Check out /c/macgaming for example - I bet https://lemmy.world/c/macgaming doesn’t work but https://lemmy.world/c/macgaming@lemmy.world does, right?

Safari is way, way more battery efficient than any other browser. I use Firefox when plugged in but Safari on the go for this reason :-)

I’m stumped, not sure what I can do without help from the admins to look into it

[–] sparky@lemmy.pt 9 points 2 years ago

Appoint more moderators on your own instance.

I can’t say I’m shocked, but I am disappointed. But at the same time - Lemmy/Kbin is the answer. This is the way.

[–] sparky@lemmy.pt 4 points 2 years ago

Reddit is deaddit. Long live the glorious Lemmy-Kbin Continuum.

This is an incredibly selfish, dipshit move. They’re trying to prioritise the growth of their own instance at the expense of Lemmy and the Fediverse as a whole, at a time when we should all be banded together to accept the massive influx of departing Redditors.

It’s exceptionally selfish to cut apart the community and try to promote your own instance while the Lemmyverse as a whole is experiencing a mass influx of users. This will create confusion and frustration at a time that we should be rolling out the red carpet as a community for the Reddit exodus.

I think this is very disappointing, and exceptionally selfish, to split up some of the largest Lemmy communities while a mass Reddit exodus is ongoing. We should be sticking together and trying to grow the Fediverse as a whole, rather than trying to wall off any one single community at this point. That said, I hope this is the end of this approach, and that smaller instances, particularly ones that support a particular community won’t be pushed aside as well (hello from Lemmy Portugal).

No kidding! It’s a small community, but very friendly, and thus far high-quality in terms of discussions!

[–] sparky@lemmy.pt 7 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Wait what, seriously? This early into the Lemmy saga they cut off the two largest instances from each other? What the hell are they thinking?

I reluctantly created a bunch because I want to have those conversations. I figure with time we can always call for volunteers and appointment help as needed. I’m hopeful that moderating a board on Lemmy will require somewhat less effort than Reddit due to the friendlier atmosphere and lower volume.

 

You may have seen the WWDC news about Apple's new Game Porting Kit , which among other things, can run Windows/DirectX 12 games, ostensibly to let developers test drive their games to encourage them to port to macOS.

Fortunately for us, said tool is actually built on WINE/Crossover, Apple forked it and built a bunch of patches to map DirectX onto Metal.

Introducing Whisky, an open-source app that wraps the Game Porting Kit much like Crossover wraps WINE, allowing you to run many Windows games that previously didn't work with such a setup.

You need to be running the macOS Sonoma beta to actually use this. Here's how to do that.

 

/c/strategy@lemmy.world, a new community to discuss RTS, 4X and Grand strategy gaming!

 

/c/emulation@lemmy.world, a new community to discuss emulating classic games. Not a ROM dump, a place for conversation, screenshots, emulator recommendations and configs, etc.

 

For me, Supreme Commander Forged Alliance is the staple and GOAT.

 

Wololo and welcome to /c/strategy, a community for all things RTS, 4X and strategy! Chat, organise games, post gameplay videos, and more!

 

Now pouring tannic commentary at a Lemmy near you.

 

Looks like a lot of nice new features this year. Having Xcode previews for UIKit apps will save me a ton of time.

 

Welcome to /c/macgamers, a community for Mac users to discuss video gaming on macOS and Apple hardware.

 

Couldn't resist the title! Welcome to /c/macintosh, a community for Mac users to discuss macOS, Macintosh hardware and use of the Macintosh platform!

 

Welcome to /c/florida, a board for residents and visitors of the beautiful Sunshine State. Any and all discussion is welcome here, as long as it pertains to Florida, and remains civil.

 

Introducing /c/vinyl for all lovers of tunes on spinny discs!
