The official reddit app is not even supported on my device.

Honestly, I'm really trying to like Lemmy. I feel like none of the good communities came over here, just the one's you mindlessly scroll through. I just looked for a fitness community yesterday and the one i found had like 5 posts. There is basically no communities for any of my hobbies. It seems like most people stayed on Reddit, except for the techy people. It's a shame because I really want to support the idea of federation and I do like the website.

Sun rule

I used to stare at the sun when I was a kid. Now I have visual snow syndrome. Don't know if it's related, but sunlight for long periods of time definitely aggrevates it.

Could federation be a turn-off for more 'mainstream' users?

It seems like a win but tech-literate is not equal to smart. Let's say we want advice about cars. Now all the older mechanics who are very smart and technical with cars but not as much with computers won't bring their expertise here. I really want Lemmy to take off. I think it is a good replacement for the scrolling and time-wasting that Reddit provides but I'm worried it will never be a useful resource the same way Reddit is. I think a lot would need to change for that to happen.

I only see the Altima thing on the internet. IME it's just a generic shitty car like a Ford and seems to drive just like anyone else on the road. I feel like any car that costs a lot of money, including pick up trucks are the ones with assholes

Todd Howard thinks Elder Scrolls 6 May Be His Last Game

I feel the same way about Oblivion, but I actually played Skyrim first. Skyrim is beautiful and all but I feel like the world is very generic. Oblivion and Morrowind seem to have more of a style to it. Also, Oblivion had the daedric realm, which I thought was cooler than dragons, which are annoying if you don't have that one shout that keeps them on the ground.
