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

I like Tilix

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.

I wouldn’t say MSN isn’t a source but I see what you mean about the author info at the bottom. Looks like I also missed the part at the top of the MSN link that said it was originally posted at TheDesk, so I guess it is legit. I’d only searched up other sources just to cross-check the original to see if more than one outlet was talking about it and check its validity, so either way yeah it checks out.

msn has that name recognition. never heard of the other people.

It would certainly make me pause until they explained themselves

yeahhh, on second glance… OP’s username leans towards trolling

Yeah I definitely want to see how they respond

welp guess they’re not getting my donation this year

edit: this source looked very sus to me so I had to look up a more reliable one. Seems more legit at the MSN version.

a possible pro-tip/what i do: organizing your library with categories matching protondb status.

I’ve categorized every game i own by either borked, bronze, gold, native, platinum, or uncategorized for games not reviewed yet. Any new game I even think about getting i check protondb first. (Though now I try not to buy from steam and just go to DRM-free stores like GOG and Epic through Heroic.)

This way you have a general idea of which games might give you trouble when you go to try to play them, and how much tinkering you might have to get into.

You can also then target just uncategorized games if you wanna contribute to protondb with your own experiences and observations.
