On the browser you can look at the sidebar. Right under the community name (!yourcommunity) there are two icons. The one that looks like a pencil and piece of paper opens the community settings.

Do you think that dating is hard sometimes...? in c/[email protected]

It happened sometimes, but it was easier to filter those people out. Now those people have become the norm. Tinder absolutely is to blame for this.

Tinder ruined dating. It’s made interactions very transactional.

Ragebait like noahgettheboat, idiotsincars, publicfreakout. It’s the Jerry Springer of the 2020’s.

OOTL, I don’t know anything about Instagram. What is this?

AMPutator, RSS bot, timezone bot, a bot to provide a Reddit archive URL when someone posts a Reddit URL so we don’t have to send them traffic.

In a similar vein, a bot that links to a timezone converter.

YSK: Even though it isn't a foolproof criterion, the fact that a claimed "news" source is offered "completely free (as in free beer)" may suggest that it is poor quality in c/[email protected]

A lot of places in the US have (had?) small, weekly, free newspapers that are actually pretty good. They get by by being full of ads, often the kinds of ads more family-friendly outlets wouldn’t publish.

Favorite retrogaming Youtube channels? (lemmy.world)
 

I could list a bunch of general YTers that cover retro games among other gaming topics, but for those who mainly cover retro games I like Big Ole Words, Hungry Goriya, and Video Works.

I’ll go first.

When I was a kid my family had a TI-99/4A. The 99 series was Texas Instruments’ only real foray into the PC and video game market, and it failed to be competitive with Commodore, Atari, and Amiga. Most games were booted from cartridges.

My favorites were Hunt the Wumpus, a sort of early survival-horror with a turn-based grid system, and Alpiner, a mountain-climbing game with various hazards, kind of a reverse SkiFree. It also had the ability to read data from cassette tapes to load text-based games. The one I remember is Hammurabi, a sim/strategy game which I didn’t really get as a kid. Now that I’ve gotten into strategy games like Civilization and Romance of the Three Kingdoms it would be interesting to revisit.

I don’t understand people who say they can’t figure out Lemmy or KBin (lemmy.world)
 

Does federation have a bit of a learning curve? No doubt.

Is Lemmy buggy as heck? Absolutely.

But I don’t think that really justifies a lot of the comments I’m seeing in Reddit alternatives threads that it’s hard to figure out. The front page feed and sort options are very similar to Reddit. Searching for same-instance communities is not too difficult. Posting, commenting, and voting are all quite intuitive. What’s the problem?
