Why can't magazines/communities aggregate content from other instances?

When I look at https://lemmy.ml/c/startrek vs https://kbin.social/m/startrek I see two entirely different lists of posts. Why? It's the same topic, just on different instances. How can we have communities about topics without having them siloed into their own instance-based communities? Is this just related to that 0.18 issue...

Having established that dandelion seed heads are definitely NOT known as DANDELION CLOCKS by everyone I have a follow on question...

What DO you know them as?

Chatting to people already I have had FLUFFS (Lithuania) and WINDY PUFFS (Canada) both of which are SUPERB.

Are there any others? Will there be enough to make a World Map of Dandelion Names?! 😃

Places, names & any other trivia welcome!

Looking for recommendations!

My wife and I are casual players, and I’m considering getting a new, 2-player game. Here’s some extra info that may help with your suggestions:

  • More than two people could play it at a time, but only if it’s well-balanced for two. Something you would enjoy playing with a significant other.

  • We own these games, and we like them a lot: Jaipur, Splendor + Expansion, 7 wonders duel + Expansions, and Lost Cities (Card Game ed).

  • Recommendation could be within the same mechanics as the games mentioned above; anything different would be a plus.

Thanks for being awesome, and I’m looking forward to see your suggestions!

I use the web interface to access the friendsofdesoto.social instance and I've noticed recently that seems to now give a network error when using Firefox on Windows 10 Pro.
Is this just me?

I don't want to hear about your bots, builds, or bytes.

I want to hear about your cats, gin (or non-alcoholic libations), and hobby unrelated to computers.

Also what are you doing when you leave tech?

Sur mon wiki j'ai une page sur Minecraft qui explique comment installer manuellement Fabric, les mods, texturepacks, shader, etc.

Mais franchement, vu tout ce qu'est capable de faire PrismLauncher (et à quel point il est plus pratique), est-ce que je ne devrais pas sabrer cette page et faire une doc sur PrismLauncher ?

In they visit far away planets and their computers are compatible and they sometimes comment on a race's knowledge of mathematics.

But what's to say the distance planet have the same mathematical system to ours? For example we count in tens and our maths make sense based on that. But what if an alien race counts in 13s or 23s?

Wouldn't that make their maths incompatible to Earth's?

What is general practice for installing games from outside Steam?

PC/Linux/Steam Noob here. I just got a game from GOG and I’m seeing tutorials mention Heroic, Lutris, and Wine via ProtonUp-QT as methods to get non-Steam games installed and running on Deck. Which method would you consider the easiest and most reliable for content from GOG, Ubisoft, Epic, etc…...
