What do miss from pre-Reddit?
I used the website stumbleupon.com. I used to waste hours on that site and just shuffle websites within my interests. It was a good way to find new websites to frequent.

Reddit kills awards and coins

TBH, I don't think they care. It is monetization and engagement of their microtransactions...as smug as they may be, I think it's all about $

I am really working on making Lemmy work. It's slowly getting there for me...learning curves. I just miss the subreddits I had for my niche hobbies. It really bums me out.

for the Reddit refugees, do you also feel a bit heartbroken?
Reply in thread
I have really been diving deep into a lot of niche hobbies and Redd** had such a great community for them. I have no problem starting over for the sake of justice, but it is going to take a long time to build them up.

That is exciting...I really dislike battlenet. The most recent UI redesign is awful.

AI generated images of the 'typical' home in all 50 states, 30 biggest US cities
Neat concept, but I have been through so many neighborhoods and the home generated for Minnesota doesn't really seem to match up with reality.

[SOLVED] Outside a funeral home - seems a bit creepy. What is this?

Makes sense. I think that is the most reasonable answer.

Bought? Its Free 2 Play. It still requires a bnet login, so you don't even need to rebuy cosmetics/skins.

What podcasts do you recommend?
A couple interesting options: Good Job Brain - always an interesting listen. They deep dive into different topics from a trivia standpoint.. super interesting.
Behind the Bastards - looks at bad people throughout history.

But that is exactly the problem with third party apps ..they don't show ads so they make no add revenue on people using apps like Sync and Apollo or RIF.. The official app does. I understand why they are trying to push people to their app, but the route they took was worst case scenario.

You're right, it would be too late...
But it would have allowed users access to awards and coins and chat features without stepping on the toes of Reddit. It's crazy that they didn't come up with that rather than this.

What is the best way to host/upload gifs/mp4s/videos for Lemmy posts?

This looks like it will work for me, thanks! I do still feel like not having a more baked in solution will be an issue for many.

Yes! I had attempted to do so, but the app I am using doesn't give an edit option for titles. Had to log into the web app directly.

I tried Liftoff and really liked it - I had one issue that keeps me from using it as my primary - I submitted a bug report on github. (#164)

What was your first videogame that made you say "Ok, I need to play this game properly: I need to upgrade my specs"?
I mentioned in another post that Unreal Tournament 2004 was one of them for me.
Later on down the road, after I built my first gaming pc using an XFX 8800gts with a whopping 640mb vram - I tried to max out XCOM when it came out. Next thing I heard was a pop, then I smelled the smoke that was billowing out of my GPU. It was time to upgrade again!

What are your thoughts/forecasts? Do you think 'Big Tech' companies (such as Amazon, Google etc.) will ultimately implode as they continue to wield more and more control & power over their customers?

I was on board during reddits first year. I deleted my apps the moment sync announced it was ending service. I don't intend to go back - this post was just moreso me trying to see if this option would have been the "right" way to handle things.
