Not wanting to spam by replying to every post, this one is an answer to both TheOneCurly and solarvector. It seems I also figure out how to tag, yey me.
So you’re both saying that this is normal and not something I’m doing wrong, right? In that case, that’s fine with me, I can wait and totally understand the lack of numbers, I just assumed that even before reddit decided to fold over, there’d be some stuff around, even on niche communities. I wasn’t expecting a huge amount of content or discussions, but in the example given, there’s not even news posts about updates on software etc.
I’ll keep looking around. Seems interesting as a concept so far and I’m much more willing to spend time in lemmy compared to reddit or twitter or whatever gets plastered on my screen daily without my consent that I have to go out of my way to not interact with.
I doubt my s9+ is going to work well, even if it falls within the requirements. But will give it the good old college try.
Edit: Still on the old one here, will have to wait for the mainline and I’ll post results then. For reference as it is now, even something as simple as FFVI runs at 15fps.
I’ll keep that in mind and wait. And if say a month from now things look the same on the subjects I’m interested in, I might give it a try at building something or most likely start posting stuff on existing but slow communities. At the very least, covering news wouldn’t be that hard and even if there’s no interest I can still use it as a personal repository later down the line.
I finished the original Crash trilogy on ps1, now I’m playing Odyssey and will continue with the rest of switch Mario re-releases. After that, I’ll probably start n64 with Zelda and move up the ladder to switch Zelda games. Or I skip Zelda and move to some ps2 platformers.
I do have full 1g1r collections set up, up to ps1 and top 100 for the newer systems that I want to play most of, especially now that I found retro achievements. It’s time to do so that I don’t have.
I’m pretty sure those immigrants have more interesting stories to tell than a billionaire. Just saying.
Living your entire life in a warzone or in inhospitable environments that force you to leave your family behind and getting drowned while the general society ignores the underlying problem seems more worthy of questioning than a billionaire trying to go sightseeing thinking their money shields them from nature. I’d post a clip of a movie that fits here perfectly, but the clip is not on youtube, for anyone interested, look up ‘whatever works’ with Woody Allen there’s a newspaper scene at the beginning of the film.
Anyways, apparently they’re dead. Now to move to more important issues in society.
That’s not curation, that’s a smart(ish) bot account. And personally, I tried to get away from that. On the other hand, a not as such being a first line of moderation would be an interesting experiment. Along with a weekly counter of "X days since ‘I can’t do that Dave’ slipped up.
Joking aside, I don’t like the idea, mostly because it’ll get real spammy real fast. Even if the spam is on interesting things, it’s still spam. Call me old fashioned or whatever, but I prefer people posting interesting stuff and then actual discussions happening on that stuff over a glorified RSS feed.
Oh no, that was basically a weekly post or something that said “X days since not went on a psychedelic trip and I had to moderate it.”
Edit: Though I’ll be honest, that Right to repair thing on my front page went way over the imagineray spammy line for me. But for all I know the right to repair entered my instance and got pulled in it’s entirety in about a couple of hours.
What I’m most against is the spam. If for example it was a daily post with a repository of links to interesting stuff of the day, tech advancements etc, I’d be all in for it. But that doesn’t foster conversation.
In general, at first I was really happy with the subreddit. Then it became spammy and started scrolling past it. Then it became a circlejerk of ‘this robot peeled a banana. Woe me the singularity’ and I started flat out ignoring it.
Long as this community doesn’t turn to that and works either for discussions or a repository of knowledge on AI and science, I’ll be giddy to see new posts.
