  • Seems like I’m the outlier here that prefers Gnome over KDE. Gnome feels more polished than KDE for me. Granted KDE comes with more features out of the box, but I don’t find anything lacking in Gnome for me.

    Tried KDE long time ago to compare it to Gnome 3, went back to Gnome. Tried KDE again a few months ago to compare to Gnome 42, came back to Gnome again.

    I also can’t stand having all my programs’ name starting with K.


  • The thing that is the most annoying about the same username on different servers is that most of the time only the username part is shown (for example on feeds and comments). So a troll could make accounts with the same username on a different instance and discredit the original comment. For example, you are kadu@lemmy.world, I could create kadu@lemmy.ml and say stuff here, and both of us would just show up as “kadu” and to others it might seem that we are the same account without going into our profile to see our full “address”.




  • I think this is currently one of the biggest problem of Lemmy on the UX department. Non technical users from Reddit will only expect one “subreddit” for a theme, but if they search on Lemmy, they’ll find more than one community with the same topic, and it’ll confuse them and make them less likely to come back.

    But that’s the way how Fediverse work, so I don’t think combining two communities should be done from the Fediverse side, but rather each Lemmy instance can curate a “playlist” or “multireddit” that has some of the biggest communities from the users’ server and other federated servers about the same topic, and users can subscribe to the “playlist” rather than individual community.
