  • I just think the mass deletion of content is such a loss for the internet as a whole. I wish instead of people supporting deleting Reddit comments, there was a way for individuals to upload a history of their comments onto a Lemmy instance. I just think deleting all of your reddit contribution is a massive loss for the Internet, regardless of the significance of the contribution.







  • I have played retail World of Warcraft on my steam deck without locking it to 40hz. It was satisfactory while flying around in Valdrakken and in the few quests I did. I was surprised at how well it performed. I can’t say anything about playing a pet class or addons not working, but the controlls with the controller addon worked great and my fps never fell below a threshold that was annoying, and I’m pretty senesitive to fram rate issues in games. It DID get really hot if you touched it in the wrong spots but it does thst for lots of games I play, if you stick to the handles it doesnt get too hot to play.








  • A lot of people in this thread are missing the point. Yes, there are explanations to how to use the fediverse but what this individual is lamenting is that it’s so confusing that it took them two days to get to the point of posting for help, whereas on Reddit it would have taken them 10 minutes. The steep learning curve is going to stifle the growth of lemmy.

    An argument can be made that those who are unwilling to learn the way that the fediverse works are important because it’s simply a process of “weeding out” individuals to keep the communities great. I would argue that this argument fails to understand the point of the fediverse altogether, that if you don’t like one community there are plenty of others that can be moderated to your particular standards. Also, if individuals are unable to learn Lemmy quickly enough to begin using it, they’ll simply go to one of the corporate-owned social media sites. There needs to be a way for Lemmy to help new users integrate easier, rather than them having to create posts like this asking the community how to simply subscribe to a page they want to browse. Lemmy is amazing and I’ve really enjoyed it and am excited for its prospects, but it’s got a long way to go in terms of user-friendliness before it can truly become what we all want it and know it can be- a viable alternative to corporate-owned social media.
