Unperfect One

Some mountains are scaled, others are slain.

I’m a big fan of Reel Knewz on YouTube. They only have about 1.5k subscribers, but they’re the closest thing I’ve found to All Gas No Breaks/Channel 5 since the news came out about Andrew Callaghan.

Just FYI, the developer of Boost is making a version for Lemmy. I’ll definitely be downloading it once it’s available.

Yeah, I stumbled upon that after making my post. It’s still a pretty huge issue to have, IMO.

I’m not particularly impressed, to be honest.

Aside from the performance issues (which I’m sure will be sorted out), the UI is awful. Seriously, how the hell am I supposed to join a community on desktop? The “subscribe” button is just a bit of text!

I understand the idea of the fediverse is to be decentralised, but it just doesn’t make for a great user-experience. The whole thing doesn’t really “click” in the same way reddit does. On top of that, it doesn’t really have a big enough userbase yet. On reddit, big subs like gaming and movies a packed full of users, yet their equivalents seem pretty dead here.

I’m never going to install the official reddit app so I’m sure I’ll be fine with Lemmy on mobile when the performance issues are sorted out, but I’ll probably stick to reddit on desktop.

I’ll definitely be getting a Framework soon. Every laptop I’ve had in the past has eventually failed for some reason or another, but having one I can upgrade and repair should mean it’s the last laptop I ever buy.

Rayquaza. It looks cool, it’s powerful and it has a cool role. What’s not to love? Plus, it’s one of the few Pokémon with a good looking shiny.
