  • Tips on getting started on a small instance?

    Jump

  • That doesn't work if no posts are being federated. First you need to follow people or groups/communities.

  • Growth of the Fediverse (20260802)

    Jump

  • similar to how you did the summed line item for "Threadiverse", can you do one for "Fediverse Excluding Writefreely"?

  • Tips on getting started on a small instance?

    Jump

  • You can follow Lemmy communities, right? Maybe something like @games@lemmy.world or @movies@piefed.social

    Also there's probably some bot accounts that boost posts, maybe you can follow one of those for a while until they start following the people that it boosts. Maybe @MostFollowed@mastodon.social

  • Linux back over 4% in the July 2026 Steam Survey

    Jump

  • That post doesn't even mention Steam at all lol, has nothing to do with Steam survey's Linux measurement

    So weird that there's a community specifically for hating Linux

  • Steam On Linux Use Back Above 4% In July

    Jump

  • "SteamOS Holo 64 bit" is down by -0.04%, so our growth this month isn't coming from the Steam Machine. I guess they haven't shipped many of them.

    Our gains are mostly from Fedora, Ubuntu, and CachyOS. A small amount of growth from Bazzite and Mint. A tiny growth for Debian.

    EDIT: They updated the page, SteamOS did have growth, just as much as CachyOS.

    Also interesting that Linux gained in a month where Chinese gained, usually that hurts Linux's numbers by a lot.

  • Is it the old in-order-execution architecture? 64 bit or 32 bit?

  • [Solved] Reason for different styles of cross-post link on Lemmy posts?

    Jump

  • That's because the original post did not have body text only a link

  • [Solved] Reason for different styles of cross-post link on Lemmy posts?

    Jump

  • the sh.itjust.works link is just the body text of the post, it's not really part of Lemmy's UI

    Lemmy does fill it in automatically when you start a crosspost and there is body text, but it's just plain text

    it's useful if your instance isn't able to find the crosspost automatically, but the automatic links are easier when they do exist like in your screenshot

    The whole thing is unpredictable and confusing

    I'm not gonna disagree on this lol

  • [Solved] Reason for different styles of cross-post link on Lemmy posts?

    Jump

  • Both links probably go to the same place. The difference being one link is directly to the post (which is hosted on the OP's home instance, not the community's) and the other link is in your own instance

  • SMART data on some old drives, can anyone beat my powered-on times?

  • I made my screenshots autosave to tmpfs

    Jump

  • I'd rather leave things as default when possible, /tmp/ being the public tmpfs and /run/user/1000/ being the private tmpfs

  • I made my screenshots autosave to tmpfs

    Jump

  • yea, in Spectacle click the Options, Configure Spectacle

    in General, check "Save file to default folder"

    and in Image Saving, set the Save Location

  • I made my screenshots autosave to tmpfs

    Jump

  • Because /tmp/ is accessible by any user

  • Reddit keeps pushing on being a closed platform, now rolling out mandatory logging for old.reddit.com - worth pushing for the fediverse again?

    Jump

  • I don't see your post. I think in Brave you would have to click to expand the Sidebar in order to make a post

    for a phone I would better suggest Boost, Connect, or Summit

  • I joined discuss.online but is that the same as lemmy?

    yes that's a part of Lemmy, that's all you need

    I don’t understand the fediverse at all. The instances are confusing.

    It's kinda like email. Think of it like you're on Gmail, I'm on Yahoo Mail, and the pottery community is on MSN. We can all talk to each other because we do like @mangobanana@gmail.com (in reality you're at discuss.online) and @die4ever@yahoo.com (I'm at retrolemmy.com). Usernames start with an @ like Twitter, community names start with an !

    So when you do a "Local" search you only see stuff from "Gmail" like yourself, but usually you want to search "All" not "Local".

    For viewing posts on my feed I prefer "Subscribed", this can be set as your default in your settings page.

    have you tried an app on your phone? they can be a bit simpler to use than the website https://join-lemmy.org/apps
