  • I really like it here. However, almost 90% of my feed is either posts about Reddit, or Lemmy/kbin meta analysis. We need actual content and communities over here!
  • This; keep in mind that Rexxit is still ongoing and there are a lot of new arrivals here. So it makes sense that the pain of departing Reddit as well as adjustment pains settling into the Fediverse will be a theme for a while. As people get used to the new way of things, I have no doubt these “meta” issues will naturally become stale.

  • What's up with some communities here having [community]@lemmy.world but not just [community]
  • This has happened to a bunch of the communities I created on Lemmyworld. I’ve been trying to ask for help - have created some threads about it and tried DMing the admins - but have never gotten a reply. Not sure what recourse I have, but I get a lot of DMs from users telling me it’s broken.

  • Need help with odd community naming behaviour - users having trouble joining my communities

    I’m new to Lemmy and am pretty confused by a problem I seem to be having; I created a bunch of communities here on lemmy.world, but I’m having a weird issue with the naming of them, and I wonder if you all might be able to help. I tried messaging the admins of Lemmyworld but haven’t gotten a reply.

    The communities I created look like completely normal remote communities to me from across the fediverse here from lemmy.pt, but I see that from inside lemmy.world, they have names that include lemmy.world.

    For example, this board /c/wine - from my end it looks normal (https://lemmy.pt/c/[email protected]) but from inside lemmy.world it’s not got a /c/wine URL, instead it’s https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] - which apparently breaks /c/wine links from inside lemmy.world.

    I created like 10 other communities that are exhibiting the same problem.

    It… seems like posts still get back and forth okay, but I’m at a loss to explain how this happened (I didn’t name the communities [email protected] when I created them), and I’m unsure how big of a problem it is. I don’t seem to be able to rename the URL component nor can I now create communities with the same name without the @lemmy.world part. My ability to do anything with the mod tools seems nonexistent.

    It seems to be causing issues for some users however as I keep getting DMs about it.

    If you have any suggestions on how to proceed, I’m all ears. Thanks!

    Apple M2 Ultra (24 core) outperforms $3,299 AMD Threadripper 5979WX (32 core)

    This means that the $3,999 Mac Studio configuration with this chip outperforms the $3,299 super high end CPU offered by AMD - and we’re comparing a whole computer to just a processor without motherboard, memory or graphics card here. A very compelling desktop offering for pro users!

    Whisky 🥃 | A new app wrapping Apple's recently-announced Gaming Porting Kit to run your Windows games on Apple Silicon Macs.

    You may have seen the WWDC news about Apple's new Game Porting Kit , which among other things, can run Windows/DirectX 12 games, ostensibly to let developers test drive their games to encourage them to port to macOS.

    Fortunately for us, said tool is actually built on WINE/Crossover, Apple forked it and built a bunch of patches to map DirectX onto Metal.

    Introducing Whisky, an open-source app that wraps the Game Porting Kit much like Crossover wraps WINE, allowing you to run many Windows games that previously didn't work with such a setup.

    You need to be running the macOS Sonoma beta to actually use this. Here's how to do that.

    Icebreaker: What's the most recent bottle you enjoyed? 🍷

    Kicking it off: Nipozzano Reserve 2018, Chianti Rufina. A really nice variation on a classic Chianti, light and fruit forward but with a surprising amount of tannins - pretty heavily oaked, relative to a Chianti Classico anyway, it was no Knights Valley cab. Exceptionally balanced and highly recommended.
