Some people really want lemmy, or the fediverse for that matter, to be reddit. And that’s not a bad thing of its own. But maybe we can let it be what it wants to be.

Personally, I’m fine with Lemmy not completely replacing Reddit, but rather just being a viable alternative for those of us who are tired of Reddit. I’ve only been using Lemmy for a handful of days and I’m already quite happy with it as it is.

I did install all the dependencies. My guess is that I probably made a mistake somewhere while installing them. Regardless, I wasn’t able to get it working, and I didn’t have enough time to really mess with it further.

I might try it again from scratch this weekend if I have time. Maybe try the graphics quality trick if I can’t get Buffout to work, so thank you for that suggestion.

I played a little bit of it, and it definitely does seem like a pretty impressive mod. However, even with Buffout installed, I kept crashing at the train. I’m hoping to revisit it once they’ve managed to put out a patch addressing some of the technical issues.
