I apologize, I have another follow up question (again all stemming from failing to grasp an intuitive understanding of federation) to point 1.
I'm fairly sure I was able to sign on lemmy.cafe and make a post in a community over there.
Basically I am trying to understand why was I able to do that there and not at slrpnk.net. Is it something unique to lemmy.cafe? Something unique to slrpnk.net?
Thanks, this seems like a good option. I appreciate teh old.reddit like interface that old.lemmy.world also has
Two comments
I can't log in with this account to slrpnk.net. Should I create a new account, or am I doing something wrong?
A very minor minor comment; one thing I don't like about old.slrpnk.net & old.lemmy.world, is the site by default loads to hot posts. I found the active tab to be far more interesting; there is more engaging discussion that I can learn from. If perhaps due to a cookie setting or something, the site could default to the active tab; I (and possibly others) will appreciate it.
I know I said 2, but I'm still struggling to understand the concept of instances. So slrpnk.net is a separate world from Lemmy.world right? Can I engage in lemmy.world's content or no?
Can you explain what you mean by added a quick exception?
I have the same problem on the same game due to the same hardware.
I came up with a bulky solution, which is to launch a script that disconnects my keyboard for a bit; just to allow enough time to launch DS2. Then it reconnects the keyboard so normal function is resumed
Can you expand on your solutions so I can see if its better?
If anyone is interested in my super basic scripts, let me know and I'll share them.
No I totally understand the benefit of decentralization; however on the user end, I just want to consume content.
To that end, can I post on one knitting instance and that'll reach all knitting communities on Lemmy? How do I get the most engagement, which instance is the most popular
(and by the way, knitting was a random example on my end, but I am surprised that there aren't any active instances to what I would assume, is a fairly popular hobby).
So tangentially to the post, I guess the implied question is: when will Lemmy see another explosion in its userbase.
And to that...I don't know.
I've been trying to get away from reddit for a while and the problem with Lemmy is two fold
Very minor: it requires me to unblock cloudflare when I'm using noscript
More major, I still don't have an intuitive understanding of how lemmy works. On reddit if I was interested in knitting, going to old.reddit.com/r/knitting would be a good starting point.
I'm still confused about multiple instances, why bifurcate the community (are there multiple instances of knitting communities on lemmy?).
I (perhaps foolishly) consider myself slightly above average in terms of tech literacy; if I'm this confuse I do wonder how are others going to fare.
Just a reminder the Trump tried to organize a coup against Venezuela the last time he was in office (John Bolton, the national security advisor, said so in an interview)
It was a soft coup in the guise of that guy: Juan Guido.
He popped out of nowhere, months (maybe even a year) after Venezuela's elections, with the US supporting him as the legitimate winner. And because the US does it, so do all the puppet European states.
It was really confusing episode to me at the time. Only when Bolton's interview came out did it make sense to me.
