I also may boost posts I make with alts, but I’m mainly here so that should be rare.

Interesting. Using the browser for both Lemmy and Mbin and neither picked it up. But subbed!
Is there such a community? O.o
My instance picked nothing and I was doing a meta joke, since there’s !blurrypicturesofcats@lemmy.world
Healthy growth is exponential, so while an initial growth may seem like near zero, as it gains traction, it should become visible.
Also if the fediverse is indeed smaller than those it competes against (can’t audit numbers, can’t trust them), thus making the potential users interested in a given topic, still spreading word of the communities or at least their posts elsewhere, like chatrooms, may help bringing people in.
Maybe go to !forums@sh.itjust.works and ask where you can find external replacement communities if you can’t find them on the fediverse?
Also, within the fediverse, if you use Mbin, PieFed or Friendica, you can easily use hashtags to broaden the covered topics while an equivalent community doesn’t get made. Just avoid hashtag spam within a same post, please.
And lastly, any project is just as successful as the people involved are interested in building it. The fediverse is a niche within a niche, and neither Reddit grew overnight, its advantage being to be much older. And since Reddit seems hellbent both on self-sabotaging and monitoring people down to their criminal and medical records (exhaggeration but who knows for how long), it may be a good idea to be proactive about building and growing alternatives, instead of feeding Stockholm syndrome for Reddit.

Technology@programming.dev•People are rejoicing about the removal of Russian bots from social media but the truth is far morecomplicated
4·1 天前Post without context that links to a post in a platform I can’t access without login or 3rd party interfaces and whose post links to another post. Hm.

Removing distractions helps, from my experience. In my case at least, I usually leave the phone running videos and podcasts I can consume passively, no need to focus on it, on PC I use RSS to quantify the accumulation of posts and stop when I open the posts past that (since I have a backlog there too), and consoles I leave turned off when I’m not playing them.
Missed motion blur, bloated UI, boring QTEs, reusing past ideas…
Jokes aside, very good XD
Easy until you have to troubleshoot anything
Or debloat anything
Or tinker any settings
Or have to follow tutorials full of screenshots because idk, Windows expects users to not be able to read more than three phrases at a time?

Gaming@lemmy.ml•What do you think of games when thinking about XBOX brands and series? [random discussion]
2·6 天前Lost Odyssey as an exclusive, Dust: An Elysian Tail as an “ex-clusive”, and with some struggle Halo as a first party title.
Auster@thebrainbin.orgtoPress coverage of the Fediverse@lemmy.world•Mastodon adds email newsletters so people who don't want an account can still follow creators on the open social web
1·8 天前Not a #newsletter user myself, but yay for options! =)
And as others pointed out, there’s #RSS too, but also for hashtags, not just users.

RetroGaming@lemmy.world•What game do you wish would be decompiled or recompiled next?
2·8 天前Twilight Insanity. Dunno if it’s good or not, life getting in the way and all that, but a version that doesn’t require hardware acceleration for 20+ y.o. systems would be fantastic.

linux4noobs@programming.dev•AutoKey, a desktop automation utility for Linux and X11.
1·9 天前From what I played around with it a few years back, iirc AutoHotKey scripts can be converted to AutoKey. However, AHK uses its own scripting language, and AutoKey uses Python.

Anime@ani.social•Crunchyroll Additions and Removals for the Week 9/25 to 10/2 (reddit post)
4·9 天前I’ve only found smut ones, and sporadically only. If there’s others, I didn’t get lucky to find yet.
But if there are no sources for DRM-free anime, maybe worth for consumers to pressure for that. Could be a good time now that right to repair and stop killing games movements are gaining traction. =)

Brasil@lemmy.eco.br•Pergunta descontraída: Qual o seu alinhamento político?
21·9 天前Fediverso pende pesado pra esquerda (edit: ou pelo menos os mais vocais, os moderadores de grupos maiores, e os adms de instâncias maiores pelo que observo). Quem é de direita não vai falar por medo de ser ostracizado, de ser cancelado, ou mesmo de tomar banimentos padrão justificativas do lemmy.ml (vulgo “coloca qualquer coisa”).

Anime@ani.social•Crunchyroll Additions and Removals for the Week 9/25 to 10/2 (reddit post)
4·10 天前Oof. Quite a lot.
Not familiar with most, but makes me wonder how many of these are on physical media, sold DRM free digitally, or at least available elsewhere through streaming.


























No caffeine, just sheer power of anger.👌
But jokes aside, not exactly anger but rather a perhaps obsessive need to get my problems solved.
