Pretty sure we're witnessing an AI gaining sentience. Amazing times.

Nothing specific on Lemmy yet, mostly sorting by new or active and scrolling through.

Back on Reddit, I was mostly on hobbyist subs, such as /r/mechanicalkeyboards, /r/hiking, /r/trucksim and /r/simracing

Hello from your tiny neighbour down south ;)

Ah, ich bin endlich zu Hause

Ich im echten Leben > Me in real life

Nice! Watch out for the mousemat when mounting the wheel though. I had a nice leather mousemat which was ruined by clamping the wheel on it over extended periods.

Beautiful. Compact, functional and very practical. I love it.

Feddit.de because Deutschsprachig and I loved Reddit, but would love to see a successfully federated version of it.

Anger and spite, like what other have mentioned, but also, it's always nice to be part of a growing community.

You feel like you're actually contributing rather than just being a statistic.

Thanks! Amazing how far we've progressed technologically, but are still stumped and easily misled by crappy headlines.

No, definitely not bothered. But it wasn't always this way. I was very self-conscious from my teenage years up to the first few years when I started working full-time.

It was only when I started working that I had to learn to deal with it. I was always taking feedback and criticisms very personally and as an introvert, felt extremely down plenty of times.

I taught myself to see things from the perspective and scale of the world - 7 billion people out there, what does it matter that a few people think of what I do, or what I am?

Of course, cutting out social media definitely helped a lot too. I still have my accounts, but have stopped using them actively, at least the ones that expose my personal life.

With social media out of the picture, I was comparing myself to my peers a lot less and spent much more time on productive things instead - learning a new language, skills, picking up new hobbies and all.

It's not easy, but it is liberating once you figure it out.

I, for one, actually like the wefwef icon. It has a personality of its own.

Perhaps the ability to customise and select an icon would be the real solution here.

I agree, losing access to the games after you stop subscribing is a deal breaker.

It's kind of like paying for a trial 'innit? I'd very much prefer free limited trials in that case. Thanks, but no thanks.

Nice, looking forward to see this handy feature get merged into an upcoming build!

wefwef is unique as an identity and the all lowercase styling makes it even more so.

I vote for wefwef and hopes it remains that way!

Awesome race! Congrats to Rowe Racing!

I think u/spez should be the first to do an AMA right here on lemmy.

Well, at least there's closure for the loved ones then.

Definitely number 3. I completely agree that Reddit was great for the niche stuff.

I mean, if not for Reddit, I wouldn't have organised multiple hiking and backpacking trips, sticking up propaganda posters about kayaking.

Ja genau. Leider wohne ich einfach zu weit von diesen Rennen entfernt. Also muss YT vorerst genügen. Ich kann die 24h Spa-Francorchamps kaum erwarten!

So, what's the key benefit of using it then?

I really can't wait to see what's the fallout of Reddit going dark. Does the community really wield the power? Or does Reddit have another ace up its sleeve?

Man, I miss the days of offline multiplayer. Split-screens, one person hogging WASD and the other the arrow keys.

Shit, I'm old.

That makes sense actually. Not a bad idea at all.

The native app is decent, if you haven't tried any of the other third-party apps.

I joined Reddit back during the Alien Blue days and transitioned over to Apollo when it launched. Using the native app felt like I stumbled onto a porn-addled spyware site with the ads and quirky UI/UX.

It was possible to use after some time, but after a week, I noped out and went back to Apollo.

"Never enhance images for these sites:"

Parkour!

I'd love to see someone code in the actual Comic Sans rather than the awesomely adapted Comic Mono. Indentation be damned!

This is my pile of shit. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Why not add it to a wishlist, then purchase it when it launches, or when it goes on sale?

I have never pre-ordered anything, because it always felt like I would immediately lose my money, but yet I can't use or have the item I paid for. Maybe it's just my insecurity when it comes to finances.

It's certainly fantastic and unprecedented, that different user bases, from very different types of platforms are able to come together and interact from their platforms of choice.

We may be witnessing a disruption right now. I do see more benefits than drawbacks with federated content, but that could just be my very biased point of view.

Genuinely curious why people pre-order. Is it because of the initial excitement and FOMO kicking in? Or is it a true belief that pre-ordering will support the creators to produce a better final product?

Edit: Punctuation and spelling.

Fuck /u/spez. I loved Reddit, but now I'm hoping that their upcoming IPO burns to the ground.

Reddit isn't a platform, it's community.

Man, this is turning out to be one of the worst pre-IPO disasters in history, if this move was indeed for Reddit to increase its valuation for an upcoming IPO. Really shot themselves in the foot with a shotgun.

Perhaps not enough content yet. I'm not getting any positive hits on Bing or Brave search.

One concern about federation is that search engines could potentially (and likely) dilute results because they appear to be coming from different sites and URLs.

If there was one, hopefully not like Reddit's!

Sweet Jesus. I never imagined so many subreddits would go dark over this.

You'd be surprised. It's a fintech firm.

Can't wait to give Le Mans Ultimate a go. I've always preferred specialised simulators compared to generic ones. Hope this lives up to the hype. Congratulations to Ferrari anyway!

Would one say Elon Musk is the cause of this?

Glad to see more women picking up gaming! Here's hoping that'll stop my wife from nagging that my gaming habits are purely a "men/boys" problem.
