just because a user from their instance hadn’t joined up until some point.

That seems kinda like it’s a second-class experience for anyone on a different instance unless I’m missing something.

The solution I guess is creating an account on the other instance if you want to see all the older top posts, but then you’re starting to make accounts on multiple instances which is not my personal preference.

Just thinking out loud. I’m curious if anyone else feels the same way.

I just installed the Mlem TestFlight and I’m very encouraged.

It’s already got a similar feel to Apollo and I’m excited to see it develop further. I like the Lemmy web interface as well, but it has its fair share of bugs at the moment (which is to be expected). In particular searching for communities across all instances is really easy on Mlem.

I’m not sure what is next for Reddit, but I’m feeling more and more hopeful that it doesn’t include me at the moment. If I can have a thriving home on the fedeverse, I’ll take that most definitely.

I woke up and did nearly the same thing!

Yeah! Lemmy.world is a better fit for me overall. I had joined beehaw.org after lemmy.ml asked users to try and find other instances to call home initially. I didn’t completely mesh with their server preferences. They are a great community though and I appreciate what they’re doing. I hope they keep growing as well.

I think lemmy.world is in a great position because the admin has experience hosting decentralized platforms and already has a good pipeline to cover server costs because of that.

lemmy.ml is also the first instance that I joined. I don’t think lemmy.ml should drop off. Since it’s run by the lemmy devs I think they have their hands more than full at the moment, but I’m hopeful that things will stabilize eventually and they will get more financial support with the new users.

I think it’s important to have at least a few big populated instances that are “main” instances. I like what I see with lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, and beehaw.org. Personally I think it’s bad if we are too centralized on one instance or too spread out on a bunch of others. It seems like it’s going fairly well so far though, and I hope that when other big instances keep growing (and like I said get some more financial support from the community) they can improve their hardware too.

Heads up, this may not be where you meant your comment to go. @skullgiver had the same thing happen I think.

Oh good to know. I don’t think that will be an issue since the instance I’m signed up with allows NSFW/Pornographic content. I definitely see how that could cause issues elsewhere though.

I was really confused for a second! It looks like the comment above yours may have been the same thing.

Thanks! I’ll try that out.

Edit: That worked! Thanks.

Yeah! Thanks.
