Why did you join Lemmy?

l was browsing around on r/kde sometimes, and there was a banner-thing Saying that KDE Supported open platforms like Lemmy. I took a look at Lemmy's Wikipedia, and browsed around a few days later. I liked the stuff on c/programmerhumour, So I joined.

Also my Reddit account got banned (i think, might be deactivated, idk) due to inactivity (I wasn't on for 2-3 years), and I didn't care to do anything about it.

Also, as a bit of context for the above, it did take a while from hearing about Lemmy and browsing and joining.

I've been lurking for 6+ months, barely vote, no post or comment. I was banned for spam.

Thanks for the reply! I found it very informative, also with regards to the blocking.

I do think it's stupid that there's no complete block feature in Lemmy. Also just found out that it apparently has a slower development speed compared to PieFed (with regards to features). This, and the founders of lemmy, are some factors making me consider switching to PieFed. I also heard that there were more features, but also stability concerns. Also most of those extra features are not there on mobile clients yet i believe.

I also checked, and Lemmy login does not work on PieFed.

"Peace President"

Reply in thread

he would be in jail if he didn't get the idea to run for president a second time.

Let's just hope that we see the whole trials thing re-emerge once he is done, that has the best chances of locking him up (dare I say 100% ?). Though I do feel that he deserves worse, whatever that may be.

Guys, what's the best Linux distro to install on my PC?

Reply in thread

From experience (this was a few years ago, but still holds up even today), yes. The GUI installer is very easy to use (there's lots of visual stuff to). The one thing that the installer does better that the Debian installer, in my opinion, is partitioning (there's more visual aids (a slider you can move around, I believe) (a disclaimer: this is basedoff of materials that i read online, not any personal experience)).

If you want images and stuff, you can always look up 'Calamares installer' (which I believe is the installer Mint uses)

Wish you the best of luck on your linux journey!

Can I Talk

Reply in thread

I just wanted to say,

It's always an adventure down some new tangent that, with the right question (they love questions) can turn into a rabbit

hole.

I (also?) have a friend who has ADHD. This is my most favourite thing about our conversations. To look back and think "how did we get here?" is fun/interesting to me. I also feel that they are intellectually stimulating, but that may just be him.

Closing programs

The thing with winget, i believe, I that when installing non-MS store programs, you still have to go through the program's installer. 

Whereas you don't need to look at an installer with apt or similar
