I bet you have turned on the don’t show bots option in settings, and you’ve gotten 7 replies from bots.

Or the reply has set different language (even if it’s written in English) then what you have enabled in profile settings.

HobbitFoot , to asklemmy in What is the current state of Lemmy?

Lemmy has been stable on users since the Reddit Exodus, which is probably good because I don’t see Lemmy in its current form able to handle growth.

Onboarding new users is a hassle unless those users know someone already on Lemmy to act as a guide. This is just going to push more people to default instances.

I think that the developers need to shift to a more distributed method of developing an open source project, including stakeholder input on what to develop next.

People complain about moderation, but I feel like a decent problem had been in distributing ownership of instances across several people and developing policy from that.

If Lemmy were to grow, it would likely grow as a fork.

GhostTheToast , to asklemmy in What email provider do you use? Would you recommend it?

Purely Mail, yes; so long as you’re comfortable with one guy running the service.

Thunderbird for desktop and K-9 for Andriod. Only because they were the most recommended and completely fit my needs.

CetaceanNeeded ,

Purely Mail has been a good experience for me so far.

I love arch, but i’m planning on moving to atomic fedora eventually, but I use a bunch of niche things because i’m an early adopter, plus installing hyprland isn’t easy right now

i’ll switch to fedora atomic when pwvucontrol, tofi, hyprland, hyprland-autoname-workspaces, citrix workspace (work necessary), notiflut-land, bato, wljoywake, wayland-pipewire-idle-inhibit, ananicy-cpp, easyeffects, wl-mirror, gtk3-classic, keyd, iwgtk, qtalarm, kvantum and subliminal are all available, haven’t checked which are yet

couple of those (pwvucontrol and notiflut-land) aren’t even in the AUR yet so it’ll be a while.

Sometimes I get that too, you can try sorting by unread and then go through the various tabs. Or press the “mark all as read” button and hope it goes away

I use TeamViewerfor sporadic IT support and it does it fine.

I mean you can’t really go throwing soup around and expect everyone to be ok with it. Anyway protesters get arrested all the time, it’s kinda the point.

I’m not sure if they are the best, but two good ones I know of.

Nomachine

RustDesk

And if some reason your using windows. Just use RDP.

@retrospectology@lemmy.world avatar

RDP is kind of limited because it’s a virtual session. It’s useful if you only need to do stuff while you’re actively connected but you can’t, for example, remote in and start an app or process going and then disconnect and have that app continue. When you d/c your profile is essentially logged out. Your activity also can’t be viewed by a user on the remote system, if you needed to collaborate or assist somehow.

UltraVNC has worked ok for me for windows systems. It has some of that open-source clunk to the UI, but is pretty straight forward and does what I need.

What do you mean by logged out if you disconnect? I disconnect and leave sessions logged in all the time.

Sure you can, I do this all the time on the work RDP server. Maybe you need to tweak your group policy so it doesn’t kick you out right away.

When you d/c your profile is essentially logged out.

Nope, depends on what group policy you configured. If you’ve never configured that before as a starter launch gpedit.msc (with admin privileges) and head to Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Remote Desktop Services / Remote Desktop Session Host / Session Time Limits. The other settings in there are also useful for other things you may want to configure.

Your activity also can’t be viewed by a user on the remote system, if you needed to collaborate or assist somehow.

Yes this is true, the only way to do that is to have admin privileges on the host and then take over that user session. But of course that’s not collaboration, that’s just you taking a user’s current session without them being able to see what you’re doing.

On Windows the official way to do that is via Quick Assist (on Windows 10, not sure if it got renamed on Windows 11), it’s sort of a shared RDP session where both the user and the remote user can share the same session. I’ve never needed to use it myself - with the work system users are pretty content with just having me “fix” whatever they needed without them watching, they usually don’t care how to fix the problem themselves LOL.

otter ,

RustDesk says that it’s compatible with Windows. Is RDP better still?

Unmapped ,

Depends on use case. If your trying to remoting to a friends PC to help them do something. Rustdesk.

If your remoting to your own PC. Say connecting to a windows machine at home from your work computer. RDP.

Also as others have mentioned. Best to use RDP through something like tailscale or zerotier. So you don’t have to open a port for it.

otter ,

Thank you!

I exclusively use windows

Its good, we got a good sized userbase and the software is getting better and better. We will grow as the fediverse grows.

yakbone , to asklemmy in Best Free remote desktop software for windows?

I like Tailscale and regular RDP.

LostMonkey ,

This. I left TeamViewer after they flagged me as commercial. I’ve been using them for my home computers and 3d printers for ever. Now I do rust desk

hddsx ,

FOSS or freeware?

Well the first thing it says on their website is „the open source alternative to teamviewer“

TeamViewer, not a fan of the new interface, but it functions well.

I use it to help multiple family members.
