Though, closer to Youtube, afaik only Odysee and Rumble in size and premise, and Nico Nico and Peertube just in premise. Also on Peertube specifically, as mentioned before, it uses ActivityPub, so people on compatible softwares can follow either the channels (e.g. from Lemmy), or the people posting the contents (e.g. from Mastodon).

Additionally, and poking @[email protected] on that too since iirc Baldur’s the guy behind the Normals instance, Peertube’s channels are usually treated as communities by Lemmy and the sort.

You can use this page as a catalogue btw: https://grayjay-sources.github.io/

However, as overarching and as big as Youtube, there’s none, so you’ll have to contend with nicher platforms for niche subjects. Like e.g. for Youtube Shorts-style videos, Odysee, Loops or TikTok.

Loops btw, isn’t supported on Grayjay yet, but uses ActivityPub, meaning you can follow users from Mastodon, Mbin, Misskey, etc.

If you must, imo, get a version with disc reader, avoid updating the console, mod the system as soon as possible, and install Linux on it.

Seems to be solved already from one of your comments, but there’s some useful tips in such cases.

For example, if you write in a comment, post, DM, etc. the community handle, you get a community mention you can open locally (at least on browser; I don’t use the apps), e.g. !privacy@lemmy.ml becoming [email protected]

Similarly, if you go to https://lemmy.world/search and search for a post’s link, it should pull the given post even if it hadn’t previously been fetched, thus allowing to view the community too (which also gets pulled if it hadn’t before either). For example, searching for https://szmer.info/post/17039481, a post from the Privacy community you wanted to join in, pulls the local copy for lemmy.world, https://lemmy.world/post/54245878.

Another thing, an external community only gets populated when older posts are pulled manually, e.g. through the search function above, and/or when someone subscribes to that community, thus pulling newer ones as they come.

I think it captures the expression well, and the style still feels close to the original. =)

Luckily also, blocking here is less nuclear, since users and contents are pretty spread out, while removing from your feed those that get blocked. 👌

If you’d be interested, maybe also post to NeoDB, a fediverse reviewing platform? Looking at the instance I use, there’s an entry for the game already, so no need importing it.

From what I’d seen in the announcements of lemm.ee when it was alive (RIP), one concern by the administrator was if the instance should keep local copies of files for as long as possible, as a timed cache, or link to the original instance. So taking it as an example, the technology for local copies does seem to exist on Lemmy at least.

Illegal in one country may not be in another. Like in Brazil, to my knowledge there is not rules against console mods and game dumping, but in Japan console mods are illegal and in the USA dumping Nintendo cartridges. Furthermore, in the Brazilian constitution, one of the opening statements is that “you shall not do or cease to do anything if not in virtue of law”.

So in this example, if 3 instances are tied by such an external organization, one for each country, which will be breaking their local laws to allow or not discussion on modding and dumping?

And on judges being voted out, Brazil also works as an example: Ill-intended judges just need to sit quietly enough for long enough until they have a majority, and then they can rule as they please.

I think it sounds good only until put in practice.

If 99% is useful but 1% goes against the instance’s philosophy, they have to accept this 1%. But if someone involved in picking what is put in this overarching moderation starts pushing this 1% to 2%, 4%, ever more through the Overton Window, it would deteriorate more and more the instances that had to accept the original 1%.

And even without the possibility of intentional sabotage, one rule being applied for every individual instance would still mean instances would need to adapt for the lowest common denominator, meaning a slow end of individuality. And if a small instance is no different than a big one, those bigger ones start canibalizing the userbase of the smaller ones.

What I expect to happen, and that already does to some extent, is to clusters of instances with similar interests to form, and by extension being prone to accept aligning moderation and philosophies with their direct allies.

But that’s still mostly a bilateral move, not an one rule to govern them all, so dependence or independence is still tied to individual interests.

Dunno your device, but when I tried some MS-DOS game on the Vita, it was kinda miserable. I had to keep rotating the keyboard keys set to the controllers every 15 or so minutes, since it used a lot of keyboard inputs.

On a small tangent on fitting more commands than your controller has keys for, even controllers with inbuilt macros like that official Saturn-styled USB controller from a few years back can be annoying to use, since you have to memorize the macros commands, hope they don’t conflict with anything, and be as fast as the game expects.

Dunno since when it’d been going to shit, but I tried Duolinguo during the pandemic and it was bad already then. It is a means to passive-aggressively pressuring you into paying to not get timeouts for mistakes first, and a learning app second. And on the learning part, no grammar at least to the point I had the patience to try. And back then they had already removed the forum area from what I remember.

Regarding the games, since you sounded like you wanted something for phones, that’s why I mentioned the tools I did. Joiplay, Maldives Player and Termux are all on Android, iirc only Maldives not being shared as an APK.

Was already aware for a while of reactions being public for anyone with enough expertise to see.

Maybe the Learn Japanese to Survive trilogy of games? Iirc all 3 are powered by RPG Maker MV, meaning they can run on Joiplay, Maldives Player, a Python server through Termux or the sort, etc. First is for memorizing hiragana, second for katakana, and third for kanji.

Also if using Yomiwa, maybe it’s a good idea to make an install on an Android VM or Waydroid, and back that up for offline use. The additional files (dictionaries for other languages, example sentences and names), I have yet to find a way to move between systems offline, and they have a tendency of getting deleted if left unmarked after download for too long.

Could be useful for kanji though, specially when context changes the pronunciation.

To @[email protected], closest I can think of is Yomiwa. Technically from Google Play and has a premium version as MTX (meaning that can’t be backed up), but the app without the upgrade works on degoogled phones without any forms of GAPPs, and it has a Text Analyser option in the 3-bars menu which gives you the reading form of each element and their individual meanings if tapped (though no whole text translations).

Flashpoint isn’t for commercial projects though. Itchio on the other hand, you can monetize if you wish.
