I’m on like 3 different ones, mainly defcon.social. All of them are under 5k users. I use a desktop app called Sengi to show feeds from all my accounts at once and group the federated feeds together, so yeah I can watch lots of posts fly by or scroll through at my leisure.

And yeah I pretty much just watch until I see a post I wanna favorite or boost. That’s why I say it’s the best way to find new accounts you wouldn’t otherwise have thought to check out.

Generally my local and home feeds are much slower. So on mobile, when I’m done catching up on those I keep refreshing the federated. I would be so bored without the federated.

“federated next to useless?” nah it’s my favorite. best way to find new people to follow

love a good Shakespearean fool

i so want somebody to get a picture of her constipated face lmao

My Libby hold for the audiobook of Absolution by Jeff VanderMeer finally came in and I’m excited to start it.

Also started Piranesi by Susanna Clarke a couple days ago and it’s one of those that’s hard to put down.

unfortunately in my experience reddit still has more niche communities than can be found on lemmy, probably bc they have more users. they have more subreddits for specific games, cities/states, mental illnesses, spiritualities/world mythologies, art, music, and book genres… the number of times I’ve searched for a community on lemmy only for it to not exist makes me hesitant to accept this video’s claim. reddit still has more niches than us. we just don’t have the numbers or activity.

I wouldn’t say MSN isn’t a source but I see what you mean about the author info at the bottom. Looks like I also missed the part at the top of the MSN link that said it was originally posted at TheDesk, so I guess it is legit. I’d only searched up other sources just to cross-check the original to see if more than one outlet was talking about it and check its validity, so either way yeah it checks out.

msn has that name recognition. never heard of the other people.

It would certainly make me pause until they explained themselves

yeahhh, on second glance… OP’s username leans towards trolling

Yeah I definitely want to see how they respond

welp guess they’re not getting my donation this year

edit: this source looked very sus to me so I had to look up a more reliable one. Seems more legit at the MSN version.

a possible pro-tip/what i do: organizing your library with categories matching protondb status.

I’ve categorized every game i own by either borked, bronze, gold, native, platinum, or uncategorized for games not reviewed yet. Any new game I even think about getting i check protondb first. (Though now I try not to buy from steam and just go to DRM-free stores like GOG and Epic through Heroic.)

This way you have a general idea of which games might give you trouble when you go to try to play them, and how much tinkering you might have to get into.

You can also then target just uncategorized games if you wanna contribute to protondb with your own experiences and observations.

Oh, yeah, it is a Kindle Fire. I never got into e-ink.

I was able to just install F-droid and from there get Obtainium to import my usual apps, including Librera which I prefer over KoReader. No jailbreak necessary.

However… I do eventually wanna jailbreak it and get Amazon’s presence off there entirely if I can. Thanks for the references, for when I get there.

Just letting the more non-techy people know that you can get FOSS apps like KoReader without having to go all the way, so to speak.

Piped.video is an option directly in the browser. Or Invidious.

On mobile (android) I’ve seen NewPipe as an option

prescriptivism is wrong, actually. descriptivism FTW.
