  • The original image has something along the lines of “I hate this system” and the smug guy in the well is saying “Ah, and yet you participate in said system!” as a gotcha. I think the purpose in this one is just carrying over the smugness with which people post the XKCD when any new possible technological standard is proposed (whether or not it has any merits)




  • Right now that is a bit of a sticking point with Lemmy. Right now, as far as I can tell, none of the apps for lemmy really do discovery.

    If you are on an instance with a large amount of people, the easiest way is probably your instance’s communities list. This can be found by going to your lemmy instances web domain (in your case programming.dev) and log in. On desktop it will just show a little “communities” link in the top left you can click on, on the mobile site you have to tap trending -> explore communities.

    What this “communities” list does is list every community that anyone on your instance has subscribed to. Subscriber and daily active user numbers may not be accurate as they as far as I can tell only count your instance’s users.

    What I did when I first started lemmy was go through this list and subscribe to any community that remotely interested me.

    The place where you will be able to see the absolute most number of communities is a lemmy indexer like lemmyverse.net which lists almost all instances and has all of their communities listed.

    Other than that, though, I think discoverability is something actively being developed on the lemmy platform.

    Hope this was helpful and you enjoy your time here o7









  • Looking at the products website the dongle you are using only has driver support for Windows 10. Unfortunately, you need to make sure to get a dongle that supports Linux as far as I know. As for USB connection, that I’m not sure. Controllers have always worked out of the box for me on Ubuntu wired. Are you sure the usb cable your connection is capable of data passthrough? Some usb cables are power only.
