Probably not technically true because podcasts use RSS

I have an account that I use to read, but I’ve never posted on Mastodon. Decided to tweet after seeing this post and I see a privacy option called “Quiet Public - Fewer Algorithmic Fanfares”.

Seriously, wtf is this? What does that even mean? If techie people like me can’t figure out Mastodon then you can’t expect the general public to do that. I’m not blaming this feature in particular, but Mastodon is quirky in all the wrong ways.

How can it connect to access points without a password? Every wifi/hotspot has passwords on by default.

Lack of people is genuinely nice for now as Lemmy is still lacking moderation features

It’s not good at displaying anime fansubs if they have complex typesetting. I have to use MPC-HC + madVR. Sadly those fansub styles are a dying breed…

Is there an “Xbox One only games not present on any other platforms” list because Halo 5 is playable on a Series console.

“Basic”

I’m still not sure what the fuck I just read

Tasker? It’s provided an alternative for several years, it is literally the only paid app I know which does this.

Chole and rajma are goated

One of the skulls in Halo 3 was found by hackers in game scripts, a decent number of secrets in the indie game Fez were found by reverse engineering or brute force. Not to mention game guides in even older days.

So no it’s not really always been “shrouded in doubt and mystery”.

RIP touch typing

Give that tester a raise bro

Didn’t he just win the Euros at 17

Honestly at this point there’s a fairly large number of instances so yours would need a selling point to even begin. And that’s before taking things like owner behaviour and strictness into consideration because the instance theme and tools will always be the first impression.

“Generic catch all instances” are common. You can only build up a user base if existing people are willing to ditch their own. What are yours doing that the current ones do not?

• Do you have a focus on a particular topic? I would consider posting a beautiful photo that I took on an instance dedicated to photography rather than the catch all one.
• Is your UI unique/pretty? Which leads me to the next point…
• Do you offer certain tools available/unique to your instance? 1) If yes, why can’t they be integrated with base lemmy? It’s open source after all. 2) If no for whatever reason (Lemmy devs slow to respond, low on their priority, will not accept, I don’t agree with their behaviour etc) is there a reason it cannot be included on other existing instances? Why is it exclusive to yours?

And then I would start looking at the details like what would uptime be, how much are you yourself making an effort to contribute and expand, etc

Nginx is owned by F5 now which is an American company so it’s not RU anymore

That line isn’t going to recover for a while now

Amos was goated
