I just use reddit for basic news on specific products I'm looking forward to, and the occasional time I need to search a specific question on it.

After trying out Lemmy, I used a script to delete mass edit/delete all my stuff in reddit, deleted the account, and never went back. I find no enjoyment in commenting on reddit anymore so it was an easy decision.

I agree Lemmy has a long way to go, but I only see it getting better from here which is enough for me to stick with it.

Now that you mention it though, communities do kinda feel empty. Not as in a lack of users/content, but that theres nothing in them that try to promote discussion like "weekly discussions" you would see on reddit. Its more or less entirely some random post by someone, or a news post.

As someone who only cares about news and the discussion around that news, Lemmy satisfies me pretty well. But for people who want a more social experience (probably most people), Lemmy begins to fall apart quickly.

Right now, I think the memes community is really the only active social one.

As the others said, very good game that will definitely be a fun time in co op. 100% the game is no joke though, but not required if you prefer to keep it more casual.

You will get downvoted in any disagreement, that's not exclusive to reddit or Lemmy, that happens in any social media with downvotes.

The purpose of downvotes is to show what the general people in that common section think about your comment. You shouldn't give any hoot about it other than the info it provides.

Obviously, if you are talking in controversal topics or ones with conflicting sides, you are gonna see alot of downvotes. Its just people expressing their opinion.

Echo chambers are just a natural part of communities. People often come to feel validated so they stick to ones with the same thoughts as them. I don't recommend trying to argue/discuss with people who only want to "win" cuz there's nothing to gain.

Talk with those who argue because they want to learn or understand something better. (or perhaps help you learn something new)

Reddit isnt dead yet, and it will be much harder for youtube to die. Kinda hard to make creators move when its their job, and without them moving, there is no chance of any progress occuring.

Right now, the best thing they can do is host their content on youtube AND other alternatives like Odyssey. This lets them make the same money they always had, but also gives people an option to watch it somewhere else. Unfortuately, your average youtuber is completely clueless about this option and so you mainly only see tech people doing it with only a few exceptions here and there.

As the other guy said, its basically firefox but with really strong defaults out of the box. Its a good easy solution for the majority of people who want a browser that gets the job done.

I install it, get a dark mode extension, maybe change the search engine if I dont like it (Default was DuckDuckGo, but I believe that changed) and im ready to start browsing. Deleting all cookies and history every time I close it is also very nice. (Though you can make exceptions if you like)

Looks good, but I dont see a reason why I would use it over librewolf tbh.

Just learned about the removal of port forwarding. Damn this sucks.

General rule of thumb is to update luma before performing a system update. If the luma version is old, then it wont support the latest 3ds update and wont boot to the home menu.

This doesnt mean its bricked, but that you are now forced to take out your sd card and update luma to boot to the home menu properly.

So just update luma, then do a system update and you are good. Worst case is that it fails to boot, you update luma on your sd card, and then boot just fine anyways.

Im sure it will change overtime. With the huge spike of users, I think the thumbnails is probably not their top priority right now lol

This instance already had to upgrade their hardware to keep up.

This makes me wonder if its better to post in the general Nintendo one, or in the more specific ones.

In reddit, it made more sense to post in the specific subreddits because there was enough people.

But if there isnt enough, should people just post on the main one instead?

As someone who doesnt mind 30fps, there shouldnt be games running at 30 on new gen hardware anymore lol

Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky had poor reviews on IGN so I decided to give it a shot and it became one of my favorite games of all time.
