Yeah, same here. Lemmy sort of scratches the itch, but it's a big itch.

Maybe it's nothing, but Reddit seems particularly sensitive towards kbin.

Yeah, I'll admit there is the excitement of having a new toy and figuring out how it all works. That takes away some of the boredom or time I'd be scrolling reddit.

Sadly, Reddit has likely won the short-term battle. But hopefully, this Blackout raises awareness of the need for alternatives. Whether it be Lemmy/Kbin, some up-and-coming site like Squabbles or Tildes, or something not yet created, the seeds of migration off Reddit have been planted. If Reddit has such apathy for its communities pre-IPO, just imagine how bad it will be post-IPO when they are dealing with Wallstreet directly.

It's his self-assuredness that bothers me most. If his attitude towards his community (or product rather) are this bad pre-IPO just wait until after and they have to keep announcing revenue growth to Wallstreet every quarter.

Seems like they have plenty of money to spend on THESE enhancements.

I guess I'm glad I picked Lemmy.one -- the Switzerland of US-bases Lemmy instances :)

Sorry for your loss, but what a fabulous way to go out! Bravo!

I'm not sure if it is truly considered a pixel art game, but I still love Terraria.

Looks like the fix is targeted for 0.18 when websockets are removed. I'm not sure this fix should wait that long though since this issue has both usabily and performance impacts.

Keep in mind that the Android App, Jerboa, doesn't have search functionality yet.

Looks like someone is trying to brownnose his way to an acquisition/merger.

This is why I still cling to my trusty Samsung S10. Still has a headphone jack for my IEMs and a heart rate monitor.

Very well said. I agree -- it's not charging for the API that's the issue, although that is what the media usually reports. It's the ridiculous price, the poor timing, lack of parity in their own tools, refusal to negotiate, and their dismissive attitude towards everyone.

Knowing that Beehaw and Lemmy.ml were overloaded, I chose the next biggest one in my country at the time, which was Lemmy.one.

Is this just the PWA (progressive web app)? If so, just FYI it's not a true native app -- more like a downloadable version of the normal webapp that you can pin and run like it is a app. I installed it as well (for my kbin account) and it works well enough as a good stop-gap.

I think 0.18 is still in release candidate state. Lemmy.one just upgraded to 0.17.4 in the last day or two. I assume the admin will wait until 0.18 is stable. I'm on Lemmy.one in Jerboa and it seems to work fine for me.

I haven't played either of these, but they sound very cool and have been on my wishlist for a while:

• Metaphobia - a FREE game on Steam. It's a classic-style point-and-click adventure in the vein of Gabriel Knight.
• Shadows of Doubt - An immersive sandbox detective stealth game set in a fully simulated sci-fi noir city of crime and corruption. The world is procedurally generated and you can explore and take on cases freely. Discover, meet and tail individual citizens, each with their own name, job, apartment and daily routine, in unique, procedurally-generated cities. Each case has different culprits, clues and experiences for you to test your investigative skills.

It's a known bug that is supposed to fixed in an upcoming update (maybe 0.18). There are a few other threads that have more details.

I use a screen protector and case with a pop socket. My phone is 4 years old and still in good condition. The screen protector has some small scratches but not enough to be worth replacing.
