Redundant communities across instances

Reply in thread

I largely agree with you, there's already redundant subreddits and such.

But I think when we're trying to capture a ton of Reddit users, anything that represents a hurdle to new user adoption is a concern. That goes double for things that are intrinsic to the Fediverse that aren't intuitive to new users like myself.

Linux for Microsoft Surface devices. It is reality!

I've had nothing but issues with Microsoft hardware... Even excluding Xbox stuff, my SP4 had major issues with video corruption and hard freezes. Multiple RMA attempts came back defective or damaged, even the first party folio keyboard went bad. These were widespread defects and once warranty was up I was sol.

The only thing that somewhat extended its life before it went full spicy pillow was putting Linux Mint on it with some kernel patches.

Thank God this community exists, but I'll never buy another surface product as long as I live.
