Ich folge Laszlo auf Mastodon und Pixelfed tatsächlich bereits :-) Einen Pixelfed-Account habe ich nicht, ich bin aber auf Mastodon und betreibe meine eigene Instanz für Vogelliebhaber und poste dort auch meine Fotos.

Morgens rausgehen und Vögel beobachten und fotografieren! Heute auch wieder gut vier Stunden unterwegs gewesen.

That’s one of the bugs.

Hm, maybe that’s a problem with the instance you’re on? Mine loads fine.

What problems are you facing on the website exactly? I’m just accessing my instance’s website via Safari and it works pretty okay. I’d just recommend opening threads in a new tab, perhaps.

There isn’t really an alternative to Mlem at present, so the only thing you can do is to make due with it for now and / or use the website. I mainly use the website at present because Mlem doesn’t have a compact mode.

Fallout mostly. It’s all just so grey and boring and not fun at all. If I want to see a wasteland I can just go outside /s

salvaging gear will give you mats you’ll really want later in the game. You’ll probably have enough gold and can skip selling

I’ve been salvaging everything that I don’t need and have been wondering - what does that even do? What do I do with the stuff I get from salvaging? Wouldn’t it be better to just sell everything?

Same experience as you with D4. Fun game but the always-on requirement is a tad annoying. Not deal-breaking for me, but I have had my fair share of rubber-banding on my SteamDeck, especially with Bluetooth headphones connected. D2R worked well offline, why not have an offline mode here?

And I still know tonnes of people, especially at my workplace, that drive SUVs with “Fuck you Greta” stickers and that complain about everything and anything that is even remotely related to climate change.

Maybe because of nostalgia, but I will always come back to the Fable 1 and 2 OSTs. Especially Fable 1. Bowerstone especially I love.

I used this guide: https://www.polygon.com/23750107/how-to-play-install-diablo-4-steam-deck

I read that it is apparently also possible to simply install the Blizzard Launcher from Lutris, but I haven’t tried that personally. The above guide worked without problems for me, though.

Absolutely! Currently running Diablo 4 on the SteamDeck using Proton Experimental. Runs perfectly on medium-high settings at 45-50 fps. It’s insane how far we’ve come. When I first started using Linux over ten years ago, running Windows games was nigh-impossible. And Valve finally released their Steam client for Linux, the selection of games was … very limited.

For that to happen, I believe that interacting with people from other instances and moving your community and account from one instance to another have to become possible / easier.

At present, people flock to the instances with most users as those often have more local content (local content is generally easier to find than federated content) and they often have a smaller risk of shutting down. If I create a community on a smaller instance, the chance of it being found and interacted with are also much smaller than if it had been created on a bigger instance (because of, as I said, local content being user to find).

Sure, I can create an account on myfirstlemmyinstance.com (example URL, not an actual instance) with 10 users, but if my instance decides to shut down, my community of, say, 500 users will now have to move somewhere else and all old content will be deleted.

Ideally, I think no one instance should have a million users to begin with.

A lot of smaller instances defederate with mastodon.social because it’s very unmoderated. Tonnes of spammy accounts often flood smaller instance from mastodon.social which made a lot of admins defederate with it. Just as a heads up. You might not see posts from quite a few instances.

Ich vermisse den Sommer nie. Herbst ist eh am besten.

I’ve heard lots of good things about Chained Echoes, a recently released JRPG in the style of those older NES / SNES games. Might be up your alley. Runs natively on Linux afaik.

That probably also depends on what instance your own, I am guessing. A lot of them are experiencing such a large and unprecedented influx of new users, it’s often hard for them to cope with the existing hardware they’re running on.

I think it will be similar to how it was on Mastodon. I created a Mastodon instance back during the Twitter exodoi and had a big influx of new users. But those users only posted maybe a handful of things until they stopped logging in altogether. So I am now left with like 400 registered users but maybe a few dozen or so that are still active.
