Manjaro. I’ve never known a distro break as much as this.

I generally don’t like to judge distro’s, because they’ve all got pros and cons. With Manjaro, the pros column is pretty empty :).

I resurrected: Degoogle!degoogle@lemmy.ml and have been trying to grow it a bit.

It was on 3.56k subscribers and 152 active monthly users on 21/7/23. 117 posts.

Now 4.54k, 333 active monthly users, 135 posts.

Best techniques I found was reach out to larger subs in a similar area with similar interests, link to their communities in your description and ask if they could do the same to help users find what they like. Also crossposting is great from larger areas. You can see crossposts from the main post and it’s easy to click and deep dive into there. Crossposting about 3 posts which resonated with the users did most of the heavy lifting.

They’re not forcing you to be on the official mobile app? That’s nice of them :).

Ooof. You’d think they’d have improved their processes after the tbow incident. Their rollback process is slow and issues take a while. Maybe releases more frequent than monthly isn’t for them.

Be the change you want to see.

You thought they were the leaders. They’re the followers, staying near the crowd.

Building communities is hard and takes time.

Apologies, I made a mistake. Just checked and it is a DuoCast.

Odd. I have HyperX Quadcast on OpenSuse TW. Both sleep and hibernate work fine.

It had modern kernel and software. It was the reason I use it. To support newer hardware. Thus was a year ago and I’ve been happy since. Maybe not Manjaro not master branch untested up to date, but as good as you’ll ever need.

If you like to brag that you use Arch or Gentoo, or you like a rolling update to occasionally break your system Manjaro style do not use OpenSuse Tumbleweed. Otherwise, go ahead and enjoy. I’ve used for over a year without issue. It’s fantastic.

Checkmate!

I hope it suceeds. As someone who uses OpenSuse Tumbleweed for a year now, I cannot recommend it enough. Solid company, and great work.

Looks very pretty. I wouldn’t personally use without a dark theme. Light can be overstimulating to some including those on the spectrum.

Improvement: It takes up a lot of space on activities not commonly done. Updates/source code/logout/settings/support/report issue. I’d hamburger these away.

That is a fair point and something I was thinking about. The heading definitely threw me off that path “average lemmy posts per day”. With that. it would be around 1/30th, but considering activity was low at the start of the month and higher by the end, it would be hard to get accurate numbers for that. The average went up 30k in 1 day to yesterday. 30k a day, is 900k total. Which makes this all the more confusing… :)

Another thought I had was some of the Active posts here get around 1.5k to 2k upvotes. Often on reddit, that is around 20-30k. So Lemmy could be around a 10th of that size.

Potentially in terms of activity, there is the passive consumption side of reddit (which is massive), and the active contributor side. Even if Lemmy is doing well in terms of the active contributor side, that is very useful to draw in the passive consumers. Potentially many want something known and trusted and maybe are less tech savvy. They may follow good content.

I think there is a FOSS projects based on Settlers 2 called Widelands. If you like that, it might be worth checking out.

Not at all. Shooting things with guns repeatedly is somewhat boring to me.

Yes, and since then there has not been one FPS that has interested me, so why would I know the intricate details of them?

Here here! For all it’s weaknesses, I’m learning to love Lemmy and it’s strengths.

Ha, touche. Loved Ocarina of Time. Oh gosh. I’m old.

How am I supposed to know that if I don’t follow the genre? Someone said 2013, I trusted that information.

“I don’t follow FPS” “As if you didn’t know this FPS trivia”

People who like to shoot polygons repeatedly are a little tetchy.
