  With Railway it’s the typical anticipation of strategy games that gets you. Just one more expansion of your network, one more resource to connect to a town, one more logistical puzzle to solve. It’s way more intricate (in a good way) than just managing the budget and I’ve sunk hours and hours into some of those missions to figure them out.

  Railway Empire 2 hard to put down once you get going.

  Wasteland 3 is awesome and akin to DOS2 and BG3!

  Can highly recommend Summit! Perfect for Lemmy and it has recently gone open-source. !summit@lemmy.world

  Hmm, LibreOffice may not be the prettiest, but it works. For my own documents and presentations I use Typst nowadays. That’s a blazing fast modern typesetting alternative to LaTeX. That being said, I can’t stand WYSIWIG stuff but that might not be everybody’s cup of tea.

  I mostly run into stubborn manufacturers like Roland that only release their musical instrument companion apps for Mac/Win and leave Linux Digital Audio Workstations hanging.

  Now that’s a strapon if I’ve ever seen one. And it might actually get off if it goes flacid halfway 🤔

  Oof, so much nostalgia!

  Lost the game!

  Can’t seem tot buy it without paying for the EA subscription shite on Xbox so I’ll wait.

  Well, it’s meant as an introductory paragraph. I think such a general paragraph should not go to those lengths since the vast majority won’t be facing that issue. Most large instances that you would recommend for first timers are federated well enough that at least the civilised part of Lemmy is very accessible. I think that with:

  • sensible defaults/suggestions
  • easy to understand intro
  • a help/link to a detailed article

  you cover enough for users who can’t be bothered, who want to be informed, and those who want to understand what’s going on behind the scenes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Onboarding experience needs to be simpler for mass adoption⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, very much in favor of sensible defaults for first timers. Most frontends/apps support multiple accounts anyway so changing/adding more later on really shouldn’t be a problem

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Onboarding experience needs to be simpler for mass adoption⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they should stick to the “email provider” analogy. Whole paragraph should be something like:

  The only thing you need to start interacting with the Fediverse is an account with one of the many providers, just like with email! Providers are freely available across the globe: pick one that suits your location or interests best! You can start browsing the content of nearly the entire Fediverse from whatever provider you choose. Don’t worry, you can always create an account with a different provider later.

  You could add a sentence or two about where to find sensible defaults or link an article that explains the more subtle things.

  I think the emphasis on instances (and not naming them the more familiar providers) hinders adoption.

  But in the end it’s just as with email: providers, spam filters and clients. Some providers have stricter spam filters (~federation), some might prefer another client. Has there been any significant reason to deviate from that terminology?

  Meaningful discovery is a major issue in adoption, though. Pro: no search/discovery algorithm that serves some evil plan of world enshittification. Con: no search/discovery algorithm.
