- Comment on Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. 1 month ago:
The benefit to a forum is that posts with new comments move to the top. If a Reddit/Lemmy post gets a single new comment it may or may not be seen again by anyone except the OP or of the comment was a reply then to the op of the replied comment.
Lemmy does have this actually
New Comments: Bumps posts to the top when they are created or receive a new reply, analogous to the sorting of traditional forums
- Comment on Comments from multiple posts on the same page 1 month ago:
It’s a little bit not-obvious that the top comments are from News@lemmy.world here
Maybe they should get a header just like all the other communities do for their sets of comments?
- Comment on One-handed games? 1 month ago:
I guess games like Monkey Island could work using the touch screen or touchpad working as a mouse
- Comment on Assassin's Creed Shadows Drops To 40 FPS At 720P On The Next-Gen Nvidia RTX 5070Ti 1 month ago:
4K max settings with RT max, and without frame generation, only achieved 30s FPS in the game
So basically 4k doesn’t perform much better than 720p, meaning it’s a horrible CPU bottleneck
- Comment on Comments from multiple posts on the same page 1 month ago:
even just some margin-top would help

I also have hints here youtu.be/T5rBc_T8x2g
- Comment on Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options! 1 month ago:
I’m obsessed with The 7th Guest lol

- Comment on Why I recommend against Bluesky. 1 month ago:
maybe it would be simple to fork this source code and form your own community
The network effect makes this extremely difficult, even with the source code, it’s basically starting from scratch again.
- Comment on What are some old freeware PC games you've kept playing over the years? 1 month ago:
I can’t believe someone else just mentioned Hover! I haven’t played it in decades lol but I did spend a lot of time on it as a kid
- Comment on What are some old freeware PC games you've kept playing over the years? 1 month ago:
Sonic Robo Blast 2 is one of the best Sonic games ever!
- Comment on What are some old freeware PC games you've kept playing over the years? 1 month ago:
Soldat was awesome, I loved the Rambo mode lol. That game had such good movement.
- Comment on Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options! 1 month ago:
definitely Deus Ex
but also The 7th Guest lol
- Comment on The Legend Is Spreading 2 months ago:
Not the first person, but certainly the first chick
- Comment on Is there a Lemmy equivalent of "r/bestofredditorupdates"? 2 months ago:
Well yeah some of the people, but I think the majority (or at least a large portion of them) will want a similar alternative to switch to
- Comment on Is there a Lemmy equivalent of "r/bestofredditorupdates"? 2 months ago:
IDK, people will probably eventually leave Reddit, as they left Digg and Myspace and many others. Where would they go aside from the Fediverse? Almost all new alternatives being built are using the Fediverse, and it’s the only way to get more than 1000 users currently.
- Comment on What if we called instances providers? 2 months ago:
usually when I tell someone what an instance is, I throw a few synonyms in there
I feel like just saying “instance/proxy” can help, providers sounds good too, also gateways, servers, relays…
I made an old discussion about this actually
- Comment on Reddit tracking upvotes for mod actions 2 months ago:
well I was speaking in theory, of course this stuff can be abused
but imagine if they actually only used it for illegal content, like the really bad stuff
- Comment on Reddit tracking upvotes for mod actions 2 months ago:
interesting idea actually, strengthening the crowd sourced filtering
but downvotes don’t delete posts, so you still need a real moderator
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Also hashtags don’t help federation at all, groups/communities will “boost” the post so it federates to all the followers
- Comment on Recommend me a steam deck game 2 months ago:
Have you tried Deus Ex Randomizer? We have an unusually high number of Steam Deck players
- Comment on Just started playing Life is Strange 2 months ago:
After that play the prequel, Before the Storm
- Comment on I created an instance for a specific community 2 months ago:
if an instance has no users and only communities, then it’s less likely to be defederated by anyone, and easier to manage
I do the same thing (also because I don’t want to pay for tons of storage space lol) lemmy.mods4ever.com/communities
- Comment on You can see who upvoted and downvoted a post by viewing it in friendica. 2 months ago:
It’s way easier to notice and defed when you can see these fake usernames
- Comment on The First Generation! 2 months ago:
I used to have this clipart program lol
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
I don’t think Lemmy has it (there is an open issue for invitation links that I don’t believe anyone has worked on).
github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1777
but admins can do it in the signup application questionnaire and just keep track with a spreadsheet
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Do Lemmy, Mastodon and the other big fediverse projects already support invite-based registration using codes?
you could just put the invite code into the signup application questionnaire, a server admin can make it say “Invite code here:”
the admins could keep a spreadsheet of the invite codes like in Google Sheets, keep track of who was given the invite code and who received it
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
I think when you give the invite don’t say “Lemmy” just say the name of the server
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Nobody is going to wait for an invite when they can just join any server.
well if they look hard enough to realize this then that’s a good thing, so I think it works out
