  • What did you expect? You should not assume that Linux works like Windows or whatever OS you previously were using. They work very differently.

    It also depends on which DE you are using. Since you’re using Mint with Mate, which is not really something that provides customization GUIs out of the box and as popular as something like GNOME or KDE Plasma. I suggest you try KDE Plasma as it is known to be very customizable and one of the more used DEs. I don’t know about cursor trails, but you can change your cursor by installing cursor skins from the page in the settings or make your own skins to get the color you want. It’s really simple.

    You’ll also need to get over your fear of the terminal if you’re going to use Linux. I’m not telling you to use terminal for everything, but some types of customization requires you to use the terminal and it is a good thing to know anyway.

    Any errors? Can you tell us what you input into the fields when creating a new community? Did you try another frontend (Photon, Tesseract, etc.)?

    Oh and also, do not input any emojis into the community name field. That can’t contain such things, only a subset of ASCII afaik. The display name can contain them.




  • Well, the storage and bandwidth for the images is not free. I encourage you to use external image hosting services, like catbox.moe. You should know that these instances are run by individuals like you and me, with no ads, no selling your personal data, etc.

    Then you can embed them using this markdown syntax: ![alt text](image url)

    In most Lemmy apps, there is an interactive UI for your convenience.

    You also might consider self hosting your own private instance, like me and a few hundred others. Then you have full control over your instance and with which instances you federate with.
