No way am I going to pre-order a game in this era of half baked releases and especially not a game from Bethesda which is as well known for their rampant bugs as their compelling gameplay

Jumping on to this. We've gotten into ebikes and they are borderline life changing

I would recommend giving them a try to almost everyone and they can be a really good alternative to driving your gas guzzling car without needing to drop on an electric one

We've been working with a landscaper that specializes in native and edible plants. We've removed a lot of highly invasive plants that were previously growing out of control (although it's a constant fight to keep them away) and replaced them with fruit trees and native flowers.

We've also been trying to replace the grass in our yard with clover

I have wanted to try Fedora. Maybe I should just try them all and see how it goes lol

How I wish this saga would end already

Hell yeah. Instant subscribe

Yeah I've ordered from them before and have never heard of any issues personally

Yeah I have a lot of experience with Ubuntu but I was wondering if there were any more optimal distros for gaming.

But I'm glad you mentioned Nvidia cause I have an Nvidia graphics card so that might be an issue for me

Yeah that's a good point about hardware cause it might not perform as well with Linux drivers

There's a big difference between hosting single user servers vs public servers though. If it's just for you then you can do whatever you want with it and it can be a lot of fun (until something breaks that is)

I like how Beehaw is doing it. Slowly introducing new servers as there is demand for it.

It's definitely a new concept for people. I've been on Mastodon for a while so I'm already used to the idea of multiple instances

I think over time more people will figure it out and it won't be so confusing. Like how people intuitively understand that if you have a Gmail account you can still send emails to people on Outlook

Unfortunately searching for it is probably the best way.

It is a little annoying but this is a common problem with federated social media services since links to content on different instances redirect to a whole different website.

Some apps like Jerboa have link handling for this built in for some of the larger instances, but It's a tough problem to solve since there could be an unlimited number of Lemmy instances each with their own separate URLs

I really like board games that don't take that long to play. It's a lot easier to rope your friends into a game that takes 30-40 minutes to play and is easy to learn rather than a game that takes 4+ hours.

Some that I've found

• Azul
• Sheriff of Nottingham
• Splendor

This is not an unfounded concern but I don't think it would be as bad as you might think.

If you're interested in a topic, are you more likely to create a new community right away and try to grow it from nothing, or would you first seek out an existing one with quality discussion and an existing userbase first?

While yes, it's possible there could be 100 different eu4 communities spread out across many different instances, in practice it would be difficult to sustain that many separate communities. Especially for niche topics you'd expect that when people want to connect with others they will gravitate towards the most active communities.

If anything I see it as more of an issue for broader topics like gaming since there is a much larger userbase, so it's easier to sustain multiple separate communities spread out across many servers. Already we see this happening with gaming communities on Beehaw and Lemmy.ml. That's not necessarily a bad thing though! Each instance will moderate differently so they can still be unique. Like maybe gaming communities on separate servers that do/don't allow memes for example. If someone doesn't like the vibes on lemmy.ml they can check out beehaw.

And even on Reddit it's not too different. Think about how we have r/games and r/gaming that are both fairly large/popular. They're both about gaming broadly but they're a little different. Meanwhile there's only one large eu4 subreddit.

A lot of it is also the moderation of certain subreddits though that's not easy to replicate elsewhere. For instance most subreddits dedicated to football (soccer) clubs maintain a tier list of journalists based on their reliability and will only allow reputable sources to be posted on the subreddit.

That's quite frankly a lot of bullshit that I would otherwise have to sort through myself to get the same information on transfer movements and news

I think the key thing that will screw them is violating the trust of the volunteer moderator force that basically makes reddit what it is. I don't think reddit appreciates how much of their business relies on a completely volunteer, unpaid workforce.

If the mods decide to quit en masse and and either stop moderating or turn subreddits private on their way out then reddit is done for.

That's basically what it is already on many of the largest subs. Hell they even recycle/repost the same content every 6 months or so

It's way too hard to cut through the search engine optimized spam when googling something now. Especially for product recommendations all you get are random top X lists.

Atlanta resident here and all I can say is I've never seen an issue the city is more united on than the stop cop city movement.
