The only time I click on ads are on websites that actually have people buying ad space on websites that make sense.

Like... Fountain pen ads on fountain pen blogs. Or Linux product ads on Linux learning websites.

I never said that you shouldn't participate in new communities in Lemmy.

  1. The person said, "I still have to go back to Reddit since it’s the only way to get information for certain niche communities"
  2. A person replied saying why not just make the community here? (Though community could have already been made, but small or inactive)
  3. If you're looking for an answer for something right now, you'll do better asking somewhere more active. Though of course you can / should ask in both places.

Extreme example? Acquaintance asked a question in [email protected] and got no answers. Will more likely get more answers in /r/Gayfisting because it has 37K members. That is a niche community.

but you can get FDroid from the play store and then use it to install other packages not approved by googul

Where do you live where F-Droid is in the Play Store? In the US, you have to download the apk from the F-Droid website.

Do those platforms use multiple protocols?

Yes

Just because you create a niche community in Lemmy, doesn't mean you'll get enough people to help answer your questions. It's hard to get more people into a niche community. And don't forget that most people online are lurkers. Even if a place looks like they have a lot of subscribers, most of them don't actually post/comment.

IMO, it's so much easier to just use Lutris to install your game. Never had an issue with any repacks.

Setup your prefixes in Lutris, point to the installer, then install. After installation is done, just change that same setup to point to the .exe game launcher instead of the installer

Sounds like people should help out by opening tickets and pull requests as it's an active Git repo :)

Even megathreads eventually have some outdated info and dead links.

Not everyone is subscribed to all of those communities though. I just checked which ones they were posted to and I'm only part of this one. I would not have seen it if it wasn't crossposted here
