For playing and downloading the games, SteamCMD.

For viewing the store or community pages, a browser? Maybe you could get the Steam Deck version of the store page?

Note to app users and alternative frontend users (such as mlmym), there are some breaking changes so you will need to update the app or wait.

I think federation with Meta will improve Mastodon, and doesn’t affect Lemmy too much. Threads users will be able to post to our groups, but the discussion will be mostly within communities on existing servers.

The worry is if the bulk of discussion happens in Meta’s space. Yes, people will feel like they are missing out if they are on a Masto server defederated with Meta, but there is enough activity from people outside of that to be engaging. On the Lemmy side, (hypothetically) if Facebook Groups were to become like Lemmy communities, I’d be very concerned that most of the discussion would move away from places like here on lemmy.world and other cool servers to Meta’s. Then by the time Meta decides to leave or do something stupid then people will not have a place to go to.

Very interesting to see! Thanks for compiling these.

Governments in free, democratic countries are not supposed to spy on you without a probable suspicion of wrongdoing. Government agencies around the world get around that by “purchasing information” collected by private firms and use it to gain probable suspicion whenever they feel like.

When it’s unclear I’ll say 7 in the evening, or 7 in the morning, 7pm, 7am. 7 at night, supper at 7, whichever one isn’t pitch dark. There are many ways to go about it.

This video illustrates it well

Communities is the official term which I use. I’m not a stickler so you can call them sublemmies, sublems, subworlds, subhaws, subs, whatever. I know people here would rather disassociate from that site that many migrated away from.

I liked the idea of burrows, so if you have creative terms for it people tend to appreciate it. Yeehive was another cute idea over on Beehaw.

On your server, you can use server/c/community_name (e.g. lemmy.world/c/asklemmy ). A more commonly accepted approach now is to use !community_name@server (e.g. [email protected]).

Hey, thanks for being honest about it.

You’re right, the sheer size of Reddit means it’s hard to deny that the variety of discussion topics is much greater than on Lemmy. The decentralized servers model also means it’s slightly more difficult to find and grow small communities.

What I like though is that in general, posters on Lemmy, even the ones that repost old memes from elsewhere, try to genuinely engage with other commentors.

In Chinese/Japanese they may not necessarily start with the same letter but they look kind of similar:

右 vs. 左, might mistake them if you aren’t wearing your contacts :P

Ah yes, I wonder if anything happened on the 65th day of April, in the square close to the place which the sun rises…

Welcome. Glad to have you here!

Yeah, I was visiting Seattle at a tram stop, I could hear an ad from a gas pump going off from halfway across the street… obnoxious af.

A tick can install an allergy to red meat for you.

I blocked a lot of those communities. But there is a lot of hentai out there, hence why you see a lot of hentai appear from hentai dedicated communities.

Are you thinking of beehaw.org?

It’s not an easy situation, and airlines are often scumbags but I really don’t think the airline is totally at fault or should be ashamed here. As much as it’s an unfortunate disability, an accomodation for it does not have unlimited range to affect others’ rights and liberties. There are several accommodations and alternatives, such as relocation to an alternate seat where no one is eating nuts, arranging private transportation (that is one of the few things private air travel is practical for).

Disability accommodation regulations even state that it has to be at a reasonable level of cost/effort for the person or company accomodating.

A close relative of mine has severe/life-threating shellfish allergies. I still don’t think it would be a good idea to ban serving shellfish to other customers, but at most if it was on the menu, to be requested to relocate to somewhere with a lesser degree of exposure.

All/New was the only way you could get an entirely new feed a couple times a day.

There was still some lore and beefs between servers (like with wolfballz, a right wing community taken down for hatespeech, or hexbear that became incompatible and headed their own way). Feddit.de has a still a bunch of old federated servers cached that came into and went out of existence.

Between Lemmy.ca (I joined there in March) and Beehaw, there were 10 people posting regularly as in a handful of posts a day. Lemmy.ml had a mix of general news and user “Yogthos” posting pro-China news/propaganda.

It was a quiet but nice little place. The admins running the instance would often be quick to reply and give you detailed answers whenever you needed them. Now many have their plate full with moderation actions and keeping their site up.

[email protected] was one of the first communities to me that seemed based off a Reddit subreddit theme.

We knew the change winds were coming, slowly at first in May, then suddenly exploded after May 30th. Beehaw grew from 700 users to 14000 in less than two weeks (during the time the Reddit protest was being organized). That was a crazy change for Fediverse people, new people everywhere, minor trolls popping here and there, Lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works being born, admins working overtime to accept new members. All very exciting.

Second half of June there was some trouble. Beehaw defederated because they couldn’t keep up with moderating users from instances with open signup processes (and I suspect it was triggered by a troll making a hateful post about his dick on the LGBTQ sub).

Then there was a torrent of accounts made on some instances that originally had one or two users. They had no comments or posts and had a username with a random word and a bunch of numbers. All of a sudden the instances with the “most users” were these completely inactive instances.

CAPTCHA was better implemented, and dbzero helped create a filter to monitor and defederate instances with hugely disproportionate number of accounts compared to activity.

There’s your mini-history lesson for Lemmy.

Absolutely. It’s nice a solid portion of the silly Redditness is relegated to Lemmy Shitpost and Meme communities.

I have other accounts on Lemmy but lemmy.world feels the most like Reddit imho. Check out some of the other, smaller instances, many have a different vibe and are more relaxed in pace owing from the smaller userbase.
