I joined lemmy.one because it presents itself as friendly to beginners/Reddit refugees. On the plus side, it’s worked very consistently and fast. They’re also federated with pretty much everything, so there’s plenty of content to choose from and narrow by subscribing and blocking.

On the minus side, you can’t create communities there and the only communities that exist are chat, meta, and some security and privacy focused communities. So you’ll have to get most of your content from across the ‘verce. (Which it part of the part of the point Lemmy anyway.) Also, as a beginner-friendly instance, there’s some tutorial-ish stickied messages depending on how I set my view settings.

The only significant disadvantage is if I ever want to create my own community, I need another account elsewhere. Otherwise, I’m pretty happy with my choice.

There was an attempt at the Vulcan salute.

Sometimes, but mostly I use tap to type. Usually swipe is accurate, but I don’t always want the risk that it’ll get something wrong and it’ll take longer to fix it than if I’d just typed it straight away.

Well, you mentioned Zelda so gaming’s accounted for. I also do some writing. I started out doing it in my head/fanfiction-y and eventually published a couple chapters with more to follow eventually. After simmering things around enough, I got some stories that are good/unique enough to begin writing novels about so I also work on those in my spare time. (Plus a few stories that’d work better in webcomic or GB Studio video game format, but I haven’t started practical work on either yet.)

Aside from that, I dabble in Linux/computers and such.

Such a glorious spectacle, the fall of a once mighty internet giant.

Yep, any Linux system with sudo can be configured to insult someone who types in the sudo password wrong. https://itsfoss.com/sudo-insult-linux/

Add ‘Defaults insults’ to the sudo configuration file. Then you can insult your brain when it forgets the password.

Seems like they put some effort into it. Controls are responsive and the pixel art is good. It doesn’t have the telltale “sliding dialogue box” that all GB Studio games seem to have.
