While I love the idea, many RSS users may not use Lemmy, and I would not want to restrict the use of this to lemmy users only. But for now, this seems to be the best existing option. Thank you!

My claim is admittedly not based on trying it myself. I suppose I should test out friendica and see for myself.

what do screen recording softwares for wayland use under the hood then?

My issue with MBin is similar to that of Friendica. It’s more expensive to self-host. Lemmy scales better.

What I am proposing would use the same exact lemmy backend. How would it magically use more resources with the same backend?

What you said is incorrect, the difference in features offered is not the only reason for the difference in resource utilization. Lemmy meme communities have plenty of images going around.

The argument that I want to test is that Lemmy is as up to this task as LemmyBB being a phpBB experience but with a lemmy backend. I am proposing something like that.

The reason not to go with the other alternatives is that lemmy seems to do much better on resource utilization, which would make it much easier to host and scale.

does OBS just do everything with ffmpeg, or does it introduce extra functionality?

Following users can be simulated by the client. Behind the scenes, every user will have their own community, and their personal posts will go there. If you follow the user, the client would make you follow that community behind the scenes.

But I suppose you would need to prevent other users from being able to post there, I did not consider that. Lemmy does not have that kind of permission control. So maybe this is not viable … hmm

You’re right that lemmy never intended to be a Facebook mock-up (and I hope my post did not seem to allude to that), but I was wondering if it could be made to be so by changing only the client but keeping the rest intact.

My limited knowledge makes me think that lemmy is easier to host, consuming less resources in general, hence why I want to consider it first. But I could be wrong.

You can do it for xmpp and Jitsi right?

Lutris is analogous to bottles, you wouldn’t run it in bottles

Still not following. Native clients are easier. A lazy person would be delighted!

There’s some context missing here. Why prefer bottles over a native client? You can still run the game in bottles right?

So there is no way with Rsync (under ssh) to set settings (config file or other) that will apply to all clients !!??
So it’s the client that configure rsync and the server !? there is no way around ?!

You basically want to use the daemon but under ssh. I looked into this before, and I think it is possible but the command for it is weird and confusing. Wish I remembered it, but just commenting to say that I vaguely remember there’s a way (or maybe I’m hallucinating).

I wonder what other useful key bindings we are missing out on?

Unfortunately bspwm is better. Binary separation allowed for just about any layout imaginable, but river does not.

Deciding Linux isn’t for you is one thing. Even deciding that you hate Linux is… Digestible. But what kind of internal self esteem and validation issues do you need to unironically participate in a community called “Linux sucks”?

Hating Linux is one thing. Putting in extra effort to justify to everyone that Linux is hate-able is a different kind of crazy.

I don’t need the client computers to be alive, only the central server (which could be github.com for example, so not even a server I manage).

Is explicit sync for nvidia in yet?

It depends! I spend most of my time in the terminal, and my terminal has a bit of transparency to it. Not too much to make it distracting, but just enough to make it pretty and pleasing.
