it’s not a warning… it’s an advertisement. like “hey, come read me, I’m good enough to get banned by bigots.”

agreed on Mint. Fedora seems to be more on the new, cutting edge side while Mint is stable and reliable. Much more beginner friendly because there’s less likely to be errors or niche issues, at least in my experience.

my dapper little lad always puts me to shame

I’m on like 3 different ones, mainly defcon.social. All of them are under 5k users. I use a desktop app called Sengi to show feeds from all my accounts at once and group the federated feeds together, so yeah I can watch lots of posts fly by or scroll through at my leisure.

And yeah I pretty much just watch until I see a post I wanna favorite or boost. That’s why I say it’s the best way to find new accounts you wouldn’t otherwise have thought to check out.

Generally my local and home feeds are much slower. So on mobile, when I’m done catching up on those I keep refreshing the federated. I would be so bored without the federated.

“federated next to useless?” nah it’s my favorite. best way to find new people to follow

I like Tilix

My Libby hold for the audiobook of Absolution by Jeff VanderMeer finally came in and I’m excited to start it.

Also started Piranesi by Susanna Clarke a couple days ago and it’s one of those that’s hard to put down.

unfortunately in my experience reddit still has more niche communities than can be found on lemmy, probably bc they have more users. they have more subreddits for specific games, cities/states, mental illnesses, spiritualities/world mythologies, art, music, and book genres… the number of times I’ve searched for a community on lemmy only for it to not exist makes me hesitant to accept this video’s claim. reddit still has more niches than us. we just don’t have the numbers or activity.

Oh, yeah, it is a Kindle Fire. I never got into e-ink.

I was able to just install F-droid and from there get Obtainium to import my usual apps, including Librera which I prefer over KoReader. No jailbreak necessary.

However… I do eventually wanna jailbreak it and get Amazon’s presence off there entirely if I can. Thanks for the references, for when I get there.

Just letting the more non-techy people know that you can get FOSS apps like KoReader without having to go all the way, so to speak.
