Edit: thanks everyone for the suggestions!
Do keep them coming as it might be helpful for others who come across this, since it seems quite a few users are (understandably) bleeding from lemmy.world these days, like myself

I was looking for a solid instance to move to, but I'm getting burned out from trying to find the perfect instance that:

• is based in a country with reasonable privacy reputation (if it still fits the bill, outside Europe too is fine)
• allows creating communities without admin approval (I'm willing to try getting into one of those too if needed, hopefully it would be accepting of creating niche communities though)
• doesn't defederate indiscriminately

The tool I used is lemmyverse.net but it seems the filtering isn't working great, or I just don't understand it, e.g. I filter by Italian language and the only Italian instance I know (feddit.it) doesn't show up, while a slew of irrelevant ones is listed (Lemmy Português is there??)

Sorry if I sound so needy, maybe I'm just overthinking it, since posts are public and indexable by anyone. Do say so, if I should chill out and just pick one of the usual ones like lemm.ee etc.

P.S. I would love to self-host, but I'm currently not able to either, I don't have enough technical expertise.

Is it ok to post personal projects regardless of size?
What I mean is, if we can post, does it have to be something actually good and useful, or can it be little toy projects as well?

Do we know any more about the plans of Tumblr for when it will join the Fediverse?
Matt did say "ASAP" at the time. Start of July saying they're still working on it, did he simply underestimate how big of an undertaking it would be?

In this video I see that the top panel somehow stays visible when they enable the overview effect, but I found no setting to do that, is it because I'm not using Latte dock, but using the built-in panel instead?

I've set a specific provider under the Private DNS setting and it works for the direct connection between the phone and the network, but it won't work on the devices that are connected to the hotspot of my phone, they instead fall back onto the default DNS of my ISP.
Is there a way to force that DNS on all the devices connected?

Don't get me wrong, bringing more visibility to the platform will always be good, but wanting to jump ship from e.g. Jerboa to a port of one of those proprietary apps (Boost, Sync, etc.) kinda defeats the point of using an open platform in the first place.

I fully believe that each app developer should get their work recognized and make their apps paid if they wanted, I'm sure many will be inclined to buy them from the store still because of the convenience and/or wanting to support the developer.

But I think alongside the API conversion there should also be a shift in the development paradigm that follows up on the culture of the whole platform, Lemmy is free (as in freedom I mean) software, most of the Fediverse is, of course no one forces you to make your client free too, but the developers should feel encouraged to embrace that way of working and in turn users should be attracted to options that were made so, that will also foster powerful growth of the platform when everyone can examine, learn and contribute since clients play a crucial part in the interaction with the service

Edit 2: Finally found the solution, a user on GitHub got it https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/519#issuecomment-1569721291 It was due to my Intel ARC GPU apparently that is missing some support

Edit 1: I installed the Epic version too with Heroic and it starts without a hitch, so I think we can rule out hardware issues, still when it gets to the loading screen within the game it alternatively fails saying that it can't connect to the net or isn't able to instantiate EAC

I just got the game after looking on ProtonDB since it is supported apparently, but every time I launch it, it always just crashes like that.
The only info I could get was from running from the terminal, at some point it says for 11 times:

LogWindows: Warning: SymLoadModuleExW. Error: 6

And then:

LogWindows: Error: === Critical error: ===
LogWindows: Error:
LogWindows: Error: Fatal error!
LogWindows: Error:
LogWindows: Error: Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000000

There's a lot of other stuff too before and after, if that is important tell me and I'll add that in, but I figured it wasn't, I have no knowledge though.
