I hope you cover your license plate too lol

The top comment of this post would be some reposted for the 8000th time “inside joke” on reddit. For me, it didn’t matter what the post was about, every comment section was the same. It was especially frustrating when the post itself encouraged conversation and the top comment would be completely off topic.

Mastodon uses the boost button as well. I think it’s similar to an upvote, it just kind of helps the post get more attention. Since kbin is a kind of hybrid of mastodon and Lemmy, it uses both the upvote/downvote buttons and boost button. I’m not sure if boosting Lemmy posts does anything though. I haven’t used kbin or mastodon very much so some of my info may be incorrect.

Wow, Netflix was $20 a month back 2002! And that was before streaming lol

I think by default boost is circle (PlayStation) and B (xbox) and jump is x (PlayStation) and A (xbox). I believe roll/slide is mapped to square (PlayStation) and x (xbox). I changed boost to square/x and the roll button to l1/lb. I kept jump the same. It makes it much easier to jump/boost/roll/accelerate all at the same time.

I’m not sure your analogy about email services works here. Lemmy and Threads are not even close to being the same service as gmail or yahoo mail. It seems to me many people came to Lemmy to get away from companies like Meta though.

I also think the wii version was better than the switch version but they’re both awesome games. I also had no idea people didn’t like NSMB for switch until the announcement trailer for Wonder dropped. But for someone who’s first Mario game was Super Mario Bros 3, that whole series/style of gameplay will forever be what Mario is to me.

If you’re a student you pay $5 a month for Spotify, plus you get Hulu with ads, and Shotime.

Don’t forget another $20-$30 for popcorn and drinks!

Look into getting a n alternate start mod. That way you can skip the game up to whiterun or at least go back to it later

I’ll never forget I got this game around when it came out, which made me about 11. For some reason I was too stupid to realize this was a horror game based on the name and cover. I just read, “First Encounter Assault Recon”. The first jump scare had me panic unplug my ps2. I later worked up the courage to beat the whole game, which ended up being one of my favorite gaming experiences and got me into the horror genre. I go back and play through every few years on GoG.

lol I’m glad my post made its way around to you then.

I was referring to low admin interest. For example if you did allow a few users on your server, then you grew bored of it and shut it down, they would lose access to their accounts. But running a server just for yourself honestly sounds like the best option if you have the money for it.

NSFW friendly content is a big factor for sure. I’ve seen a few complaints about hiding nsfw content not working too well, so it seems many servers are totally against it. I hope that gets straightened out soon.

I only have one lemmy account right now, but I’m definitely open to trying out other instances, I’m just not sure what the point is as long as you’re not stuck on one that has been blocked by several others. I’ve subscribed to many communities across several instances. It seems to me aside from making sure you don’t end up on a blocked server, you just want to make sure you pick a server that is in it for the long haul. From what I can tell you’re also on sh.itjust.works, but have you tried making an account on any other servers?

Good point, I expect things to look very different a year from now. I’m honestly not sure if it will continue to grow or if its just a fad. I hope for the former.

I’m not too worried about getting banned. I plan to be a rather “average” person throughout the fediverse. I was a lurker for about 10 years on reddit, but I do want to be a more active contributor here. I’m going to try to respect each server’s rules as best as I can and just avoid the ones I don’t agree with.

I hadn’t considered making my own instance for private use. Not sure if that was what you meant or not. But it may be the safest way of ensuring your data doesn’t get lost. My worry with small servers is that who ever is running them might lose interest and shut down permanently. But if a server is too big, there may be disagreements that lead to de-federating. Thanks for the tips.

My main worry with smaller servers is that whoever is running them may lose interest and decide to shut down permanently. It does seem that the pros and cons tip in either direction as a server’s population grows.

Yep totally wrong post lol. Sorry for the missing context, I was trying to reply to a thread about the use of emojis.
