Would I be decreasing people's operating costs if I just opened an account on example.lol so most of my interaction was on my home instance?

Likely no. If one person on the instance is subscribed to a remote community, everything is synchronized anyways. If no one is subscribed to the remote community then it's probably a very small and low activity community anyways, which means it's a drop in the bucket difference.

And on manual validation for sign-ups

permissions/roles could improve this a lot https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3375#issuecomment-2657753039

Give thumbs up reactions on Github so the devs know what to prioritize

Whatever the hell the equivalent of a subreddit is called.

That's communities. Did you have issues with the communities link at the top of the page? You can switch it to the "All" view.

Also what the other comments said is good too, like for finding a very niche community I'll use https://lemmyverse.net/communities

There's no "main" app. Think about Reddit before the API fees. There used to be a default app.

Which app was this? Reddit's 1st party app? I didn't think it was very popular until they did the API fees, I never used it and I don't know anyone who did. Lemmy's 1st party app is Jerboa.

If you have ideas for how to fix these issues, you should file issues on Github for how to improve

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues (or report the issues to whatever app you're using)

There’s no recommendations feed.

Is https://quiblr.com/ like what you're talking about? https://quiblr.com/understanding_your_private_personalized_feed

What's a good way to explain it then?

[–] Die4Ever@programming.dev 2 points 10 months ago

I think federation being (mostly) invisible is actually part of the problem.

But fediverse platforms go out of their way to hide what they are, and to strip each website of its identity.

In what way? I don't think Lemmy hides anything, the communities and usernames all have the @instancename.com at the end of them.

[–] Die4Ever@programming.dev 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

What can we do?

File issues on the GitHub for how to improve the UX, and put thumbs up reactions on issues so the devs know which issues to prioritize

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues

Or even better, make pull requests if you're a dev

Hidden communities can still be accessed, but don't show up on All unless you subscribe to them.

Well, you can't see posts even if you browse into the community directly. You have to subscribe to the community or else you can't see the posts in it, even if you get a direct link to a post it won't show any comments, and the community won't show up in search results even if you search for the community ID/URL directly.

[–] Die4Ever@programming.dev 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Communities themselves currently do not show up in community search results, this may change in the future; see #2943.

The linked issue was just closed as not planned. Maybe some comments in there could explain how we all want these features to work? The current solution seems a little suboptimal. Maybe hidden communities in search results should have an icon to show they're hidden.

[–] Die4Ever@programming.dev 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

While on the https://leminal.space/ website, open the search page and paste in the community ID or the URL of the community. Give it a few seconds (even if it says no results found, the remote search can take a few seconds longer than that)

I think the remote subscribe feature you were trying to use is still buggy, I've had issues with it before too.

Another 90s song for Throwback Thursday!

Beat Creator! The devastating beat creator!

 

The world first sub 20 minute time in the Super Mario 64 - 16 Star category blindfolded speedrun has finally been achieved. After 10 Months of restless grinding, 118 days / streams of practice, runs, and more, the most ambitious goal in blindfolded SM64 has finally been broken. Bubzia has broken the previous world record by more than 40 seconds, with a final time of 19 minutes and 43 seconds.

The sub 20 minute barrier is an achievement that many people strive for when they start out speedrunning visually. Bubzia has written speedrunning history by achieving this milestone while entirely blindfolded. More than 7.5 years after his first blindfolded 16 Star speedrun, this is what the speedrun has evolved into.

I am so incredibly happy that I pushed through all the hardships that this challenge has thrown into my face. It has been a really fun blast, there have been so many new viewers to blindfolded speedruns in general, and many sticked to me grinding this challenge daily for the last year.

I honestly don't have much to say about the run, it can still be improved and maybe I will return one day. But as cliché as it might sound, the much more important part than me breaking this milestone and the world record is the absolutely amazing and kind community that I have. Thank you all so incredibly much!

There will be more blindfolded speedruns in the future, stay tuned! 70 Star will be broken next!

If you don't know what Deus Ex Randomizer is, then here's our trailer which shows a breakdown of how it works:

v3.0 Trailer

Here's a trailer for WaltonWare mode. WaltonWare mode is focused on quick wins by completing a single bingo line, and increasing difficulty after every win. The bingo goals are all scaled to their minimum settings and you start in a random area. All bingo goals will be completable within just a few maps!

  • LAB Nostalgia
  • Laughing and Barking
  • Burn the Mill

But Myspace songs don't work anymore. Anyone know where to get these?

"Laughing and Barking" seems like it was previously called "Laughin and Barfin" here: https://web.archive.org/web/20071230010703/http://www.myspace.com/cylobotnia
