Keep a small Windows partition if you play any of those games with anti-cheat that don’t allow Linux.
Otherwise, almost everything else just works with Proton. It’s a lovely age.

My two favorite distros as well.
Mint Cin is a solid first distro. UI feels a lot like Windows and gives a comfy environment to learn in.
Pretty sure there have been a few spam bot/latent bot purges over the last month on multiple instances. I remember people discussing them a little while back. And it was a ton of bots.
So part of what you’re seeing is normalization, as the user numbers were always artificially inflated with bots.
Our definition of spam may be different. I think of it on a personal level as “this guy / bot just cross-posted the same thing to five different communities within two minutes.” Others wouldn’t define that as spam.
OP said this happened in Utah, so maybe so!
Connect for Lemmy has a block instances feature. No idea how well it works though
Instantly, completely, and perfectly. I know because I accidentally blocked my home instance (.world), and I had NOTHING on my local page. Took a few moments to figure out how to unblock it lol
I’ve found it much more effective to ban the spam posters / bot posters in general, instead of communities. That catches the worst of it and mostly eliminates all of the cross posting.
NSFW content has an enable/disable toggle check box in the settings. Sounds like you’ve got it turned off.
The tech exec who eats exactly 1,977 calories a day
No, he doesn’t.
It’s pretty much impossible to calculate EXACT calories in food you’re eating, as various foods types will have variations that are slightly larger or smaller than normal, even if you’re being meticulous with a food scale. You can get a pretty close margin, yes, but to definitively say “I eat exactly X calories every day” is a silly statement.
Maybe “My daily calorie target is X” or “I try to average X calories per day in my diet,” but you can’t be precise to the calorie.
This was posted on Mastodon.world. The same gentleman runs Lemmy.world.
Feel your pain. I’m constantly thinking, what the hell do I have to do to get r/orioles to follow me over to Lemmy to grow the numbers? They are one of the only things left at Reddit that I regularly look at. But 99% of the mod and user base there just doesn’t care about the the issue.
Conversely, that means that at least sports spaces are among the least bot-spammed places on Reddit. So there’s that.
Please definitely don’t be discouraged in the slightest, TPM.
Single-game forums were almost always the smallest gaming subreddits on Reddit, often times being several orders of magnitude smaller than the “gaming in general” communities.
But that special feeling of having other people passionate about that specific game you love can’t be beat. Hang in there, and you’ll definitely grow and get that engagement in time.
Leaving this site as well, as it keeps a mention as to whether an instance is currently allowing open sign ups or not.
Note: Even if an instance isn’t currently allowing open sign ups, they may have another sign up method going on in the background (like application/approval sign ups). If you’re interested in the instance, you should still check, just don’t expect quick/instant approval.
Hmmm… the admins said today on this post chain (at about 10a UTC) that they were going to making a blog post regarding this issue.
So hopefully more clarification will be coming. At this point they’ve heard from enough users to know that there’s pointed disagreement with federating with Threads for more than a nanosecond after they become visible.
Agreed. Ruud has done a lot of great things for .world in its short time, but I don’t agree with his decision on this… I do hope he changes his mind.
There’s no need to “give Meta a chance,” they’ve already demonstrated who they are time and again. And I don’t want to end up having to leave .world in the future because the traditional Fediverse split in two, and .world is on the wrong side of it.
I don’t think it’s a question yet. I’ve seen several people say today that Threads doesn’t have federation enabled. It’s possible that they’ll want to stay in their own walled-off ecosystem.
But I do think it would be prudent to have a plan of attack ready to go to cut them off immediately if they ever change their minds about that. Every respectable instance in the Fediverse should.
I don’t know what their intentions are in full, but they certainly won’t be good from our perspective. We came here to free ourselves from corporate shackles, not bind ourselves back up in them.
I’m not sure how accurate that part of the stat page is, given we have very little usage data compiled into a short sample size, during a time of high growth.
Most people don’t know that the lemmy.world instance was only started on June 1 or June 2 this year, and is only a little more than a month old. A month of crazy growth to become the most popular Lemmy instance that fast, with more growth likely to come.
I hear good things about Chimera OS feeling a lot like Steam OS when you’re trying to get a similar experience for laptops, if that’s what you’re going for.
