It’s probably highly dependent on what you want to do with your life. Are you trying to become an archeologist professor? Work in IT? Run a pub?

Ah I just assumed because they all look the same, but maybe you’re right!

Yeah I guess so, but every site seems to be a Shop App now so it’s hardly more than one company anyway 😅

Who is behind it and how do you know they are trustworthy? I wasn’t able to find much info but it seems it’s just some company (not a non profit / charity or anything). I know they have paid plans but it seems they also have an incentive or at least an ability to sell your purchase data?

Yip. It might not have been clear but my point was that if you have a SearXNG instance set up and running well, then Kagi may well not be worth the cost since you’ve already got most of its strengths.

If you’re there with Searx then it’s pretty similar to how Kagi works. Kagi sends requests to various search providers and has some of its own index then shows results based on the various sources.

I found Searx/Searxng slow, 5-6 seconds per query (to get a response from each source), though it seems others have it working faster. Might have been some IP or rate limiting issue.

Kagi has easy ways to raise/lower rankings and users can report AI slop pages to have them removed, but all in all Searx gives pretty good results.

There’s really no poll feature. Piefed has polls but Lemmy doesn’t.

You could make a poll by asking a question then reading people’s answers, or by linking a poll website.

It’s absolutely a thing when running Windows games on Linux. Though sometimes you can skip it with a launch option, thank god for protondb.

Haha don’t worry, it can be confusing! There are a lot of different mobile apps too (see https://lemmyapps.com/ and filter by your phone type) but it sounds like you’re trying to add a second account. You can only log in to your account on the instance you signed up to it with, then you search for the communities you want to follow (which can be on other instances).

Some apps let you log in to multiple accounts at once, in which case you could sign up for a new account at fedinsfw then log in to that account in your app, then you’d have two accounts you can switch between.

Lemmy doesn’t have a way to add a server to my knowledge, and subscribing to a community is done by clicking a button on the community page on the default lemmy website. It looks like Lemmy.today uses a themed version of the default website so I guess you’re using a mobile app?

So your account is on lemmy.today. What are you trying to do when you say you can’t add the server fedinsfw?

You should probably be using your lemmy.today account to subscribe to specific communities on fedinsfw.

It kind of sounds like you might be trying to log in to fedinsfw with your lemmy.today account? It doesn’t work like that, you should log in to lemmy.today and then subscribe to fedinsfw communities.

It’s also pretty important what you’re using to access Lemmy. There are a dozen or more actively developed apps and at least 4 or 5 different website interfaces. It’s confusing but important to know exactly what steps you took (which website you went to, which app you opened, which buttons you clicked) to get to where you got stuck due to all the options.

People are being a bit rough with all the downvotes, your partner might not just yell out directions like google maps when you’re going the wrong way, but you can (and should) ask, in which case they are very likely to answer.

Whatever you do, don’t send any money back if they say they sent too much.

I’m using ntfy for notifications. I have some other notifications go through it too so it’s not only used for that.

I guess I just feel like if I need to know something (something is offline etc) then I need a notification, I don’t want to have to be checking a dashboard. I use Uptime Kuma for this.

I see your point with Jellyfin, but I also have the clicks to find active streams as muscle memory and it’s not needed that often so I don’t think I’d go setting up a dashboard just for that.

Not sure what the general thought is around here, but I see no issue with taking a single day off school for a rare opportunity to spend quality time with your family watching your national team in a world cup match, if they generally have high attendance.

I used to go for a dashboard like this, but one day I realised none of the stats are actually helpful for anything and stopped using it.

Oh for sure Kodi would be easier, I was just clarifying that there are reasons to pick Jellyfin over Kodi even if it’s only ever internal to your network.

Luanti is a voxel game engine, but servers can run different games and mods, picking from an extensive selection.

Despite this, the BFG 9000 does not appear to be available in a mod at all!

It reminds me of the question on lemmy a while back about who puts their leftovers in the fridge and who just leaves them on the bench/counter.
