$19 billion seems high.

I’m new to Lemmy and am pretty confused by a problem I seem to be having; I created a bunch of communities here on lemmy.world, but I’m having a weird issue with the naming of them, and I wonder if you all might be able to help. I tried messaging the admins of Lemmyworld but haven’t gotten a reply.

The communities I created look like completely normal remote communities to me from across the fediverse here from lemmy.pt, but I see that from inside lemmy.world, they have names that include lemmy.world.

For example, this board /c/wine - from my end it looks normal (https://lemmy.pt/c/wine@lemmy.world) but from inside lemmy.world it’s not got a /c/wine URL, instead it’s https://lemmy.world/c/wine@lemmy.world - which apparently breaks /c/wine links from inside lemmy.world.

I created like 10 other communities that are exhibiting the same problem.

It… seems like posts still get back and forth okay, but I’m at a loss to explain how this happened (I didn’t name the communities foo@lemmy.world when I created them), and I’m unsure how big of a problem it is. I don’t seem to be able to rename the URL component nor can I now create communities with the same name without the @lemmy.world part. My ability to do anything with the mod tools seems nonexistent.

It seems to be causing issues for some users however as I keep getting DMs about it.

If you have any suggestions on how to proceed, I’m all ears. Thanks!

I can’t say I’m shocked, but I am disappointed. But at the same time - Lemmy/Kbin is the answer. This is the way.

This is an incredibly selfish, dipshit move. They’re trying to prioritise the growth of their own instance at the expense of Lemmy and the Fediverse as a whole, at a time when we should all be banded together to accept the massive influx of departing Redditors.

[-] sparky@lemmy.pt 29 points 1 year ago

I think this is very disappointing, and exceptionally selfish, to split up some of the largest Lemmy communities while a mass Reddit exodus is ongoing. We should be sticking together and trying to grow the Fediverse as a whole, rather than trying to wall off any one single community at this point. That said, I hope this is the end of this approach, and that smaller instances, particularly ones that support a particular community won’t be pushed aside as well (hello from Lemmy Portugal).

It is rather disappointing, to say the least. I was reading /r/technology and there are a ton of posts to the tune of, fuck you, I just want my official Reddit app to work. It really bums me out, but I guess the silver lining is that those scabs are exactly the trash we probably don’t want on Lemmy.

[-] sparky@lemmy.pt 26 points 1 year ago

I’m all-in on Lemmy and hope you all will stick around too. I blew away my Reddit account and all my post history today.

Looking at this thread in r/technology, it sure looks like most of the newer Redditors were just pissed by the blackout and don’t care about Reddit’s changes. That suggests to me that Reddit is beyond saving.

[-] sparky@lemmy.pt 43 points 1 year ago

Fuck Reddit. But honestly I’m less and less invested with each passing day. I re-opened Apollo today and it’s already starting to feel old, foreign. I guess that means Lemmy is home now.

Olá, Portugal! Vamos fazer algumas apresentações da comunidade. De onde vocês são, o que fazem como carreira e o que esperam encontrar aqui no Lemmy?

[-] sparky@lemmy.pt 41 points 1 year ago

This is amazing news. I’m thinking we’ve reached critical mass where it’s going to be self sustaining and worth using.

This could be great news for the Mac gamers among us! Could the new Mac Studio be a viable gaming rig? Time will tell - I actually have one on order myself and will report back with benchmarks once I'm up and running!

This means that the $3,999 Mac Studio configuration with this chip outperforms the $3,299 super high end CPU offered by AMD - and we’re comparing a whole computer to just a processor without motherboard, memory or graphics card here. A very compelling desktop offering for pro users!

We're a board for polyglots, language learners, linguists and anyone interested in human languages.

AFAIK yes, but until Spez conveniently ruined his site, Lemmy had like 2% of the user base it just gained. Jerboa is even made by the Lemmy developers IIRC. So now that the usage has spiked, I’m sure there are other developers thinking about it. Hell, I’m considering building an iOS app myself!

Using a Fluance rt85 plus an Ortofon 2M blue personally. Great, full sound with especially vibrant mids and treble!

You may have seen the WWDC news about Apple's new Game Porting Kit , which among other things, can run Windows/DirectX 12 games, ostensibly to let developers test drive their games to encourage them to port to macOS.

Fortunately for us, said tool is actually built on WINE/Crossover, Apple forked it and built a bunch of patches to map DirectX onto Metal.

Introducing Whisky, an open-source app that wraps the Game Porting Kit much like Crossover wraps WINE, allowing you to run many Windows games that previously didn't work with such a setup.

You need to be running the macOS Sonoma beta to actually use this. Here's how to do that.
