While it’s unfortunate that the verification process isn’t iron-clad, it still reflects a good goal and substantial progress toward it. The fact is, the verification program serves more as a fancy inventory of how their software catalog runs on Proton/Linux and Valve is probably more worried about games people play that are no longer actively developed than it is on fixing every game for every developer.
Personally, I suspect that 3-5 years from now, once Valve has done a complete once-over of their complete library, they’ll come back around with a ‘premium’ version of verified that’s more geared toward requirements for current and new games, one which is more focused on working with active developers.
Saw this mentioned in another post, but I lost it and the idea bears repeating: Sorting by Top -> Day really makes the user experience on here much better. The posts are fresher and more relevant than the ones you get by sorting by Hot or Active imo.
That's it in a nutshell. There was a bug in the code, but the error was negligible under the loads Lemmy was used to, but the extra workload of thousands of extra users made the bug go from "fixes itself faster than I can blink" to "posts are still rolling in minutes later".
Luckily the inefficient code has been replaced with more efficient code and will be rolled out with the next major version. I personally don't know when that version will be released or how long it will take to deploy to the Lemmy servers.
At the end of the day though, I'd rather suffer the growing pains of someone trying to build something, than suffer the greed of someone trying to consolidate power.
I know it's currently under a lot of stress as a whole due to the recent events, but Lemmy needs to fix it's scrolling in specific boards. Nothing worse than scrolling halfway through the feed, clicking a post, leaving the post, and ending up at the beginning of the feed.
Correct! I have a lemmy.world account and use Jerboa for Lemmy for Android. I was able to briefly browse Beehaw before they defederated and can now browse kbin. I did absolutely nothing on my end except browse "All, top daily" and subscribed to whatever community/magazine made interesting posts.
I've got a Raspberry Pi running Portainer on DietPi OS hosting a Discord bot, ACME certificate manager, reverse proxy; a second DietPi pi hosting Sonarr and Radarr and an automatic ripping machine; a pi NAS ruining open media vault; and my Linux gaming system also has Portainer running Jellyfin.
