There are several apps/websites to learn touch typing from the start, you go from using 2 fingers in their proper places up to the whole hand with exercises that go up in difficulty over time, just do sessions of a few minutes each day and thats it.

my personal recommendation would be https://www.typingclub.com/

• Not everyone that uses Linux is against proprietary software or only uses FOSS.
• There are people that just heard of Linux, are just trying it out, or have an issue, and already use Reddit, or is what the search engine points them to go for help, or to ask questions.
• Reddit has a lot more reach for the common people than any other platform at the moment, there are still people that prefer to ask on Reddit, than go to a specific forum or another platform to ask (If I remember right, it still happens with some apps like Jellyfin that moved out of Reddit, but people still ask there)

These are just a few of the reasons that come to my mind.

I use my old laptop as a server, and so far no issues with leaving it on 24/7

For me personally, when you reach a level where you can think, and communicate in the non-native language (without doing mental translations back and forth) with enough ease and speed, no mater the topic at hand (meaning that even if you don’t know a technical or specific word you can make yourself understood), and even if you make grammatical mistakes or have an accent, the point of the conversation is not lost between participants, then you can consider yourself fluent enough on said language.

My native tongue is Spanish (could you tell if I didn’t mention it?), but I have consumed so much content throughout (and yes I did check how to spell throughout) my life only in English and practiced enough doing conversations both writing and speaking (even with an accent) on the internet that I can communicate with ease and be understood.

I have visited the United States a handful of times for around a month for vacations with family, so I can say that I had to communicate with native people outside the internet now, but I haven’t had any formal education except a few very basic English courses in high school.

I have dual boot Manjaro/Windows, but honestly I haven’t used the windows partition in two years except for the very occasional moment I need to check if a document format is alright to send to someone, or anyone else not familiar with Linux needs to do something.

It seems to be a 3-day thing from the information on the modlog, but I would first try to talk to the moderators before trying to post on the same community again, maybe clarifying that you are the original author, and you plan to maintain/update them, or that maybe the title should not include [old guide] or something like that, and that the purpose of these post is to share information, get feedback and generate discussion on these games, as you do play them.

but then that would overlap once the individual games have their own communities

You can always cross-post or tell people where to find the guides later.

If you search the modlog of lemmy.world with your name, you can see what the mod of /c/games said, what I can see is that it was taken as spam of old guides and/or not original content on that community, and they allow only a certain type of posts on that specific community.

There is no general modmail, so any mod can respond on Lemmy (at least yet), but you could DM the mods of the community individually to talk to them and see what is acceptable or not.

Remember that as it was the case on Reddit, there is the site rules and the community rules, sometimes some communities don’t allow certain things, or maybe they can think content can be spam or not original content.

Here you have multiple /c/games (or different names) communities on different instances, so if one doesn’t allow some types of post, another existing one can, or a new one can be created, or even you can create another /c/games.

It is true that here there are a lot of specific game communities that don’t exist yet but there is always the chance someone or yourself can create a community to fill what is missing (for example a /c/gameguides could be a new community for that type of content and be a hub for guides, specially for those games that doesn’t have a community yet).

Another thing, remember that the fact that you migrated from Reddit doesn’t mean that people will follow if you link to Lemmy even if you clarify that there is an updated version here, and content could be deleted from either Reddit or Lemmy side at any time, so even if it is as an alternative/backup I would consider having those guides on a third place (like docs that you mentioned, and link them somewhere on your posts).

I know it is not the main topic of discussion but, there is a discussion on Github about multi communities for lemmy, if you have a GitHub account please upvote it, or you could add a bounty to it.

I never cared about reputation/karma (I have around 400 points on 11 years of activity on Reddit), I always ignored user scores, and focused on post and comment scores.

The thing that was annoying was when you couldn’t participate on something because you didn’t have enough points.
