What gameplay settings/options would make you more apt to play different game genres? (lemm.ee)

Original, clunky form of the question:

What gameplay settings/options that some game genres don't often have would make you more apt to play them?

How are Misskey and its forks doing? in c/fediverse@lemmy.world
[–] ALostInquirer@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago

Thanks for yours and @JupiterRowland@sh.itjust.works's deep dive into this!

How are Misskey and its forks doing? (lemm.ee)
 

By which I mean in terms of usage, development, or stability. Also along those lines, which English-speaking instances would you recommend?

Interested as Misskey & forks have some feature edges over Mastodon in my opinion, but it's somewhat harder to find discussion/info about them.

What are they?

Does setting/reserving a static IP via router prevent its allocation to other devices in its network? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] ALostInquirer@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Appreciate the example! It's when handling a DHCP range and the related CIDR notation that I tend to get especially muddled in this area. It certainly doesn't help that each router's interface and terminology tends to vary just enough to add uncertainty.

Regardless, the comments here and more focus on this have helped clear some of this up for me.

Does setting/reserving a static IP via router prevent its allocation to other devices in its network? (lemm.ee)
 

Asking for clarification as what I've read suggests yes, but is also sometimes coupled with advice to (still?) set a static IP outside of the DHCP address range as well.

Thanks in advance!

Looking at you various USB cables with subtly different capabilities.

How do we get "normies" to adopt the Fediverse? in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

By automated reporting do you mean something like filters on the backend to flag offensive posts per some custom settings?

Openvibe combines Mastodon, Bluesky and Nostr into one social app | TechCrunch in c/fediverse@lemmy.world
[–] ALostInquirer@lemm.ee 17 points 2 months ago (3 children)

The pre-seed stage startup is backed by angel investors and NYC accelerator Wolf, which Openvibe attended last year.

Openvibe is available as a free app on iOS and Android, but plans to experiment with a desktop version. The app will later introduce a subscription plan to generate revenue.

Have any services like this managed to develop a sustainable business model, especially after taking on investment?

What made everyone move to Bluesky or Threads instead of Mastodon? in c/fediverse@lemmy.world
[–] ALostInquirer@lemm.ee 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Does Bluesky? Have they been running marketing? Much of what I've seen/heard of it has been more a result of Twitter imploding and people bringing up alternatives than any concerted marketing pushes.

edited for clarity, realized I'd overlooked Threads mention

How can we return to techno-optimism? in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] ALostInquirer@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I haven’t paid interest in over a decade and have made thousands from rewards.

I'm not too familiar with credit cards, do you mean this in a literal money sense or something more complex, i.e. the value of rewards & money?

20 Years of Blogging on my own website in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] ALostInquirer@lemm.ee 4 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I had been publishing articles on my own website since 2003, but I did that mostly manually by writing whole HTML pages.

Huh, so literally raw html? I know it's not too difficult, but I have wondered occasionally how many small websites may have been written that way.

We have to stop ignoring AI’s hallucination problem in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] ALostInquirer@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

Fun part is, that article cites a paper mentioning misgivings with the terminology: AI Hallucinations: A Misnomer Worth Clarifying. So at the very least I'm not alone on this.

Are there ActivityPub servers that can see others without necessarily connecting to them to better enable connections? (lemm.ee)
 

By this I sort of mean like, in the case of Lemmy for example, something like a built-in Lemmyverse of sorts.

It wouldn't be pulling in data yet from other instances, but it would enable seeing that their communities were out there so you could then tell your server you'd like to subscribe/follow/etc. their community/channel/account.

Tbh despite having been around the fediverse for awhile, I'm not sure how else ActivityPub servers were supposed to have these different things found to start with.

How much maintenance do you find your self-hosting involves? (lemm.ee)
 

I recognize this will vary depending on how much you self-host, so I'm curious about the range of experiences from the few self-hosted things to the many self-hosted things.

Also how might you compare it to other maintenance of your other online systems (e.g. personal computer/phone/etc.)?

86
What are some ways you think discoverability might be improved across federated platforms? (lemm.ee)
 

Discoverability in this context meaning the ability to more effectively find public communities/people of interest. Alongside improving this however, respecting people's decisions on whether and how they may be found, if at all.

93
What are some of the more novel forms of fediverse software? (lemm.ee)
 

By novel I mean not emulating an existing popular platform, e.g. Lemmy-Reddit, Mastodon-Twitter, etc.

70
Is there a meta-community for discussing ways to grow & manage Lemmy communities (not instances)? (lemm.ee)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/24989007

It doesn't seem like it would necessarily fit either !lemmy@lemmy.ml or !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml, and !moderators@lemmy.world I think may be more intended for Lemmy World community moderators.

How much of what you self-host do you keep LAN only over making accessible across the internet? (lemm.ee)

Whenever the AT protocol of BlueSky is set for others to deploy, won't it have similar problems as ActivityPub instances? (lemm.ee)

I feel like I may be missing something when it comes to BlueSky, or maybe both I and those trying it out are but in different ways. My understanding is that BlueSky is currently like the Mastodon Social instance is for Mastodon but of the AT Protocol under development, with the long term aim being that once their protocol is sufficiently developed to their liking, they'll put out the version capable of federation for others to spin up their own instances with.

However, once they do that, won't it basically create some of the same problems people already have with ActivityPub, i.e. instance choice, federation confusion, etc.?

What's supposed to set it apart and address existing issues rather than reinvent things and add their own distinct issues?
