Have you heard of ProtonDB? It rates the current state of games and recommended fixes.
Gaming on Linux has improved a lot over the years. It's typically only multiplayer games with Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) that you'll run into major issues with. Mod managers frequently require a fair amount of extra work and reading but I think a lot of Bethesda games have easy work arounds and documentation.
The instance owner seems really on the ball when it comes to things like defederation and updates and like they have plans to keep the instance alive in the long term even with the influx of users. I might create a FMHY account and check to see how things are going.
I have a similar story where I originally went with FMHY up until it went down. I decided to go with dbzer0 because they have a similar stance for discussing piracy.
That said, as far as I know, they have the same rule as /r/piracy when it comes to requesting or linking to content which I don't personally like. I enjoyed helping people find music and TV shows on FMHY. They also want to keep things SFW which I don't personally have strong feelings about one way or the other but I'd prefer an instance with an indifferent approach.
A different domain (ex. .TV, .us., .gov, etc.) doesn't always mean it's the same site. I couldn't find any notable cases (or court cases) but an example could be mylocalbusiness.de versuses mylocalbusiness.pt
In that situation I can create a website for my local business in Germany and not have to worry about an identically named business in Portugal potentially.
It is important to keep this in mind though because spoofing one website for malicious purposes is a real hazard.
In addition, I want to test myself how long I will stay away from social networks. I want to understand why community-based social media like Lemmy is addictive, what are the benefits and drawbacks of it, and re-learn how to use the Internet.
I think a big part of it is accessibility. If you are using your phone for social media then you have something alleviate boredom at a moments notice. It's good to think about how you use those awkward amounts of time in your life and if using a social media service like Lemmy starts exceed those time periods and eat away at your day to day life.
I feel like Lemmy is at a point where you can browse by all and find a sizeable chunk of content you can interact with and we haven't reach the point where people can go back and tell you something has already or is regularly posted in a community.
It's nice but I don't think I've felt any FOMO yet. I feel like Lemmy will continue to grow and feel this way for a while yet and I don't think I need to really push to add content in the hopes it stays viable and relevant
They work just fine. You can either attempt to use the install script Lutris provides you and hope it gives you the option to supply your own files (this is primarily GOG games and source ports) or set up a new game from scratch by selecting the exe file of the installer and later changing it to the game.
You should check ProtonDB even if you aren't using Proton to make sure there's no additional fixes or edits that need to be applied.
Lemmy is now a real alternative. When reddit imploded Lemmy wasn't fully set up to take advantage of the exodus, so a lot of users came over to the fediverse and gave up right away. There were no phone apps, the user interface was rudimentary, and communities weren't yet alive. Next time reddit screws up in a high profile way, and they will screw up, the fediverse will be ready.
I definitely think having mobile apps is an essential step. I was looking at alternative platforms such as Raddle.me but using a mobile browser was an extra hurdle (similar to using the official Reddit app) that kept me from regularly checking in.
Lemmy has way more potential than reddit. Reddit's leadership has always been incompetent and slow at fixing problems. The fediverse has been very responsive to user feedback in comparison.
I could see this causing issues later. We've already seen issues arise with some instances using the .ml domain or not being updated immediately.
Defederation is another beast all together. Most of an instance might be fine but a few problematic communities could create problems leading to arguments and, as much as I hate the term, drama.
Are they inactive right now? I'm not sure if they went the way of re3 (a reverse engineered version of GTA 3 designed to fix bugs, port the game to several platforms, and expand modding capabilities) and were shut down under pressure from Rockstar.
No what I meant was the demand for Funko pops seems to be in decline and a lot of people share OP's beanie baby perspective.
I mentioned people not wanting then for various reasons just because they weren't really involved with the hype to begin with and it could be for any number of reasons.
