yeah nothing wrong with several communities. They all have their place. I’ve been checking out tildes.net. No invite and I don’t know anyone with them, but if its a place I end up spending a lot of my time on I’ll find one.

It still seems way to common for an engine to have other systems tied to FPS, so e.g. running at a higher framerate will mean the physics engine also runs faster, or all animations are faster.

My two rules to live by:

• Assume positive intent. Emotions, body language, etc. get lost when you reduce everything to just text. If it sounds mean or sarcastic but might be curious or genuine, assume it is the latter until proven otherwise.
• never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity being uniformed. Yeah people are malicious sometimes. I still give people the benefit of the doubt.

That, plus when someone is obviously trolling or stirring something up for fun, don’t feed the animals.

Yeah, I’m running on an instance of just me and my wife, biggest downside is needing to subscribe to communities before we get content, but its sooo much faster.

…like to be mean? Or just because he had to go?

Agree that one is best I suppose, but on my own little instance I can subscribe to all 3 and interact with all of them just fine. If I had to pick one I would go programming.dev, it would expose rust to programmers not yet using it and would let users on that instance see communities for languages they otherwise might not check out.

Or just list it as volunteer work…

If it works like email, you’ll miss content that is posted when the app isn’t running. I have a cheap hetzner box going that is running my personal lemmy instance but I don’t think it would work well to have it only running part of the time.

Yes I have, but I have to remind myself that they have added way more content than they expect one person to engage with, and its on purpose. YOU know best what you are intrigued by and interested in, and for large open worlds can ignore as much as you want, but if you are enjoying yourself chasing the threads you find engaging then they have succeeded at what they set out to build.
