I'd definitely add a +1 to lemm.ee
The admin is open and honest, he's got a clear set of goals, which is to make lemmy accessible - nothing more, nothing less.
Lemm.ee doesn't participate in the whole "federate vs non-federate" drama or crippling features (ie: removing downvotes) because it goes against their ethos/mantra.
There are instances that lemm.ee defederates from, but they are usually due to extreme vore, cp, or other content that could expose lemm.ee to some legal problems.
Vampire Survivor: It's fun, easy to pickup, the sessions are short (less than 20 minutes), and lots to unlock.
... Plus, (if you've been living in a cave and didn't know) it's free on Epic Games for the next few hours.
Shit, and here I thought spending my day unblocking people somehow boosted productivity.
There's also the "Unofficial Half Life 2 VR - unleashed" mod, which looks really exciting (I haven't tried it yet).
There's also a trailer for the mod.
edit: wordz edit 2: found a trailer
I think it's related to this issue (re: lemm.ee is fetching and caching images (to improve performance) , but often get is throttled (because the Lemmy's cache implementation was not designed to work with larger Lemmy instances ), which results users seeing broken images).
I had an on site interview with the owner of a small IT company. He was 30 minutes late (and I'd arrived 10 minutes early to be... ya know, punctual).
He offered no apologies and had this whole arrogance surrounding him. Complained that he had to drive to the office for this. Then after 5 minutes, it was obvious he didn't even bother to look over my CV and was completely unprepared for the interview. ... and somehow this was my fault.
Of course, the interview didn't go well (for either of us). He offered a lowball 30% less than the average salary, I was looking for 30% above. I rolled my eyes, shook hands and left.
Later, I got a call back from the recruiter "I had no idea you were asking that much. From what X (the owner) said, this was a complete disaster." I said, "I agree" and politely hung up.
In hindsight, I should have probably insisted on rescheduling (or just left) after 20 minutes. But, I was young and didn't have many interviews under my belt. So, I took it as a learning experience.
Facebook, now it's your turn....
... just imagine how far we'd get, if it were funneled into improving public education.
It's the "stringing it all together" that could be problematic.
If you have multiple clients (desktop/cellphone) modifying the same entry (or even different entries in the same "database" ). You need something smart enough to gracefully handle this or atleast tell you about it.
I did the whole "syncing" KeePass and it was functional, but it also meant I needed to handle conflicts - which was annoying. I switched and really appreciate the whole "it just works" with self-hosted bitwarden.
As a former Redditor, I gave up on
/r/allyears before the enshittification (due to the poor signal to noise ratio) and started culling a list of meaningful subreddits. For me this was a game changer.If you plan on using lemm.ee (or any Lemmy instance) as a pre-curated
r/all, I think you're going to have a bad experience. Lemmy, in it's current state, wasn't really made for that (the sorting is too simplistic).For myself, I simply subscribe to the communities that I'm interested in. If I feel my daily feed is sparse, then I'll look at what's threads are trending in the entire fediverse and add those communities, then repeat. After following this process for a couple of weeks, I seldomly want/need to check the entire fediverse.
I appreciate that Lemm.ee will let me choose the communities that I'm interested in, regardless of they happen to exist on Lemmy.world, hexbear, etc.
