There was. Last update 2019.

Is MS Teams the only viable alternative ?

👍 Interesting idea.

I’d welcome polls implementation on Lemmy but maybe this is difficult with federation ? I wouldn’t mind instance only polls.

Mastodon is about micro-blogging, with text, images and videos. PixelFed is only about images which can have a short or longer description. There’s Loops, a work in progress, which will enable short videos for PixelFed. If you would follow others on PixelFed from your PixelFed account you’d only see images.

Guess only North-Americans will worry about PixelFeds names :-)

OP was banned. Time to move on.

but last time I typed « PlayStation » and there was almost no result…maybe it’s just the lack of content though…

Thanks for the heads up ;-)

A pinned post at the top for everyone to see ?

Thanks for the update and the hard work. You all rock!

Thank you all.

😄 No worries. “Help is on its way”. I am sure that Microsoft will release the source code of Vim 0.1 optimized for Windows very soon! /s /j

Dear OP, this whole conversation makes me think of the bullying towards open source developers, which can be seen on and off since years. Let me also share what I have seen on Mastodon : Unlike on Lemmy, Mastodon has had support for ALT text descriptions for uploaded images for some time. Several people have been complaining when people do not add such ALT text, and even bots were made, that you could choose to follow, for people to have themselves reminded that they forgot to add ALT to an image. What I have seen several times is that people were helpful by responding and giving an ALT suggestion to the OP. That would be complaining and helping in one. Here in this post conversation several people have asked OP for descriptions and then some tension came up. None of the people complaining took some time to add a description themselves and appear to want to make the OP do extra work.And I understand that the OP is not obliged to do that extra work. Regardless of all this I think that a nice solution here would be if OP or someone else creates a new Lemmy community with a name like e.g. selfhosted_software_releases (For open source software releases there is a Lemmy community like that. Can’t be bothered to search for the name now) which is only for software releases for self hosting. Then this and other selfhosted Lemmy community can have the announcement of that new selfhosted_software_releases Lemmy community as a pinned post or in the sidebar. The advantages of that :

• OP and others will not need to add descriptions
• Interested people can quickly see when there’s been new releases
• Others can have a peek at software names they never heard of before and dive into the details
• Selfhosted communities will go back to peace mode ;-)

Yes, lemmy.world is the exception of the top ones.

PlayStation

Hmm, I’ve tried, 251 results found: 244 videos

Gnome is great, and I commend the devs for having the bollocks to come out and say “No, we don’t think Microsoft perfected OS UX in the early 90s”, and do something different that works well, despite knowing the amount of hatred and even death threats they’d get for the change.

Good to read your take on that bit of history, thanks. On one computer where I have GNOME, it is really nice and comfortable for what I use it for.

I know this is the “wrong answer” but I have always used Twitter to keep tabs on local government agencies, newspapers, reporters, restaurants, bars, events, concerts, sports teams, etc. Not to mention all the accounts that pertain to my hobby’s and interests.

Yes, it’s a problem. Even several open source projects use Tw(X)tter as their main outlet. A few years ago one project even used it to share an important security update! They must have posted it in their Discourse forum as well but I don’t visit that often. I stumbled upon the important post by coincidence with Nitter (Nitter is declared dead since a few months). Since then, lesson learned, I use some notification.

Really, the right answer here for my needs is that all these groups need to join the fediverse. I just don’t see that happening.

Agreed. Some people stay there because “everyone is there”, or their favorite VIPs are there, or people stay there because they think they should fight the bad things that happened to it from within :/ Sad.

Or maybe I should say I wish the “existing platform” of my city government would start their own instance.

That would be cool.Governments, at least in the country where I live in, need to make an effort to be transparent and reach out to their citizens without creating insurmountable barriers.Start an on-line petition and getting people to sign it, and share with the local government ?

it’s also difficult to find content on peertube.

PeerTube has a search engine : https://sepiasearch.org Does that not work well ?
