Unfortunately that setting seems to be broken in Jerboa, at least for me. I have it set to Subscribed but the app still opens in local view every time. Website works correctly, though.

Mandatory:

• Dark Reader for dark mode anywhere, and Invert Colors for the occasions when a site is not usable with Dark Reader.
• Ublock Origin of course, but I also still use uMatrix because even several years after it stopped being maintained, it’s STILL unmatched by any other addon in the content-blocker category. The granularity of being able to specifically allow scripts or frames or images or cookies from specific third-party domains or subdomains either everywhere or only on certain first-party domains, with a very intuitive visual grid (matrix) and subdomain selection, is incredible. I still don’t understand why it’s deprecated.
• Tree Style Tab and the related Tab Unloader. I forget things exist if they aren’t right in front of me, so if I have any intention of coming back to a site or a workflow, I need those tabs somewhere in front of me, tucked away in a tree waiting for me to get back to them. I regularly have between 100-200 tabs open. Being able to unload performance-heavy tabs without restarting the whole browser also helps a lot.
• Bitwarden because if you aren’t using some kind of password manager, do you even care about security?
• Translate Web Pages because not everything I want to read is in English

Nice to haves:

• Tranquility Reader, because the browser’s built-in Reader View often shits itself and doesn’t work, particularly on social media text posts. This lets me select the page contents I want it to grab in case the automated picker fails. It’s still a bit janky though; if anyone has a more polished alternative, I’d like to hear about it!
• Enhancer For YouTube, Sponsorblock, and Return YouTube Dislike
• stutter For when I feel like speed-reading
• Toolbox for Google Play Store

WINE Is Not an Emulator 😉

Seriously, that’s what the acronym means, because it’s not an emulator, it’s a compatibility layer.

There’s also Proton for Steam games, or even non-steam games, though it’s a little more complicated to set up in the later case.

Oblivion’s excellent with mods, though I’m unfamiliar with modding Bethesda games on Linux.

That anyone ever acted like that is so insane to me, it doesn’t even feel like it happened on the same planet. Among my middle/high school circle of friends through the 00’s, not a single one of us would have ever given shit to anyone, male or female, for playing video games. To us, every new gamer we met was a potential new friend who spoke our favorite language. Then we graduate, go out into the world, look around on the internet, and hear stories that there exist complete fuckwads on this green earth trying to keep girls out of gaming?? Like… what??

A web browser, yes, but you should be able to use your sopuli.xyz account just fine. For example, to get to the Jerboa community we’re having this discussion in, you would go to the URL https://sopuli.xyz/c/[email protected] in your web browser. What that does is basically tell sopuli.xyz to show you the community named “jerboa” hosted on the domain (instance) named lemmy.ml. Without the @lemmy.ml, it would look for /c/jerboa on sopuli.xyz, and get a 404 because it isn’t hosted there.

If you’re signed in to sopuli.xyz on that web browser, you can subscribe to the community from there, and then you would be able to get to it from within Jerboa. My account is with beehaw.org, so if I wanted to do the same, I would go to https://beehaw.org/c/[email protected]. It’s a bit weird, but not that complicated, and it will quickly seem normal once you get used to it.

All that said, one thing I’ve noticed is if a community from a different instance than the one you’re using has 0 posts, it will 404 if you try to go to it from your own instance, and it also won’t show up in a search within Jerboa. For example, [email protected] has 0 posts as of this writing, and will 404 if I try to view it from Beehaw or sopuli; it only shows up if I view it directly at lemmy.ml/c/animanga, which doesn’t help much since I don’t have an account with lemmy.ml.

I also had no idea, since mods for prior games had basically nothing, but wow, the Nexus page has a lot.

Sorry for the late reply. STAR stands for Score Then Automatic Runoff. The idea is every option is scored by voters from 0-5 stars, and the scores are added up from each voter to get the top two scoring options. Then those two options are ranked according to which was preferred (scored higher than the other) by the greatest number of voters. There’s a website about it, along with entries on Wikipedia and Ballotpedia.

As a newbie, having some way for a community to democratically replace a moderator definitely sounds like it would be an improvement over most (all?) non-federated social media services, but I think there needs to be some kind of election framework for community leadership positions in general, and that would be how bad moderators get replaced. At the very least, I hope any voting would use the STAR method.
