I’ve heard you don’t want the flat pack Steam, so…

The sputters have mostly been when reddit removeds up. The first big one was their API ban. The next was when they were going public.

So what made you switch after so long?

Maybe make an auto sorting pool that instances sign up for and just evenly assign new users an instance, so they don’t even have to “try hard” to choose one, then?

I guess, but I haven’t noticed a whole lot of point in picking an instance of interest, since a small amount of content comes from them all right now. I added a ton of instances to my feed so I’ve never noticed tchncs prioritized or specific to myself.

Lemmy is more work to get on and then find an apk to use. There needs to just be a simple and clear instruction set to get people over. Like a link to an instance they can easily join and here’s a good app to use. Sort by /all and top from last 24 hours.

Right now there are waaaay less users, so content is low compared to reddit, and you can’t just create your own sub at the drop of a hat.

Probably a lot more to do with people being pissed about reddit going public and selling their data to ai companies for profits.

I don’t read them, but it’s like advertising to get the Linux train rolling. I’m pretty sure those posts have significantly contributed to a lot of people giving Linux a try.

Who were the two with money?

Almost all my desktop gets used for anymore is gaming. The windows only anti cheat removed leaves me not messing with splitting what I boot up for.

Well…it exists, now.

So glad the Steam Deck has been an awesome powerhouse in giving valve reason to continue this push.
