Had to experience that first hand. I tried to get my best friends to register on my Matrix server last September and join a room for our group, and they did, but I rarely see any of them online and I only get responses days later, if at all. One even stopped using it entirely, lol. Ah well, but at least I got a Matrix server out of that that I can use to federate with other like-minded people.

All of this is confusing af

It just isn’t possible, and we should want to dumb down the introduction too much. The Fediverse is not a centralised medium, and to participate in it, its users should understand that, analogous to how you would instruct people before using motor vehicles. Some things are just essential and need to be taught. Not teaching the stuff doesn’t make it disappear. If some people cannot get behind the idea, then either find novel, intuitive ways of conveying it, or just accept that they cannot be a part of the Fediverse.

Are you certain that Element does not run in the background? It always does for me, both on my Samsung with OneUI and on another Samsung with LineageOS. Perhaps not really helpful, but my observation is that Element’s background “listening for notifications” is quite reliable. Might this be due to some settings in your OS?

Love it! Never played TradeWars before, did a couple of successful trades today, great fun! Thanks for hosting!

Have fun

No, Prusa is perfect for them based on what they stated. Don’t recommend then stupid Chinese crap

Where did you get that from? Why should Lemmy be hostile to that? We often get posts about donating to valuable projects and such.

Not everything revolves around money. It is a hobby, in the first place.

Blender can absolutely be great at creating precise geometry, one just needs to know how to properly use the tool. Yes, the workflow will be much different than in other CAD, but principally, Blender is just as good as any other, or even better due to a more extensive development history and greater degree of maturity.

Prusa is a very FOSS-friendly manufacturer. Their entire slicer and the firmware for all of their printers are free and open-source. And they make really high-quality 3D printers. With 500€ you should be able to get the Mini, though getting the larger flagship MK4S may pay off more in the long run.

As many others have already said, Lemmy is fully indexable by search engines. In fact, in this very community there have been posts about Lemmy content being above other results from more prominent sites like Reddit for certain topics.

What? There is no “Fediverse objection” to indexing by search engines. Who told you that? Lemmy is actively being indexed and is showing up when you search for posts.

Okay pal. Judging from your comment history, you seem to be a very belligerent person. Maybe it is time for reflection? Maybe it’s not always the others that are stupid? Maybe it’s not always you that has the “moral high ground”?

So take your pompous attitude and choke on it.

See how your blatant and baseless assumption falls apart? Idiot.

So sick of you Linux clowning fanboys parading your free advertising.

Maybe they could? After all, these things were built.

Snake case for all kinds of file names and camel case for programming

And KHTML! Basically, KDE work is the foundation of the browser engines behind Chromium and Safari.

That’s also confusing and it is not the full saying. The full saying is “free as in free speech, not free beer”.

From the FSF website:

Free software is a matter of liberty, not price. Think of “free” as in “free speech”, not as in “free beer”. Free software is a matter of the users’ freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software.

I don’t think that “live chat” is fitting for Lemmy. It is an aggregator in the first place. There are already other FOSS services for live chatting, such as Matrix. IMHO, adding such a feature to Lemmy would be out of the scope of the project and probably result in a bad and dysfunctional implementation.

P2P? How is that supposed to work? You cannot expect every user that uploads a video to even have remotely enough uptime for any arbitrary interested person to successfully watch their video
