People forget projects like this are done for fun. They put a lot of polish and organize it well enough that it looks professional, but just like this, it can be a single dev working on it on their free time. its super easy to create a project, get busy, and just fall off. They’re allowed to do that, plus while there’s always more stuff to do, even the existence of this app is already impressive, so I thank them for the work, and until I decide to start coding during my free time instead of playing video games or watching TV, I try not to be disappointed when a project slows or even dies.

I hope the original dev is doing good, I thank them for their work, and congratulations on the twins, hope everything is going well for them, and hope they only come back when they feel ready, not when they feel forced to

Yuzu is an interesting idea, I haven’t thought of that, but last I checked a few months ago, it was still not working, and I heard using wine to run the windows version can get you banned so I never tested it.

On my steam deck I’ve been using Xbox cloud gaming (free if you’re willing to wait) or Amazon Luna (if you have prime), and they work decently well, much better than “not running at all”.

what? the benefit is clearly adding a whole day to rest, if you’re fried after 8 hours, the additional 2 isn’t going to feel better worse, but you’ll gain a whole day to rest. I always am tired on days where I work over 8 hours, but so happy I get another full day off.

I can see it in liftoff and lemmy.world mobile site, so could be a Jerboa problem

Exactly this, it sucks but it’s a chicken and the egg problem, platform needs people to make content, but you need content for people to join

I’m not sure if it was as much of that and more so people who didn’t wanna go to another instance were complaining about how they essentially locked that name just because they throught the reddit android mods should be the true successors and some were very against the idea of just giving control to ex reddit mods. I didn’t notice it took off again either but people were really calling on the admins to replace them

I wonder if that’s the point, I mean it probably is abit much to be the biggest name and have a lot of people attempting to join. That was the whole goal was small narrow focus instances, so by intentionally provoking members that tend to be more techy and understand how to change instances, they’re pushing them to help grow other instances and help limit flow into lemmy.world.

Or not, I wonder if soon it’ll make sense if instances become more democratic and allow member voting (that have been apart of the server for some time) for decisions like this, people will be mad either way (especially with only two options of fed or defed) but letting it be clear that the people are ok with it.

With federation, the content is shared between servers, that’s the act of federation. It downloads the posts from the other instance. So it would then be stored on lemmy.world, the only way to stop that is to defederate. The mobile apps mostly solve this problem as you can view content from lemmy.world and choose to add other instances, but the browser version isn’t setup to work that way, so it’s less than perfect, but it’s supposed to be easy for this content to exist all on its own and only show to other users in a single place when they want that. So if the admin team is afraid the largest community on a small and growing platform won’t have the means to fight a legal battle no matter if it is legal or not (I’ve been hearing a lot of legals), I get their reaction. hell reddit could easily target and crush Lemmy.world in court if they wanted to kill the platform. It isn’t much work as unfortunate as it is to go to that instance for that content

I think it’ll be tough to find that corner of it… I think I saw a conservative community on lemmy.world but the platforms original purpose was to get away from the big, controlling, capitalist social media platforms the likes of Twitter, Instagram, reddit, etc. Like mastodon, the largest part of the fediverse (I’m pretty sure), grew alot when twitter was brought by Elon, and more moved after he messed up the platform enough, saying they’ll create their own platform where hate won’t be allowed. It’s kinda against it’s nature to have much conservative-ness.

Not trying to be rude as based on how this sounds, you seem nice enough and not crazy, but places like mastodon are basically the left’s version of “Truth social” where people are pretty ok with saying “I don’t want those thoughts spread here” those thoughts they don’t want are usually things like homophobia or transphobia, but those are fairly common on the right even if you don’t share them.

It’s an interesting thought and would probably be alittle healthier, but hey you’re still here being able to provide that counter point of view

If you got any programming skills, Lemmy’s code is open source and improvements to these expensive calls (or just any call) would most likely help the server. I’m also sure moderation tools would probably make their job easier and just improvements to the platform as a whole would probably help (more users, more possible donations, especially if it gets closer to platforms like reddit)

But without any technical skills like that, probably just helping communicate stuff like this, like if someone’s complaining, explaining this, is probably the best you can do (and it ain’t much)
