Gotta go for ProtonMail. Have been running it for a year and I kinda like how it’s doing.

An additional feature is SimpleLogin’s “Hide My E-mail” Aliases, which are “burner” e-mail addresses to use with pre-determined SimpleLogin domains (you can add your own domains as well to go around Proton’s custom domain limit). Those are included in the full suite and Family subscriptions. (10 a month when subscribing for a year)

There’s also a cheaper variant for 3.50 a month but it lacks the SimpleLogin feature. You can get SimpleLogin seperately for 30 a year, however.

Any thoughts on overhauling cross-posting, to allow more interaction with the source interaction?

As far as I’m aware: currently when you cross-post, only the recipient instance gets all interactions (comments, upvotes), instead of duplicating to or having the origin solely receive those.

The current implementation hampers the growth of smaller instances when reposting something to a bigger one. Discoverability is still there due to seeing from which instance the post originates from, but that’s arguably not enough.

I used to have this issue, but 0.0.8 is now out. Obtanium pulls in that release just fine!

Try Obtainium, helps if an app isn’t on F-Droid or Google Play Store.

Spotting Super Mario RPG in there, you might appreciate knowing some people actually recreated some songs with the original synths used by Yoko Shimomura herself.

I’m honestly a bigger fan of the classic DOOM I/II (199X) soundtracks. Despite being obvious parodies of existing rock/metal songs, they had a certain appeal. Especially when someone makes a very good cover.

I get why people like 2016’s DOOM’s more “metal” approach, but for me nothing beats an adrenaline-rush song when ripping and tearing those damned demons.

any game with a story

Minecraft, Terraria, Factorio, Satisfactory, Rimworld, Starbound…

Super Mario Galaxy (1+2). Orchestrated music should be a must for main Nintendo games at this point, outside of Zelda (and the Pokémon anime, although that one’s not strictly Nintendo or used in actual games, sadly).

Agreed! Although I got the Rad Edition through Humble Choice a while back. They’ve been killing it this year imo, making it somewhat worth every month.

In what ways is NBA2K a great sim? I only know it because of the Ultimate Team mode.

I noticed someone mentioning 299, so about 40 more than a Snackbox. Couldn’t find any official source for it, however.

Little shoutout to /c/gamedeals at CompuVerse. The instance owner got a deal bot running there, cross-posted the Humble post of mine from there.

Thanks for posting here! Welcome to the federated message boards! :)

Actually, your suggestion might indicate something important. The domain of the instance did change, with the old one giving 404’s to get it off the list. Although Cameron did check the configs and didn’t find anything wrong with them.

@Cameron@compuverse.uk Worth to cross-post to the admin channel, with the context of having switched over domains?

Thanks for responding either way. I asked the owner personally (off-platform) if he has noticed anything. And he says that the logs are just a gigantic mess with millions of lines. Only errors (as WARN messages) noticed by him, are like the following:

lemmy_1     |    0: lemmy_apub::activities::community::announce::receive
lemmy_1     |              at crates/apub/src/activities/community/announce.rs:149
lemmy_1     |    1: lemmy_server::root_span_builder::HTTP request
lemmy_1     |            with http.method=POST http.scheme="https" http.host=compuverse.uk http.target=/inbox otel.kind="server" request_id=<REDACTED> ttp.status_code=400 otel.status_code="OK"
lemmy_1     |              at src/root_span_builder.rs:16
lemmy_1     | LemmyError { message: Some("Cant receive page"), inner: Cant receive page, context: "SpanTrace" }```

The errors are very unclear, only saying it didn't receive the page while not mentioning where it came from etc, making it very hard to debug on our end.

I fully agree. While I do love the fact we’ve got a self-hostable federated reddit alternative that actually provides an API (kbin doesn’t provide an API sadly), it’s a damn shame this solution definitely has its problems at the moment. Though hopefully this’ll change soon in the future.

Update: After posting this (and commenting on someone else’s post/comment), some posts/comments seem to get shown in my profile view (when I am logged in - others see the profile view fully/as it should be), but now this support post isn’t visible on my profile when I am logged in.

I’ve definitely experienced some jank with Lemmy at the moment, but at least I’ve gotten used to Federation through Mastodon. I don’t think you need to sub to a community per say to have it pull in changes from posts you responded on or the like. But you do need to subscribe if you want to have some instance’s posts to the one you are currently on. (Though I could be sorely mistaken - I’m still figuring out Lemmy myself)

Sadly, that’s how it currently (seems to?) work(s). It will pull in new comments ever since the first interaction with the instance, however. (So comment 12, 13 etc. should get synced up with your own instance’s view of that post.) I agree it’s far from ideal, however. 😬

You can only reply to messages by using the instance you have joined. Copy the post’s or comment’s URL and search that in the instance of your account. Then it will start detecting it and allow you to respond to that instance’s content.
