Hope we get some comparable options yet, I only know of matrix and that one allegedly has tons of security and performance issues.

I don't know about discord issues, the hype behind is it mostly that it's free, very convenient, feature rich and can easily integrate bots. Its the go-to place to build communities nowadays.

Matrix issues that I read about can be seen here https://telegra.ph/why-not-matrix-08-07 . I haven't done my own research tho so I don't know if all of this is (still) true

Kaldo ,

Lemmy is a public forum, discord servers are usually for invite-only, more closed-off communities, and we're not talking about a lemmy replacement but rather how this is inadequate as a discord replacement.

IIRC the web app had some intrusive ads(hard to remove and taking a bug chunk of screen space), is the offline version any better?

Kaldo ,

Did they tho? Steam was absolutely terrible in the beginning, the only reason people used it back in the early days is because you needed it for super popular valve games. It had nothing to do with them being a solid storefront or anything of sorts.

What do you really enjoy doing?

I recently started learning hand tool woodworking and won’t shut up about it haha. I found a few books and channels that are helpful and feel real. The more I do it, the more it’s apparent to me that many things around me are just distractions. It’s really nice to unplug from everything and make some things or practice...

I've started to tinker with home server and self hosting recently, I was just wondering if the feeling of 'everything is held together by a thin wire that could snap at any point' ever goes away? Thanks 😁

Feels like there's alway some issue that requires a special unique workaround that could stop working at any point

Kaldo OP ,

Well, valheim now works straight out of the box on Pop_OS so that's an improvement! Haven't downloaded other games so not sure about that just yet though, still setting up my usual programs now.

On the other hand I kinda hate its GUI, I installed that gnome extension to make the toolbars customizeable and now it just crashes every once in a while, for example just few minutes ago alt-tab stopped working and everything minimalized and became unresponsive so I had to force shut it off. An hour ago I closed the laptop lid and when I reopened it later, the OS woke up to the login screen but everything was frozen and I couldn't do anything. It's a bit of a cursed OS, you can't even click the folder path to copy the path, I miss mint lol.

Kaldo OP ,

It is, I'm just saying that even games that worked fine on steam deck had issues on my nvidia laptop so I doubt its the game's fault.

Kaldo ,

Id hope they use the popularity to improve it further but I really don't wanna get invested in the same way I have with valheim, they have been mostly resting on their laurels so far and these developers will probably do the same. I hope I'm wrong tho, seems like a game I'd enjoy if it had more depth.

Kaldo ,

Yeah, that's always good advice, I don't mind missing out on hype since I'd be playing single player anyway. Enshrouded is also out and it might turn out to be the better option too, who knows. Seems like a good start of the year for survival games enjoyers either way.

Kaldo ,

Sounds like you want forums, basically :D

I'm pretty nostalgic for forums myself but while they are great for smaller communities centered around a specific topic, they were really difficult to navigate when it comes to larger general communities IMHO. Fediverse with its reddit-like structure has an advantage here, and I personally like the idea of AP and multiple smaller communities interacting. We just need better tech and UI.
