I know there’s donations and the owners can use their own money, but there’s a limit. I doubt a platform with hundreds of thousands of daily users can survive with only donations.
I mean most of the “Reddit content” on Lemmy is thing that get posted to Reddit from other sites anyway. I don’t think the reddit vibe has existed except the same tired comments for a long time now
I mean if I am not paying either way me ingesting that content or not makes 0 difference to the producer. It is the same logic as throwing excess food to the trash so homeless can’t eat it.
I have always liked open world games as a concept, but I have a very bad sense of direction. So whenever I play open world games I keep getting lost and frustrated. Eventually getting bored and dropping the game. I am curious how other people with bad sense of direction cope with this problem.
I am not a professional gamer nor do I have much time to invest into a game in one stretch. However I do enjoy the cumulative progress I make with each session I have with the games, specifically progress of acquiring loot, money, powers or in-game materials. Are there any games that try to match my interests?...
I want to point out the obvious choice by recommending Minecraft. It is very easy to proficient, acquiring in game materials is all you do. Play sessions can be as long as you want since it is a open sandbox and you can add as much depth as you want via mods.
There’s content coming from some specific instances that I’m not particularly interested in. When I’m browsing content outside of my local instance, can I prevent all content from one (or more) specific instance(s) from being displayed?
Currently only way to block a entire instance is defedarting in instance to instance Level. So you would either need to convince your instance admin to defederate or host your own. But I don’t see a reason why this wouldn’t be possible in future. It can even probably be implemented by a third party client without any changes to Lemmy api
I have been using Lemmy for 20 days, at first I opened an account at Lemmy.world because you can join without writing a text and waiting approval. I have been enjoying the experience overall but despite the admin teans best efforts Lemmy.world has been experiencing some serious performance issues. If you want to avoid that join...
Yeah! of course when I say a small instance, I don’t mean a random instance with 10 users. You should check it out before you join. There is a lot of great instances with ~1000 users. Maybe should add it to the post.
Currently Lemmy doesn’t support account migrating but it is technically possible afaik. It might get added in future but currently you have to sing up from sracth. Hovewer I would say having a Lemmy.world account in addition is probably a good call.
You can click the “use map” button on this site: fediverse.observer. But if you can’t find a instance that you like that is close don’t worry. Because server closeness doesn’t matter nearly as much as servers being overloaded.
I have very limited background in programming. I quite want to develop the game myself, or with only minimal help. Is there one language that is better than others for game development, or is more versatile?
If you are new you probably want to decide which game engine you want to use first, then learn one of the languages that engine supports.
Most popular choices would be: Unreal engine, Unity and Godot. Hovewer if your goal is to get into game dev industry by far the most popular language would be C++ followed by C#.
Depending on the scope of your game(if it is a very simple 2d game like 2048) you might want to consider Python too. it is known for being one of the easiest languages to learn and you will have easy time researching the points you get stuck on.
From someone who lived in a place with very dry dessert like climate and moved to one that is next to the sea. It is all about humidity. In most dry climates your biggest problem is direct sun-contact. Sun will literally start to burn your skin as soon as you are out but you will be fine in a shadow. In a humid climate sun will not burn as much. But air becomes very heavy and you start to sweat non stop. So in dry climate you want a thin, preferably white clothing to prevent sun contact. While in humid climate you want as little clothing as possible.
Hovewer if you are gonna be out in sun for a long time especially in summer. You should cover your body at least your head and your body if you don’t have a sun screen. People living in forest doesn’t need to do this because they will mostly be in shadows from all the trees.
I want to know your opinions on the best distro that is convenient for laptops. Main reason is I want to really optimize hardware performance and more specifically battery life for my University classes. I also want to try a tiling manager as they seem perfect for laptops....
I liked using fedora Sway spin on my Dell XPS 13. Sway because it let’s you utilise the screen space well and fedora spin because it came working out of the box, you can use it in any distro really.
Does it have a healthy amount of users: between 1k-10k users are probably the sweet spot right now. You don’t want too many users because it will cause performance problems. And instances with too few users has too many unknowns.
read the rules see if you agree: servers can have wildy different rules ranging from no NSFW to no downvotes. If they don’t have any rules that is a red flag too. You want an active moderation so the instance doesn’t get run over by bots.
Does it look low effort: check the banner, how the announcement formatted.

How will lemmy instances survive if they get too big?
I know there’s donations and the owners can use their own money, but there’s a limit. I doubt a platform with hundreds of thousands of daily users can survive with only donations.
I don't get people that are here in the fediverse and *want to bring over* the content that is on FB, IG, TikTok, etc.
This has come to mind because all the chatter about Meta federating....

Recommendations for short session games with materialistic progress made with each session
I am not a professional gamer nor do I have much time to invest into a game in one stretch. However I do enjoy the cumulative progress I make with each session I have with the games, specifically progress of acquiring loot, money, powers or in-game materials.

Is there a way to ignore all content from specific instances?
There’s content coming from some specific instances that I’m not particularly interested in. When I’m browsing content outside of my local instance, can I prevent all content from one (or more) specific instance(s) from being displayed?
YSK: If you want faster and less buggy User experience, move to a smaller instance that is hosted close to you.

Why does it seem like desert cultures tend to cover most of their body, while tropical cultures tend to wear very little clothing?
Like, I know that desert dwellers do it to protect their bodies from the sun, but isn’t that also an issue in the tropics?
