Oh gods, no. That thing is…

Evolving it doesn’t make it any better, either.

I’ve been explaining it as countries/international travel. Lemmy is a country, Mastodon is a country, you can travel freely between them but you need a passport. Each service has it’s own government whose rules you have to abide. Lemmy instances are like states (or provinces or what have you), where you can just… freely travel between them. Each instance has it’s own local government whose rules you have to abide. Communities are like cities/towns, with their own small local government whose rules you have to abide… etc, etc.

You can have multiple emails with them, you simply can’t be signed in to more than one at a time without their premium plan. Think like Google with it’s account swither. Multiple accounts can be logged in and you can hot-swap between them without having to re-login every time. That’s the premium feature for Proton mail.

Strong choices all around. Dark type is definitely in my top five, and I love Mightyena. I think it’s easy to sleep on, since you get access to Poochyena literally right out of the gate, but it’s a seriously tough Pokémon.

There definitely is a DM system in Lemmy. From the website, if you click on a user there’s a “Send Message” option, and your notifications has a Messages section. I just don’t think it’s implemented in Jerboa.

Soul Calibur is my jam. That, and Mortal Kombat. Never played competitively, I’m not that good. Just good enough to beat all my friends, lol.

Absolutely trash at Smash, though. I don’t think I’ve ever won a single game.

Finding a good photo editing software has been the biggest hurdle for me in using Linux daily. I used to run a dual-boot with Win10 and Linux, but it’s been a few years since then and I still haven’t found anything I really like using as much as I do CaptureOne. 🥲

100% OpenSUSE Tumbleweed now, and I won’t be going back… Just a shame major software companies don’t give Linux much love.

Baba is You is an absolute delight, and if you enjoy logic puzzles at all I cannot recommend it enough.

The three gaming YouTubers I watch most right now are Hutts, ProJared, and jacksepticeye.

None of them take themselves too seriously, and love a good laugh. There’s a mix of long form and short form content there, but it’s all unscripted and most of it is largely unedited.

I’m just using the stock keyboard… 😅 I have two languages enabled at the moment. I can try disabling one and seeing if that makes a difference.

EDIT: No change. Tried disabling the emoji key, still no dice. And it’s on any website, not just Lemmy. So strange.

When I try it with Firefox (ver. 113.2.0, on Android 13 Pixel 6) I can’t get my keyboard to work? If I pull up lemmy.ml on the FireFox browser, and go to create a post, I can type all day long and be fine. When I use the “Install to…” To put the page on my home screen like an app, then try and create a post my keyboard flickers on screen for a second and disappears. No clue why.

It does this with other website-as-an-app things (I don’t know what to actually call them) too, not just Lemmy.

What a joke… All the more reason I’m glad I left that ecosystem.

Totodile! It’s just so lovable. And I’ve got a loooooot of good memories with Pokémon Gold. ☺️

I definitely have been! I’m mostly active in [email protected] and [email protected] right now, trying to branch out and do more across the website Fediverse. :)

Personally, so far I adore it. It doesn’t scratch that… Endless content consumption itch that Reddit did. There are a lot less users, so there’s a lot less “fresh” content piling up on my home feed for me to scroll through and huff air out my nose at.

It’s been a bit of an adjustment, but now that I’m more used to it it’s definitely a welcome change. I find myself actively engaging more instead of just scrolling by, contributing instead of lurking.

Welcome to Lemmy!
