I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

Note: I’m moderating a handful of communities in more of a caretaker role. If you want to take one on, send me a message and I’ll share more info :)

Are these being posted to Mastodon as well?

Edit: Oop just saw the previous one

otter,

I loved the 3D platformers from back then, including the ones based on whatever movie was out at the time

otter,

There are some here, but I’m not familiar with the topic so you should judge them

lemmyverse.net/communities?query=Vinyl

If there isn’t one that fits, consider making one or taking over an existing one to change it :)

Chances are that other people are interested too but no one has taken the initiative

otter,

I was linking to a page where someone unknowingly used a link with a tracker, as an example of what I was talking about

Here’s a screenshot if that’s better

otter,

ok yep that’s pretty terrible

otter,

A lot of the animal ones are pretty good, ex. !animalswithjobs

There’s also !goodnewseveryone , but that’s similar to upliftingnews

otter,

Followup question 2: What are some questions you have that you want to see done by someone? (In case this prompts someone to think of a channel)

otter,

Followup question 1: What are some MythBusters episodes that you recommend everyone try?

otter,

It also works with opening up the info to anyone, not just you. That’s one of the key issues, even if a trusted party is accessing the info there’s a chance that a malicious party can get access too. Or the trusted party becomes malicious later (government changes, company changes hands, etc.)

People generally don’t want everything in their home live streamed 24/7. If anything it has the potential for abuse, like if someone knows when you’ll be out of home for a few hours

otter,

I enjoy a lot of communities on lemmy.world, but I’d recommend against moving a community into it. Centralizing more communities there doesn’t feel productive, and I don’t think it would help with user numbers.

If you do want to move, slrpnk is cool and I think this community could succeed there. Personally, I think the best solution would be to promote this community around the Fediverse regardless of if you stay on this instance or move to another one. Places like !communityPromo and the other ones listed here: lemmy.ca/post/5581032.

Thanks for thinking about these things and for working on the community!

Maybe there’s an inappropriate doodle on the window or something?

otter,

!emulationonandroid

!emulation

Although the regular

otter,

Another great thing about Lemmy is that people can choose what they want to see instead of a platform deciding for them.

If you don’t like the bots, block them. If someone wants the bots, they can subscribe to the communities.

It’s really only a problem when someone is making too many separate bots that it gets hard to block all of them

otter, (edited )

It’s still helpful to talk about what’s going on elsewhere

  • see what we can do better
  • see what good features are worth adopting here
  • Calling out bad actions by other platforms. We don’t HAVE to help people that aren’t on the Fediverse, but there are a lot of experienced and knowledgeable people on here that can discuss issues and how we can address them
otter,

If the app needs a server component, a small subscription is justified. If it doesn’t, then a subscription isn’t justified.

If the subscription is optional, and it gets more frequent updates & support, that might be ok too as long as you can choose to just keep the product as is (and the product isn’t riddled with bugs)

otter,

Was there a particular post you wanted to see answered? I see a decent variety usually

otter, (edited )

The specific breakdown was as follows

We recommend Mullvad Browser if you are focused on strong privacy protections and anti-fingerprinting out of the box, Firefox for casual internet browsers looking for a good alternative to Google Chrome, and Brave if you need Chromium browser compatibility.

So I think they only recommend Brave for those that need Chromium

For mobile browsers, I don’t quite understand the differences between each. I personally use Mull when I need it, but Brave might be better on Mobile still?

otter,

Sounds fun! You can drop a post on !communitypromo as well :)

otter, (edited )

This is great! The length and tone was perfect IMO

Hope you guys do these for a while to come :)

otter,

I used sync on Reddit ages ago before switching to Boost. Both are pretty decent, but I prefer Boost here as well
