How should I be using Lemmy?

With spez ascending the last few remaining levels of becoming an absolute wanker, it's about time I got more active and I have been wondering how should I be using Lemmy efficiently? Like many I migrated from Reddit and I was primarly using Apollo to browse through my subscribed subreddits....

Now what might really cook your noodle is the info that the developers of the Lemmy software are pro-Russian genocide deniers, and there's a growing sentiment to not support that by dropping Lemmy in favor of kbin or something else.

Here's the best sourced info I found on the genocide topic: https://kbin.social/m/lemmyworld@lemmy.world/t/47012/-/comment/196579

Just as I was starting to get the hang of this, it feels like I stepped into another wasp nest.

Ookay, then let's look at kbin, right? Well, there's literally only ONE developer and the current version still very much a (good) beta version. So, not kbin either, then?

What's left? Beehaw, who act like snowflakes and have disconnected from where growth and interesting stuff is happening?

I feel pretty lost in the sea of the fediverse right now. Go back to Reddit? Naw, not right either.

It may not be so baseless after all. Here's the best sourced info I found on the genocide topic: https://kbin.social/m/lemmyworld@lemmy.world/t/47012/-/comment/196579

Thank you for your comment though, you have good points, especially that Beehaw is also a Lemmy instance, and to look for one that is not operated by these people.

Noob dad has questions on what to buy for kids

Hey all - sorry if these questions are very basic. I have absolutely zero console experience. I want to buy one Switch OLED for my 2 boys, for a roadtrip. The idea would be to use the desktop mode so they can play together, and also gets them the option to play single-player games one at a time....

Zelda: do you know if the game can have two player profiles, so the boys have each their own adventure?

That sounds great. May I ask you one more question: I've seen some things come with a 3 or 12 month online subscription; what is that for?

Which regioin are you in? If in Region B (subject of this TIL), I guess you're not confused by the aspect that markers and nav-lights are opposite, rather than same?

In Region A, "red on red" is natural: When inbound, I will have a red lateral mark pass me by on my red navigational side. (As opposed to "red right returning" as stated in the Wiki article.)

You are definitely correct, otherwise it would be like Japanese cars having red headlights and white taillights = mayhem. I just don't grok how or why the buoys came to be different.

Also, Lemmy is pronounceable, like Jimmy or any other name. How many syllables is kbin? Four individual letters?

Also also, "Lemmy World" can be said out loud in polite company. Shit just doesn't work.

PlutoniumAcid,

Okay, thank you. "Kaybin" is pronounceable - when you know this.

I am not very familiar with Linux. Can you tell me what /sbin means? And if kbin is a nod to that, then what does the "k" mean?

PlutoniumAcid,

No, I don't see that:

My Jerboa "Inbox" view starts at the top: --the navigation section (left arrow, filter, double-check-mark) / then tabs for replies, mentins,, messages --then the main content pane with the replies; each of these replies do not have any action buttons underneath them --then the bottom navigation (home, communities, inbox, bookmarks, profile).

So I can only "mark all read" but I cannot upvote or reply from this view, and notably, I cannot mark one reply as read.

What am I missing? In the link you provided, I could not find an explantion to toggle visibility of anything.

From the comments:

This is idiotic. Signal didn't take money from the NSA, they took money from the Broadcasting Board of Governors, which funded virtually all Internet privacy projects during the time period we're talking about, both American and otherwise; some of those dollars went to development, and still more went to contracting commercial pentests from firms like Matasano, the one I co-ran, and iSEC Partners.

This article says it's not rehashing DeVault's arguments, and it isn't; it's making an even dumber set of arguments.

Is there any good small Android phone?

I like the feeling of holding and using a phone in one hand. I am using a Pixel 5 right now but it feels a bit too large for me. I know nobody makes phone that small like the iPhone 4S or the Samsung S3 mini, but is there at least a phone smaller than the Pixel 5? Maybe around the size of a iPhone 12/13 mini?

I also use S10. This is my second one, both bought used. Before I had S6 which was equally sweet.

I really miss the notification LED!

150 buckazoids?? Are they made of gold??

And it's funny that it's like emojis: you've got your standard yellow, then also a black and a white edition for those who need to show the world that they care.

rather than created by spontaneous generation

People back then were mindbogglingly stupid to believe that.

I am absolutely certain that future humans (should they exist) will say the same about our society, especially after the rise of "social media".

Two paragraphs. You call two paragraphs “longish”?

Is a 140-character tweet really the baseline for today’s world?? How do I get off this planet.

Referees use a can of glorified shaving cream to mark the spot where a penalty shot should be made.

I see. Maybe they are preparing new markings on the field, or this was used for something else, as a way to put temporary lines?

I have seen reports that Reddit un-deletes deleted posts after the user has been deleted. Can't win.

Those three bullet points confuse me. Are they different; if so, how? Are they the same, just different notations; if so, why?

PlutoniumAcid,

Same for email. I can't afford it to be down for days while I stress out about fixing whatever it was that I broke.
