“Foreign” languages communities aren’t big enough on Lemmy for people to only post in them. Most people will post in English too.

I don’t know, I only have an instagram account so I can open posts/pics that sometimes are linked on a blog or website, and to look at that one cat account I follow when I log in once in a blue moon. No post of my own, no phone app. I don’t believe Meta knows a lot on me just via that. I wouldn’t want to lose the account just because I refuse Threads’ business model though.

r/pettyrevenge was also private for one hour lmao

Not very interested, except if everyone I follow on twitter moves there (which I doubt would happen, as most are rather trying to move to mastodon). But it would sure be nice to have a twitter that’s not run by fucking elon musk. Meta aren’t saints and facebook has been trash for many years, but they’ve never implemented absolutely dumb decisions as far as I know or made fools of themselves really. Nor does Meta’s CEO keep spouting reactionary nonsense and trying to be the center of attention at all times. I won’t ever install a Meta app on my phone, but I still think I actually prefer Zuckerberg over absolute clowns like Musk or Spez.

Tildes is pretty good in that regard. Though you can’t create groups (= subreddits) yourself iirc. I tried switching to there but I actuallly find Lemmy more convincing and fitting to my own use of Reddit.

You can make posts and create threads inside threads now. The tags and roles are pretty useful for a community too. Still, doesn’t compare to an actual forum, especially since you can’t vote or sort the comments.

What are some good indies that play fine on the Steam Deck? I’d like to use it more but don’t own many games that are compatible and have “comfortable”, smooth controls. I tried to play some of my favorite games on the Deck and figuring out the controls broke my brain.

I have mine but rarely know what to play on it, as my favorite games aren’t comfortable to play on the deck - ie AoE, Endless Legend, Phasmophobia… This thread is going to be quite useful for me.

In the app, the hamburger menu lets you search for communities (even those outside your local instance). If they keep the same name as when on reddit, it’s pretty easy to find them! There’s a lemmy communities browser, too.
