This is awesome! I would occasionally see someone showing up in a thread using their Mastodon account (usually fairly noticeable from the hashtags appending the message), and did get a bit curious about the workflow to do that. Seems a bit unintuitive, but honestly not nearly as clunky as some have made it out to be. The fediverse really is something special. Thanks for the informative post!
Looks like there’s an outstanding issue for it already on Github. Jeroba is likely taking a distant third place to backend and web-ui development time right now, so it could be a while.
Did the admins of each instance configure this, or does it occur because they are all public and each instance fetches data from everywhere else
The softwares can federate with whomever by default, so your second thought was spot on.
The reason I’m curious is because I’m wondering about building a read-only instance for myself.
This is a perfectly valid reason to stand up your own lemmy/kbin server. I’m considering the same thing myself. An instance like you’re describing would certainly need far fewer resources compared to a public instance, just keep in mind that you’ll need to set up and maintain it on your own; not a huge task for a single user, but it’s a task.
And to be a bit more clear on the terminology, you’re considering setting up an instance that has new user signups and new communities disabled, but with federation still enabled, correct? If not, than disregard everything in my last paragraph.
Thanks, I don’t know the proper way of formatting yet as it seems to depend on who you ask. Early days still.
Edit: Getting a 404 error when following that link on my sh.itjust.works instance. Think this is part of the problem.
Lots already. Of course depends on what your interest are. For ex. my subs
Oh god that looks delicious
Oh shit, that’s awesome! Are you planning to go with the actual arcade buttons?
I played through that once back in the day. I remember really enjoying it too; I guess that’ll be going on my replay list. Thanks!
Thanks for the heads up. Just forked the project and hopefully it should be relatively simple to change the API key and rebuild the app. That being said, keeping up to date with the upstream changes might prove more difficult
Damn that’s sad, I knew of the joy-con drift issue but the shoulder button issue is new to me. Wish there was some alternative I could think of to help besides new joy-cons which IIRC are pretty expensive. Sorry!. Steam deck hardware is awesome for what it’s worth, very repairable, relatively cheap replacement parts, good performance for the price, and you can go very far down the rabbit-hole with software if you are into that sort of thing. Limited exclusively to switch emulation I wouldn’t recommend it right now at least, but if you’re looking for a more general handheld gaming platform it can’t be beat IMO.
Just hit 5300!
Full disclosure: I didn’t use Yuzu while I had my steam deck, too busy working through my backlog of steam games laying in bed. But from what I’ve read performance seems to be just ok, not good not great not terrible. People are pulling around 20-25fps with I think? dips into the teens occasionally. The rule of thumb IIRC is expect to need 10x the computing power of the thing you’re emulating with a mature emulator and I really have no idea if steam deck is powerful enough or not to emulate the switch smoothly even with fully mature software which Yuzu certainly isn’t right now. So if you’re only going to be playing in handheld it could really could go either way. Alternatively if you’re willing to perform some surgery on your joy-cons there’s a manufacturer called gulikit that makes hall-effect replacements for joy-cons (IDK where they’re sold). I haven’t heard of any reviews for the joy-con model but I’ve heard good things about their equivalent for steam deck’s thumbsticks.
I used to, does that count? I’m still an avid linux gamer, but mine was just sitting unused compared to my desktop before I decided to sell. Either way, currently playing Zelda Tears of the Kingdom on Yuzu. Hasn’t been exactly smooth sailing but overall it’s been pretty good. The main issues are the emu being so new (bugs) and not having an idea what mods and settings are best for my particular hardware, and TBH steamdeck is great in this area since they’re all the same platform aside the storage.
Yeah It’s kinda like fitting a square peg into a round hole as far a as usability in this state, but as an example of interoperability it’s pretty exciting IMO. And it’s cool when scrolling through a thread in Lemmy someone can just pop in from their Mastodon and make a comment or reply to one without needing a separate account or service. I’m not even sure if the Mastodon devs are interested in making that flow more seamless or not, but it would be cool to see.
