  • I honestly don’t think Arch is that bad or complicated. It’s just that you have to go into it knowing that you’re in for some reading, tinkering and following step by step instructions along the way. I’d start with something like Mint or Ubuntu for a first look for sure. But once you’re ready to learn a bit more about how the Linux system works and is put together, Arch would straight up be my first recommendation. Even if it’s something you play with on the side in a virtual machine, for me at least, starting on Arch was when my Linux experience went from clicking at things and copy pasting commands into the terminal to still copying and pasting commands lol, but actually learning why and how and what too.


  • I feel like they’ve probably all got pros and cons and probably require a little research. I recently signed up here on lemm.ee and the sign up process seemed pretty quick and simple. And they seem to do minimal de-federating. But the flip side to that is you can’t upload any images for your first 4 weeks on the server. 4 fkn weeks.

    And if I’d read that first, I might have reconsidered joining here. I think I’d rather be inconvenienced by sightly more in depth questions and a 1 day wait time for signing up than a 4 fkn week wait before I can even upload a profile pic and banner image.

    Edit: in fact I’m gonna go as far as saying that it’s false advertising. They advertise as general purpose instance but seemingly can’t even handle a thing that about 50% if this type of social media entails. They should change their blurb on join-lemmy to “We would like to be a general purpose reddit-like instance but our servers catch on fire every time someone uploads a meme, so we should actually be doing something smaller scale instead of pretending that we can hang with lemmy.world”.


    • Stardew Valley
    • Skyrim
    • ADOM
    • Burnout Paradise
    • Vegas Solitaire (or I think a decent Solitaire collection is a fair exception to that one rule because you can get many games out of a pack of cards)

    Stardew Valley, Skyrim and ADOM for games that you can keep going back to over years and playing in different ways and still discovering new things. Vegas Solitaire for more of a mindless time passer when you don’t want something immersive and involved. Burnout Paradise for something in between complex and mindless and something different once in a while.

    Edit: I hope I eventually get rescued though because there’s a LOT of shorter titles that I’d miss.




  • Absolute favourite:

    Kiki’s Delivery Service. Character and story that I relate with most of our of all of the movies. I wish I’d watched it when I was a kid.

    Other favourites:

    • Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
    • Pom Poko
    • Whisper of the Heart
    • Howl’s Moving Castle
    • The Tale of Princess Kaguya
    • When Marnie Was There

    Almost favourites:

    • Princess Mononoke (I don’t like Ashitaka that much by the end)
    • Spirited Away (only because this is the only Ghibli that I ever came across in the wild before watching all of them, I’m over exposed to it)
    • Earwig and the Witch (love the concept and general story, not a fan of the animation style and a lot of specifics)




  • I’m trying a new account on a new instance, using this app for the first time too, so this seems like a suitable first comment to make. I am blown away so far and I wonder why this app is never mentioned wherever the conversation about Lemmy apps comes up.

    Really just came to say, thank you for this awesome app. The multicommunities feature alone is going to change my experience of Lemmy.
