If it makes you feel better, lemmings don’t actually commit suicide like you’re imagining and Disney made it all up. They basically threw lemmings off a cliff to get the footage they wanted.
Stardew Valley comes to mind right away, but I think it applies to all titles after you get the hang of it, with the exception of heavily RNG-based games like Risk of Rain 2, Hades, Dead Cells where you have to be alert almost all the time. Currently I’m enjoying playing Red Dead Redemption 2. Definitely a comfort game just riding your horse around.
I tried Stardew Valley one time, and it killed me. I would probably call myself a completionist and all the stuff I have to remember from the get go and dates and times I need to be somewhere to don’t miss out just made me stressed out. But I haven’t looked into it if you really miss out or you can do the stuff later, too. It was I while ago… perhaps I will give it another try.
The worst one i heard is some people will spit in their ice cream to get it melty faster. Now you all know this too. Tycho Brahe of penny arcade once admitted to this atrocity.
This is horrific, I wish I didn’t know… When I want the ice cream to melt faster I just put the spoon under a hot tap and let it run for a bit, or boil some water and pour it onto the spoon. I could not imagine spitting into my icecream that’s vile. lol
For me it’s traefik. It’s took me a while to get it working, but it’s actually really easy now. Setting up container access with labels is very convenient!
Thank you for taking the initiative! I hope the fediverse grows large and diverse, that we may knock the corporate run sites out of the market and give the control back to the collective.
I’m curious though, why are the communities prefixed with “Lemmy?” Is it so other fediverse platforms know what platform it originated on?
Oh my goose, I didn’t realise that Lemmy could be read as “Let Me.” That’s so clever! I’m a sucker for puns! That was all it took to convince me, haha.
I think Lemmy desperately needs to integrate two things:
The ability to search for communities across instances inside of Lemmy (I’m aware of the search option outside of Lemmy, but that’s less than ideal)
The ability to easily search within posts A) in all local communities, B) in all subscribed communities, and C) across all communities in the whole Fediverse. Yes, I’m aware that C) is a huge ask. But I think it’s vital to the success of Lemmy.
The first point is CRUCIAL for setting up your own “scrolling page/account” for, since the instances are only very vague directions, at least while the site is still growing. And in a similiar vein, the second point with B) would be better than manually blocking communities I genuinely have no interest whatsoever in, like fountain pens (unless I don’t know how to operate this site yet).
In fact, C) feels unnecessary because of that right now, since I already see many new communities just in my instance alone. Though it WOULD add things to browse since there isn’t as much happening here, yet…
At this point, it’s only going to get worse. It’s a very large Venture Capital backed company, on track to IPO.
Large VC/public companies goals will follow more of what we see with “mainstream” sites and social media. It’d be against their goals and their business to have less ads, less agorithms showing what their partners want to see and not what the user wants to see, less bloat on their front end. Even if the CEO wanted to go that way, he’d quickly be replaced.
It’s a self sustaining movement of capital now and users are annoyances that they have to deal to achieve their goals.
I’ll be honest, I started using redding decade ago because most forums were very niche, specific, with weird to follow rules, very low on users, and reddit seemed to always have a community for each topic I had an interest on. It still does, but the end is approaching fast, and I don’t want to search Discord servers, social media videos, or even ancient methods that are alternatives like IRC servers, mailing lists ; search results are useless in Google due to SEO and already affect other search engines
It all comes up to finding one or more sites that don’t look ancient or too mobile focused, and if enough people are going to use it and stick to it. Otherwise it’ll just be another corner of the web filled with a few crazy users
Small instances don’t seem to require anything major, I’m running mine on a VM with 4c/6gb ram/256gb disk with no issues- it’s just a few Docker pods. Just make sure you use a dynamic DNS provider if you’re hosting from home, as valid SSL is required to connect to the federation.
