Unfortunately they don't take requests for new subreddits anymore. In addition, they don't mirror comments so in terms of answers to questions it's probably not that helpful.

I like the idea of Sublinks for this reason. They wanted to create a Lemmy alternative, but they are maintaining Lemmy API compatibility. That way they build one piece at a time. The Lemmy frontend Tesseract was forked from Photon, and then became the Sublinks front end. But it's still also a Lemmy frontend because they work with the same API structure.

In addition, Lemmy apps all work with Sublinks as well.

This way, they could focus on just the backend component, and rely on Lemmy components for the other pieces until they are able to get everything in house. Though they have a plan to keep Lemmy API compatibility, so there will always be this big pile of apps and web frontends that can be used with both.

Kbin still has that bug. Lemmy.world is actively throttling the number of activities it accepts from Kbin as if they don't, they then federate these out to other servers and it impacts on the ability of those servers to keep up with the genuine Lemmy.world content.

Even with this throttling some are struggling to keep up.

The beautiful thing about decentralisation is that if an instance tries to as ads, then you can go to a different instance and see the same content.

If an instance creates as posts, your instance admin can block the whole instance.

Interestingly, the big instances seem to easily get enough donations to cover costs. I think that's the great thing about this model, people are willing to donate when they know it's not some big corporate making profit for shareholders.

It looks like if you enter an "Other" option, it adds it to the list for others to select. Some troll must have added the others you can see on the results page they are marked as "(Other)".

Lemmy has algorithms, it's just that they aren't designed to maximise profit.

If you have the sort type set to Hot, posts are ranked based on score (upvotes minus down votes) with a decay based on post time. Active is the same but based on the last comment time.

If you are on the website, there is a ? next to the sort option that will take you to a page explaining how the different options work.

But long story short, most sorting options are affected by down votes.

Ah yeah though not directly mentioned, I guess it does imply that.

Map markers are one of those things that so many games have, and I never remember to use them!

Jumping into a new game and taking a different direction does sound like a good plan.

It was great while I remembered what was happening! But sometimes your only reference to a quest is something that says "Go out the door, take the third left, and look for an orange door" and you just have no idea even what city you were in when you got that note 😆

During the couple of weeks I was playing it, I didn't actually feel lost at all. But now trying to return to it just feels more like a chore than a good time. I'm playing Baldur's Gate 3 now instead, I'm back in the era of quest markers!

I started playing Morrowind maybe 6 months back, got hours into the game and was having a good time. Then I didn't get a chance to play for a month, now I haven't gone back because I have no idea what I was doing since half the stuff doesn't seem to be written in the journal, and when it is, it assumes I remember who the person is or where I was supposed to be going. So I just haven't picked it up again.
