Mastodon uses the boost button as well. I think it’s similar to an upvote, it just kind of helps the post get more attention. Since kbin is a kind of hybrid of mastodon and Lemmy, it uses both the upvote/downvote buttons and boost button. I’m not sure if boosting Lemmy posts does anything though. I haven’t used kbin or mastodon very much so some of my info may be incorrect.

Wow, Netflix was $20 a month back 2002! And that was before streaming lol

I think by default boost is circle (PlayStation) and B (xbox) and jump is x (PlayStation) and A (xbox). I believe roll/slide is mapped to square (PlayStation) and x (xbox). I changed boost to square/x and the roll button to l1/lb. I kept jump the same. It makes it much easier to jump/boost/roll/accelerate all at the same time.

I’m not sure your analogy about email services works here. Lemmy and Threads are not even close to being the same service as gmail or yahoo mail. It seems to me many people came to Lemmy to get away from companies like Meta though.

I also think the wii version was better than the switch version but they’re both awesome games. I also had no idea people didn’t like NSMB for switch until the announcement trailer for Wonder dropped. But for someone who’s first Mario game was Super Mario Bros 3, that whole series/style of gameplay will forever be what Mario is to me.

If you’re a student you pay $5 a month for Spotify, plus you get Hulu with ads, and Shotime.

Look into getting a n alternate start mod. That way you can skip the game up to whiterun or at least go back to it later

I’ll never forget I got this game around when it came out, which made me about 11. For some reason I was too stupid to realize this was a horror game based on the name and cover. I just read, “First Encounter Assault Recon”. The first jump scare had me panic unplug my ps2. I later worked up the courage to beat the whole game, which ended up being one of my favorite gaming experiences and got me into the horror genre. I go back and play through every few years on GoG.

lol I'm glad my post made its way around to you then.

I was referring to low admin interest. For example if you did allow a few users on your server, then you grew bored of it and shut it down, they would lose access to their accounts. But running a server just for yourself honestly sounds like the best option if you have the money for it.

NSFW friendly content is a big factor for sure. I've seen a few complaints about hiding nsfw content not working too well, so it seems many servers are totally against it. I hope that gets straightened out soon.

Picking an instance (sh.itjust.works)

After spending a few days learning about lemmy and other fediverse websites, I was curious about people's processes for picking a server that is right for them. I've seen most posts say to pick one that is not too big or small and that has similar interests as yourself. But if we are all mostly federated, doesn't it make the most sense to join the biggest or likeliest server to stay around and federated with the most other servers? Then you can just travel to the instances you share interests in. I chose this instance because you could just sign up and be in it, and that was all I needed to check things out. And although I found many communities in other instances, even if let's say all of my subscribed communities are on other instances, doesn't it make sense to just stay here so long as they are federated with sh.itjust.works? It may be too early to know for sure, but it seems like this instance is going to stick around for the foreseeable future, why risk joining the smaller instances that might not be here for long. Also, if you have subscribed communities in several instances, I assume you have to follow all the different server's rules. I'd be curious to hear other people's thoughts in regards to picking a home instance.

Edit: Are there any restrictions to interacting with communities on other instances?
