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

You're banning someone from a community called "Controversial" where the rules state, "This is not a safe place" and "Challenge others opinions and be challenged on your own" because you disagree with them. In a post where you claim that defederating is censorship.

I don't know if you're trolling with this post or not but that is way too funny!

One server defederating from another is not a case of denying you from reading other people. You have the ability to join another server or make your own. You can even view content without an account. If I invited you into my house and you asked to watch a show on Netflix and I deny you, I am not preventing you from watching Netflix. I’m just not putting it on in my house. You can go home and watch Netflix.

The great thing about Lemmy and the rest of the Fediverse is not that they are all federated, but that you can find a server that blocks what you don't want to see. You can also create your own server for that purpose.

My parents are going on an out of the country trip next week and I get to look after their Mini Schaunzer, Sky! She’s by far the smallest one I’ve ever seen, most likely due to her being the runt. But she’s got a very sweet personality, I’m looking forward to spending some time with her ❤️

Edit: sorry the picture uploaded sideways I'm not sure why, it looks upright in my photos.

After spending a few days learning about lemmy and other fediverse websites, I was curious about people's processes for picking a server that is right for them. I've seen most posts say to pick one that is not too big or small and that has similar interests as yourself. But if we are all mostly federated, doesn't it make the most sense to join the biggest or likeliest server to stay around and federated with the most other servers? Then you can just travel to the instances you share interests in. I chose this instance because you could just sign up and be in it, and that was all I needed to check things out. And although I found many communities in other instances, even if let's say all of my subscribed communities are on other instances, doesn't it make sense to just stay here so long as they are federated with sh.itjust.works? It may be too early to know for sure, but it seems like this instance is going to stick around for the foreseeable future, why risk joining the smaller instances that might not be here for long. Also, if you have subscribed communities in several instances, I assume you have to follow all the different server's rules. I'd be curious to hear other people's thoughts in regards to picking a home instance.

Edit: Are there any restrictions to interacting with communities on other instances?
