I mean some people are complaining about the price. But I don't care about the price necessarily, as I'm not "protesting". I'm simply tired of participating in the shittification of social media sites while they seek to monetize us. So them charging anything, or attempting to be profitable, is inherently the turnoff for me, because there is an inevitable path that a for-profit social media website takes.

That's been true from the mobile app for a while. Whenever I save a photo from the reddit app it comes with a watermark that says what sub it's from.

I recommend browsing videos from Squat University on Instagram and seeing if you can identify the specific type and cause of knee pain and rehabbing that before you write it off as "part of aging".

The point is to put your uniquely provided information somewhere else, like Lemmy. Google will figure out how to prioritize this information eventually. Delete it from reddit so that it's no longer the internet's repository of information.

You could always unsubscribe from general communities in lemmy.world and subscribe to general communities on other instances instead.

How many people are working on Lemmy?

Uh...there are a lot of people with 5 day old Lemmy accounts, there was literally just a mass influx. Probably the majority of users came here within the last 5 days lol. Your account is one week old. Hell, most of the active users of Lemmy before the past week were posting content like this.

I mean it's fair to say that there have been many performance issues as most of the federations were not prepared for the mass influx of people, and for someone literally brand new and without context it's hard to differentiate between temporary performance issues and fundamental flaws. I agree that all the bellyaching is laughably naive about how quickly websites and services come together and evolve, but we can't pretend that the growing pains haven't happened.

I used an email address that would tell me where the spam is coming from to sign up for Lemmy. None of my spam email is coming with that email address so I don't think I'm getting spam from Lemmy sold emails.. I have noticed more phishing emails but I think it's just Gmail letting them through or being more targeted.

Yeah, same here. Keeps happening. I'd love to learn more about coding so I could help contribute to the app and to Lemmy in general. Right now I just have some rudimentary python but some hands on experience would be ideal.

I'm not sure why Mastodon posts always end up looking so bad on Lemmy. The title is always gored and the post always has hashtags that do nothing in Lemmy. Just because they're technically cross compatible doesn't mean they should be.

Thank you! Even just seeing the url format helps me understand the relationship a lot better.

It is really not a bad game, but I probably should have started something smaller and more indie after TOTK rather than going to a big studio game as the comparison isn't super fantastic. The comparison between the virtually bug free TOTK and this one is dramatic. Add to that the fact that the game plays very similarly to the last PC game I played and it's coloring my perception of it. It's just crazy to me that AAA western studios are willing to put out games with bugs after playing so many japanese games for the past year.

Heavily disagree. The internet was better when content was shared for no reason other than desiring to share content. Turning every opportunity to post content into a money generating system is what ruins social media over and over again. Literally every other social media can be monetized; content creators looking to make a buck should stay there.

I specifically moved somewhere where we could use more public transit because my climate anxiety was overwhelming me.

Hopefully there will be a Lemmy equivalent to r/fuckcars and r/YIMBY soon enough.

the 500 comment limit made the concept of daily threads replacing common questions a killer on subs like r/fitness. "Has this question been asked before? Well, instead of being able to pull up several threads about this topic, I have to go through the daily threads of hundreds of days and search the comments for keywords - after increasing the number of comments visible from 200 to 500, and then still not being able to search all the comments on the 1000+ comment threads." Just genuinely became unusable.

The linking issue is a big one that they will need to figure out how to make work. If you can't share a community easily there's just no way this is going to get big.

I think the most important takeaway I'm getting from this experience is that my usual playthrough method of trying to 100% a game by doing all the side missions and quests will not be rewarded much in this game due to the repetitive nature of it. I'm thinking I'll enjoy it more if I just stick mostly to the main plot. I grinded AC Odyssey for like 200-300 hours and I think this game is similar enough that I wouldn't get much out of it playing the same way.

I still like the game, honestly, I just do think the dichotomy of the experience is throwing me off and making me appreciate Nintendo's ability to create virtually bug free, very complete gaming experiences more than I did before.

just installed, huge improvement. Thanks!
