I was trying to edit my comment and accidentally deleted it! D'oh!

If your goal were wider adoption, having a big "sign up" button that links to a random "recommended" general instance could be best (with the url/name clearly on the button). Put a "sign up on a different instance" button next to it, and a list of instances below that.

Of course - that's IF it's your goal.

I think Mastodon does this, but just a static link to mastodon.social instead of randomly rotating it.

Edit: that's what they do on the app - but not joinmastodon.org

And it would be - no choice is being removed. It's more of a "I'm not sure what all this is... I just want to join lemmy" button. But I know that perhaps that's not completely in line with the core/original culture of the Fediverse. But a lot of people have incorrect assumptions on what federation is, if indeed they know anything about it at all. This leads to decision paralysis and confusion. People overthink which instance to join, at least among the open "general" instances.

And it would need to be explicitly opt-in for each server.... I don't think BeeHaw would be open to this for example.

I dunno, I say un-IH-verse 🤷🏻‍♂️

I love boyboy (and IDidAThing)

They said they're going to do another episode like this, but for China.

Is it not a personal computer capable of running whatever you wish?

Not that you can't game on Linux! It's better than ever now. /c/linux_gaming@lemmy.ml

Fedora Linux (KDE spin), and macOS (Hackintosh)

I like macOS quite a lot. It's UNIX and has much of the same tools as Linux, with more polish and commercial support.

I use Linux for gaming, macOS for general use.

I used to have a Windows partition but hardly ever used it. And every time I booted it I remembered why I dislike it so much. Also Windows Update is THE worst OS update solution there is.

If I ever get a better VR headset I might reinstall windows for VR gaming. But until then, don't need it.

TIL I mix my drinks wrong

Gopher? Now there's something I haven't heard about in a long time

That's true, but as you can only create communities on your own instance, I don't blame anyone not wanting to make a new account.

It's probably better to ask in /c/jerboa@lemmy.ml

It seems like they're working on the notification feature now
