As badly described as possible, what is your favorite video game?

    • Why do so many people write Mastadon instead of Mastodon?

    Jump

  • Ah, sounds fair - the O is very much pronounced O in French and I didn't realise how similar to A it would be in English. Thanks!

    • What are your criteria for choosing an instance other than Lemmy.world?

    Jump

  • I have an account on Beehaw.org because I like their vibe and moderation policy, an account on sh.itjust.works for the occasional community creation (!olympics@sh.itjust.works promo time) and my main account on jlai.lu which is in my country and language.

    So my main choice is regional, and then it's based on moderation policies & community creation permissions, etc., while on generalist instances. I'm thinking of swapping sh.itjust.works for a smaller, better moderated generalist instance that still allows community creation.

  • Oh, it's not video games and heavy metal anymore?

    • On the future of Lemmy vs reddit

    Jump

  • The more people build instances and the more people create communities outside of lemmy.world, the more resilient all this will be. Lemmy is the kind of place where you can fix your issues by building alternatives.

    Hosting an instance has some cost and technical difficulties, so I don't go around recommending that, but creating an account on a mid-sized instance and creating communities there for what you like to talk about is in everyone's power.

    • I made a tool for discovering new communities on lemmy

    Jump

  • This is super cool!

    I don't think login works if you have 2FA, but not a huge problem :)

    • Book where the MC is hated for a reason? (With no romance as the focus)

    Jump

  • In the Scholomance series, the narrator has this curse of unlikeability over her. But she decides to fully lean into it and is an absolute jerk to everyone, and it's pretty glorious to see her being so freaking rude to the few people who actually want to befriend her.

    • A street in my neighborhood

    Jump

  • Looks really nice!

    • Infinity For Lemmy update just dropped. dev is really active in the community

    EDIT: looking forward*, not excited. sorry

    • Does anyone know a Pinterest FOSS client or front end?

    Jump

  • Amazing, thanks!

  • Oh, wonderful, thanks for this roundup!

    • What are your favorite non-foss apps?

    Jump

  • My fave is Anki, free on Android and 25 USD on i0S for the exact same product.

    • Does Lemmy have an “algorithm”? Like if I engage with one community a lot, will that show up more in my feed?

    Jump

  • Go on the All tab with the setting New to see all posts that can be read by your instance. This still allows you to subscribe to some stuff on the Subscribed tab without having any curation in the All tab.

    • Book addiction

    Jump

  • I have one shelf on my bookshelf which is for books I haven't read yet. I'm allowed to fill it up however much I want, but never spill out of it. It's been pretty good for me.

    • You've never heard of the most brutal race in the world.

    Jump

  • This sounds incredibly cool and definitely like a project worth pursuing over a few months of sabbatical (outside of the race itself)!

    • ‘It’s exciting, it’s powerful’: how translated fiction captured a new generation of readers

    Jump

  • In a slighly sarcastic but mostly happy way, I love when English speakers find out about translation - better late than never to discover what everyone else in the world has been up to these past centuries!

    • Utopia to blight: Surviving in Henry Ford’s lost jungle town

    Jump

  • This is such a fascinating story! Rae from the Zoned Out podcast made a series about it - I'm not on her Patreon so I could only listen to the intro episode (first out of three) but was so interested!
