Nearly every game that runs on Windows runs just fine on Linux nowadays, with some setup on your first run.

Nobara os makes it even simpler.

Nobara is a fedora distro that's optimised really well for gaming by the developer of proton-ge.

Tbh Lemmy (and the rest of the fediverse) isn't ready for mainstream use 😔

TeddE 41 points 3 years ago

I'm not sure I agree with that. It isn't ready to provide a first class luxury airliner experience - and that is a requirement for some, but if you're okay with a bumpy ride, Lemmy is absolutely serviceable.

Lemmy has a wild west style vibe to it. Anything is possible, and that offers excitement to many people. There was an unfortunate bug regarding hot posts that emerged while the Reddit protest is going on, but that bug has been fixed (even if the fix hasn't been rolled out everywhere yet).

That and the 'function over form' look of the default website / PWA is not beautiful, but again quite serviceable.

The social communities are in flux, due to the general expansion, but that also means there's great opportunity.

One thing that it sorely lacks is easy video upload... it might have that in the near future, but let's face it, it'll be disabled by default on all instances... just takes way too much space. And most memes nowadays are actually videos, so... no, mainstream users will never come here. And that could actually be a good thing if you think about it, it filters out users by design, not bad IMO.

We're not in 2016 man, people are now used to the platforms having image and video upload 🤷. If they don't have that, they tend to look away. Uploading to 3rd party hosting is for advanced user, not your every day Joe.

that's definitely part of the excitement for me now, but will I stay here? not unless things keep updating. How is Lemmy moderated though? That wild west feel is a double edged sword and tends to turn into a cesspool on the internet before too long.

I don't think that will happen here, there is just not a big enough userbase, and I don't think there ever will be. It's just not attractive to the every day users, not flashy, no video upload, complicated to work with (cuz of federation). This will never be as mainsteram as FB, Twitter, Instagram.

Definitely agree that lemmy has a wild west feel to it right now, and like you, i love it.

But most people have very low tolerance for interruption to their experience and just want it to work, no matter who is running it. For my part, I'd like to see the process of searching for new communities and accounts get smoothed out, and maybe process of linking to a post on another instance.

On the other side of the coin, a lot of the tools needed for effective moderation on a large scale are still in the process of being made. Beehaw defederating from 2 other large instances threw a wrench in the works, but hopefully they'll refederate once better tools are added.

Find not a large, but very nerdy community and follow it. You'll find many more small and nerdy communities. And some of them will be focused on cool/odd internet places.

For me, it was a linux-oriented youtube section, where I first find out about hackernews, r/internetisbeatiful and many FOSS and privacy-related subreddits.

I haven't posted much on Reddit about this whole kerfuffle lately (I feel myself winding down over there) but I got wildly different results when mentioning Kbin/Lemmy on different threads and different subreddits. Sometimes huge upvotes and positivity, sometimes huge downvotes and anger. Such is Reddit when the hivemind hasn't settled on a narrative yet I suppose.

I can understand why some people get angry, if they personally are preferring to stay on Reddit for whatever reason. These new things "threaten" their comfortable and familiar lifestyle, they're an "enemy team." Their anger is stupid, but understandable. I can understand stupid.

To be fair, every time I click on a Reddit post on my home page, it is usually filled with all kinds of comments that I can and can’t think of already. So not much incentive to leave a comment instead of upvote/downvote.

But here probably because of the low user count, essentially we are the one that are leaving those “all kinds of comments”.

Same here. Keep telling people; lots of them come over.

Specially when you mention Sync for Lemmy, or Memmy for Lemmy and Artemis for kbin/Lemmy which are both heavily inspired by Apollo.

Even made this quick summary of what's going on reddit and how Lemmy/Kbin works to copy/paste on any relevant thread; seems to be quite effective. Feel free to use it.
