This post makes the Beehaw admins look really bad, to be honest. Personally, I had not even really noticed any big differences, so if you hadn't told me I wouldn't even know about them. The small differences that I did notice seem like improvements to me.
However, this post seems to be needlessly criticizing the Lemmy devs without any actual constructive feedback. The post is nothing more than "We would like to make you aware that the experience got worse and you SHOULD BLAME the devs!!" to me. It doesn't help anybody. It just makes you look very unprofessional, entitled and will damage your relation with the Lemmy devs. If you can't code and improve Lemmy yourself that way, that's totally fine. Don't like an update? That fine too! But if you want to be actually helpful and have your voice heard, go to Lemmy's Github page and give the devs constructive feedback. Report bugs when you run into issues or do a feature request for changes you'd like to see. Enter discussions about other bugs/requests. There are so many things you could do without the need to be a programmer.
But don't post a vague complaint to your community, pointing fingers and hoping to get more people angry to pressure the devs into what you want. I came to Beehaw because it promised to be a safespace. A positive place. The fact that an admin posted this complaint here doesn't reflect that idea at all to me.
I really hope you guys can see why this behaviour is not desirable and a one-time thing. Otherwise, I can't keep supporting Beehaw and would have to leave the instance for another, which would be a shame.
On Android, I use AntennaPod. Does everything I want from a podcast app and more.
This looks amazing! I would love to see these implemented/added officially into Beehaw!
That's how I've been starting to see this all as well. The seperate, smaller instances remind me a lot of 00's phpbb forum, but it's with the UX of Reddit. Lastly the intercompatibility feels comparable to e-mail: It doesn't matter that I use gmail and you use Outlook, we can still send eachother an e-mail and both servers will talk to eachother without any issue. It's the some of the best of many worlds and I'm feeling Lemmy and Kbin are here to stay for me.
My last few adventures have been: J-RPG > Farm sim > City Builder.
It's been really fun to explore genres and games that I had not really touched before, both new and old games. It made gaming a lot more fun again
I have, it works great!
FreeTube is what you're looking for. LibreTube, Newpipe and FreeTube can import/export each-others subscriptions too
I used Newpipe for a while on Android, but recently I discovered LibreTube, which is now my favorite Youtube client on Android. It looks a bit more modern and it actually shows you child comments, instead of just the parent comments. I still use Newpipe as a backup, though.
On desktop, I either use FreeTube, MPV (Pairs great together with Qutebrowser or ytfzf) or simply Firefox with extensions.
Also, I only just noticed that Lemmy actually loads in newly posted comments live in the thread, without the need to reload the page. Very nice!
I agree. I'm still hoping some subreddits will move over to Lemmy, but I'm really enjoying Lemmy anyhow. The Lemmy communities seem generally really positive so far and there is enough content for me to enjoy. It even helps with reducing my time lost on the internet while still providing me with the community and information-influx that I enjoy. Quality over quantity. I also really love the idea of the technical parts: federated, open source and self-hostable.
Same for me, most of my favorite games nowadays are indies. Like Valheim, Stardew Valley and more
Looks very good! It reminds me of Ni No Kuni Wrath of the White Witch.
As a big fan of My Analog Journey, I felt like sharing this one here. They have great music sets in many different genres of music, with many guest DJ's. This keeps it very fresh and it has led to me discovering a lot of new songs. This set is one of my favorites, especially on days with nice weather (like today here)
Those games might be worth checking out, it's a very different experience than online multiplayer shooters. But maybe shooters just aren't your thing at all, which is okay as well :) If you need more game-recommendations, both shooters and non-shooters, I'm happy to scroll though my Steam list and gather some more for you!
No, I don't and I haven't felt the need to buy one either. For the few times that I do need a car I'm lucky enough to have family living close by that is always happy to let me use their cars. But even if I didn't have family living close-by renting a car a few times a year is probably way cheaper in my case than buying and maintaining my own car. Owning a car does have some advantages, but in my case I think the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. Disadvantages are things like: Extra costs for buying the car, maintenance, parking and insurance. Taking up extra space in a crowded city and bad for my health if I get too much used too it.
I would buy one if I really needed one for a job, but so far I really don't need it (and I could always still buy a car if I do need it more often).
I get 90%+ of my trips around by walking and biking, occasionally by public transport and only a few times per year I need a car. Living in the Netherlands.
I think Guacamelee hasn't been mentioned yet.
There are also a lot of amazing Lego games that are fun for all ages. I really enjoyed Lego Lord of the Rings myself
What about games like Half Life or Metro? I don't like most mutiplayer shooters either, but storydriven singleplayer games can be great imo
Complete dealbreaker for me. You'll never actually own games with such models, as you are completely dependand on the publisher. Once they pull the plug, you can't play the game you paid for. Server probleem? Sorry, you can't play right now. Traveling? Sorry, can't play.
It is also generally bad for modding and the overall user experience. These kind of games often have DRM that don't allow for modding
