Spanish guy, who likes open source software and has just discovered the fediverse (as of 28th of April, 2022). I like video games, and indie and retro music. I’m a student. I’m officially diagnosed with ADHD and ASD since January, 2023.
The thing is that I don’t have those issues on Lemmy, because I usually browse by /local, both on this server and on beehaw. But I had to block lemmy.world with my user on Kbin due to that problem you were pointing out. And miraculously, I can see content from Kbin, lemmy.ml, blahaj, beehaw sopuli, and so on, because there is no way to browse only local content on Kbin as it can be done on Lemmy.
Prove it, because I only see US-centric posts while browsing /all.
And no, America is not the US.
Some instances removed the downvote button. And I think it’s a good decision, personally speaking. If you like it, you upvote it. If you don’t like it, move on. Less toxicity, and less emotional damage when someone has rejection sensitiveness.
When I joined Lemmy one year and some months ago (the instance I’m talking from), this wasn’t a desert, but this wasn’t a living place either. Maybe I didn’t subscribe to some communities, but I could see two or three new posts per day, with a couple of comments in the best case scenario. I didn’t do my part either as much as I’m doing it now.
But now, between holding poop for 3 days, or eating beans, or the abundance of users on every instance, this is a neverending party, and I’m happy. I’m still not doing my part posting, but I comment very often. And I even have one account on two instances each (is that correctly said?).
With correct mods, with wholesome admins and with polite users, even disagreeing, these places will be forever my virtual home.
Now that I’m more aware about federation things and more servers appear in the wild, maybe I’ll change to a smaller one too. But I’m too lazy, and I’ve already changed my first instance to mstdn.social a year ago.
I was doing experiments with ffmpeg. If it works well, good. If not, I’ll try simple screen recorder. Thanks.
I’m thinking about recording my screen monitor while I’m playing some video games and upload the videos both on PeerTube and on YouTube. With a slightly little difference between them: the YouTube version will show messages encouraging the use of adblockers and leading people to PeerTube.
Now I have to find a good software and configuration to record my gameplays on my “potato” computer.
At this point, I’m still wondering why nobody is fixing those damn windows so people can’t fall out of them so easily.
I’m on mstdn.social. The admin is really cool, and the server is big enough to my liking.
This instance is not big enough for the two of us.
I need to resume my plays in Dwarf Fortress. It’s a wonderful game, but frustrating sometimes.
Thank you for the suggestion. I’m enjoying it (⌐■_■)
No, it doesn’t.
