I'm someone who hated season 1. Season 3 is worth the watch and feels like a great coda to TNG. It's almost like an extended reimagining of "All Good Things" which also ties up a few loose ends from the movies and dedicates more time to showing how the characters have grown as people and, in some cases, parents.
There are some moments where it feels like Discovery or prior Picard, but not enough to weigh down the show.
I'm so glad to see this community make a big push onto Lemmy! We're making internet history and boldly going where no one has gone before!
There's a variety of drinks and ingredients which behave like Elder Scrolls' alchemy system, but there's no spell-slinging or fantasy monsters. The setting is a semi-historical portrayal of medieval Bohemia.
I thought Kingdom Come: Deliverance came pretty close to delivering that "Bethesda-style" immersive RPG experience.
Truly the most terrifying rationale they could have used for their decision.
Awesome, this is super helpful! I'd be using a very similar setup. It might be best to start small, invite a couple people on, and see how that memory scales. I'll be avoiding any auto-scaling unless it becomes a much bigger project.
How much headroom do you have left on that? I'm considering starting up a public instance and would love to get an estimate for per-user workload on a federated instance.
I've been on Matrix and Mastodon for a number of years, but I'm new to Lemmy. Matrix is already better than competitors like Discord, in my opinion. It has a healthy pool of users including several major tech organizations.
I've never been too active on Mastodon for the same reason I never got into Twitter. I just don't enjoy "microblogging," and prefer mediums that are more oriented towards actual conversation. Lemmy does an excellent job in that respect.
You're right! The front page of Reddit is nearly 8x larger than Lemmy.ml, and took almost 7x longer to load than Lemmy.
Uncached loading results:
Lemmy: 3.3 MB, 39 requests in 1.85 seconds
Old Reddit: 6.3 MB, 60 requests in 4.53 seconds
New Reddit: 24.5 MB, 351 requests in 12.21 seconds
When "New" Reddit came out, it was just shockingly bad. If they didn't keep old.reddit.com online, they would have killed the site then. Until very recently I couldn't even view all child comments within the main thread, and it still takes at least twice as long to load any page.
Coming to Lemmy has been a breath of fresh air. The site is much more responsive than Reddit despite most instances running on a single VPS or something.
I think the big Mastodon push last year has made things a little bit easier for Lemmy. Basic awareness of the fediverse has broken into the mainstream of social media, rather than being a niche interest of Free Software enthusiasts.
Now that Lemmy's gotten this initial nudge of mainstream support, I'll be far more engaged here than I ever was on Reddit.
