meldroc , to nostupidquestions in Will there really be a big influx of users on the 30th?

Not gonna be a sudden exodus.

More that Reddit’s entered a slow death spiral. Redditors will start seeing an upsurge in toxicity, since mods will have left, been replaced with stooges, had their tools taken away, and most of the good mods will have abandoned ship.

Some may come here. Some may move on to Discord or other social media. Some will stick it out on Reddit, but notice that bots and trolls are taking over, whatever moderators are left can’t or won’t keep up, and the admins are seemingly asleep at the switch.

In a few months, discourse there will have assumed Youtube quality, with bots shouting down human discourse, and trolls scaring anyone remotely normal away. They’ll limp along like that for years.

Like Twitter.

cerevant , to nostupidquestions in What do I do with the !community@instance links?

They are only really useful for getting an instance to federate an off instance community- you paste that form in the search box, and usually a few minutes later you can access the community.

If you want to have a link to a community, use just ‘/c/[email protected]’ - even if the instance is the one you are on. That way it will work wherever you are logged in. example is a link to ‘/c/[email protected]

I haven’t found a way to link posts or comments that are instance portable- if anyone knows of a way, I’d love to hear it.

tonamel ,

Unfortunately that link doesn't work on kbin, which uses /m/ instead of /c/

Hopefully we'll get patches in the future that will link the ! format correctly no matter what software or instance we're using.

cerevant ,

This is one reason I don't use Kbin - it seems to have pointlessly chosen its own terminology just to distinguish itself from Lemmy which makes it less useful.

Thanks.

I just replaced the c in the link with m and it worked. Thank you this thread.

Yeah, those don't work from kbin. None of the links I've found in c/newcommunities works for me. Am patiently waiting for whatever the problem is to be resolved.

cerevant ,

Yeah, kbin decided to create its own conventions rather than being compatible with Lemmy. I'm hoping they'll rethink that.

postscarce , to youshouldknow in YSK: You can see which instances your home instance is federated with and which they've defederated/blocked by going to "/instances"

Is there anything like this for kbin?

Otome-chan ,
@Otome-chan@kbin.social avatar

kbin federates with everyone, and blocks no one :)

spiritedpause OP ,

Is this referring to kbin.social, or do all kbin instances work this way?

Otome-chan ,
@Otome-chan@kbin.social avatar

just kbin.social. all kbin instances federate with everyone and block no one by default but instance owners can intentionally defederate/block if they so choose. afaik kbin.social's policy is to not defederate/block (at least the admin here hasn't mentioned anything yet). I haven't heard of other kbin instances defederating at all though, but most are so small to not even be noteworthy.

PixxlMan ,

That's identical to Lemmy...

just grabbed god of war, disco elysium, and hellblade senuas sacrifice...

as far as recommendations go, Mass Effect legendary edition and dragon age are very enjoyable if you like RPG with a focus on lore, story and characters. Red Dead Redemption 2 is a wonder and a steal at $20. Witcher 3 for $12. Horizon Zero Dawn for $16.50

Zorque ,

So many hidden gems.

ANuStart ,

This comment made me sharply exhale cocaine chunks

Hyperreality ,

Red dead 2 is available for less elsewhere.

IRC Witcher 3 is available for the same price on GOG, DRM free. Same goes for Disco Elysium.

TLDR: do your research. Other stores do offers during the steam summer sale

eu ,

I love GOG and their anti-DRM stance but I just can't bring myself to buy games there when they don't even have a native Linux launcher. Steam, on the other hand, just works.

Hellebert , to gaming in Steam Summer Sale: Hidden Gem/ Recommendations thread

I don't have any games to recommend but I wanted to thank people here for some actually good suggestions. I feel like I've been taken for a bit of a ride at that other place by shills in similar threads compared to this.

While possible, it’s also possible Janeway is just fucking with him and where Chakotay hides his booze is an open secret.

That conversation was in the elevator, and Chakotay had just said he wasn’t going to talk about what the experience was like because of the temporal prime directive.

It can be spammy at times though. For example, I had to unfollow the hashtag because it was mostly bots posting YouTube links.

RxBrad ,

True, it depends on the hashtag. Stuff like & have worked out well for me.

is just a barrage of Youtube spam & people saying that they're streaming on Twitch.

How do you follow a hashtag? Tried searching under communities but didn't return anything.

Reil , to technology in Anyone else frustrated by cross contamination from Youtube, Youtube Music and Youtube shorts?

I wish I could at least separate my likes list by content type. I hit like/dislike on shorts way more frequently than long-form videos to train that algorithm, but when I go into that list, I'm usually trying to find a long-form video from a while back.

SamC , to startrek in Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 2x03 "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow"

I enjoyed the episode. I think what makes SNW stand out for me is the characters. All the main crew are interesting, likeable characters, and that for me is generally a key ingredient for great Star Trek.

It has been quite a weird opening to the season. We haven’t had the crew together on the bridge (or even the ship) for 3 whole episodes. I’m guessing there was a real world reason for this (i.e. availability of the cast), but kind of hoping the next episode is a bit more “normal”.

Also, given that Kirk features, it was a missed opportunity to open with “Personal log: We’ve. Travelled. Back in Time…” without further explanation.

StillPaisleyCat ,
@StillPaisleyCat@startrek.website avatar

I don’t think we’re going to see in this show any Starfleet officers committing information to personal logs that could threaten history.

SNW seems very conscious that personal logs aren’t entirely personal beyond access.

Una recorded and deleted her personal log acknowledging she is Illyrian in season one.

Later shows in the continuity have revealed to us that some personal logs to become available to next of kin, or are even studied by future Starfleet personnel.

Having Uhura pointedly resist providing the personal logs to La’an in ‘Ad Astra Per Aspera’ also underscored to us that it’s the ethics of communications officers that protect privacy.

Kichae , to fediverse in How do I deal with "fractured" communities?

Subscribing to 10 technology communities will likely get you a much, much more vibrant experience than just subbing to r/technology. People actually, you know, discuss things in smaller spaces, rather than just drop drive-by comments that no one will ever read.

HangoverTuesday ,

Or it'll get you a dozen dupes of every submission.

ashley ,

As Lemmy grows, communities on certain servers will die out and some will accumulate all the users. I think the problem will die out eventually.

Though, I think there should be some way to migrate users of a community to a new server. Sounds hard to implement but maybe doable.

Tarkcanis , to explainlikeimfive in ELI5: If you're a Christian, why do you have to be good if Jesus will forgive you no matter what?

Seems to me this is a protestant thing, i grew up Catholic and repentance was a major part of it. You don’t change and become a better person? Then no absolution for you.
