I think it’s mostly subjective or anecdotal, but what comes to mind:
If anything, the only reason why I still use reddit is for smaller, niche, communities. To that end, yeah Lemmy is smaller, thus the smaller reddit communities are even smaller here. If I find myself wanting to make a post on a given niche topic, I typically post on Reddit AND here. Sometimes, my post on Lemmy will somehow get more comments than reddit still though. Reddit posts seem to fall off after a day or so, that’s not typically the case for Lemmy if you do trend something.
At the end of the day though, this is just a social media platform, and the enjoyment you get out of it comes down to you. ☺️ One tip I do have though is to sort by “Top of 6h” or “12h”. I don’t like the “Hot” sorting on here that much.
I don’t think this is definitively “better” than reddit. The functionality of the site is more bare bones. No big hidden features or anything like that. What you see is what you get as far as interfaces go. But I am enjoying it. It reminds me of a much younger Internet and much simpler times. I am loving that Lemmy servers are run by your average joe who just wanted to start up a Lemmy community. No single CEO who only cares about how profitable a site is.
PWAs (Progressive Web Apps) are their own categories of websites and they do indeed have the ability to behave like an actual app. They are much more than just a shortcut, which apple is reducing them to.
On android, my PWA that I developed for fun can go full screen and appear as though a browser isn’t wrapping the page, I can send notifications, I can access the microphone and camera, I can do nearly everything you could expect an app to do, I can support offline mode, I can store data locally, and I can manage my PWAs permissions as well as uninstall my app at an OS level. My entire family uses my PWA, and they see it as an app.
Are there some things native apps can do that PWAs can’t? Absolutely, but that is not the point. PWAs are an open and clearly defined technology to the web. Windows supports them as well.
Apple is refusing to accept that though. They are removing notifications, badges, etc, and reducing them to what you have described, just a shortcut to a Safari window. They are citing security concerns even though other operating systems are able to implement security around them just fine.
The real issue is Apple wants more control over how you use your device and is acting against the consumer.
It goes deeper than that. On some of those keyboards, you’ll see that there aren’t even number keys and other somewhat common keys such as ()$&! And more.
These types of keyboards are almost always programmable. If you’re familiar with the FN key, then these keyboards have more advanced FN keys.
Press one programmed FN key, the entire keyboard might turn into a functional number pad. Press a different programmed FN key, asdfghj might turn into F1 F2 F3 etc. Press another programmed FN key, you can control media playback, control your mouse, and maybe even have a few macros!
These keyboards are ortholinear keyboards, that’s what this grid layout is. The firmware to achieve this level of customization is called QMK. It’s not just ortholinear keyboards that have QMK ☺️.
Yeah, another way I’ve heard it phrased is comments are for explaining why you did things a certain way, not for explaining what it’s doing.
That one was illusive!
In a different comment I think I’ve found the games!
Thanks to the help of the other comments as well as some screenshot reverse image searching, I think we finally have a list!
Edit: Ope, I forgot to type “Royal” after persona
Ah I thought #3 was Hi-fi rush as well but this appears to be the right ID. I haven’t heard about this game, interesting!
Hi fi rush has skateboarding??? 👀
Taking a shit in the dark, I think 5 is Steamworld dig. I will not elaborate further as I have never played that game, truly a guess
Edit: I’m leaving the autocorrect in
A lot of posts here have given out wonderful and helpful ideas! I can’t provide any more on top of this, but I want to speak to this:
How long to grow a community
However long it takes. Some communities never take off, some communities that seem obscure will sometimes propel to popularity. However long you keep at it is 100% completely up to you! As long as you are finding some fulfilling or enjoyment out of it. You don’t owe anybody anything in this regard. If you are tired or stressed from it, there is nothing wrong with dropping the community you tried to grow. You tried to start something, and that is commendable in itself.
With that said, I enjoy geocaching every few months or so when I look into it! Unfortunately there aren’t that many caches near me. I’ll subscribe and maybe make a few caches of my own!
Meh, number of games with Gold or Platinum Status on ProtonDB seems more significant IMO
Am I dumb or what’s up with the radio stuff on the left? 😅 Is rust common for some sort of radio programming?
