I've used Sync for Reddit for years, but I'm struggling a bit with Lemmy. I'm trying not to go back to Reddit except for occasional information gathering. Are these 2 things currently present in Sync for Lemmy?: 1) Searching the only currently active community and 2) Creating a new community from within the app. Finally, can someone link me the manual so I don't ask stupid questions?

There is nothing natural about "natural scrolling".

Air conditioner... After moving to Europe I'm amazed by how people are so miserable and complaining every day for 1 to 2 months, then just repeat it over and over every year.

My primary desktop is Windows 11, but literally no other computer I personally own runs Windows. Part of it is games, part of it is proprietary software (music production, dj, etc). I could probably game on Linux full time, but until the commercial software situation is improved I will always have an additional Windows or Mac computer.

I can't stand the Gnome design. Material wins by default for me, but I do like it as well.

I actually enjoy cycling if I'm not doing it for exercising. More like joy riding. I find it relaxing the same way the post you're commenting on said. But running... Never. 🙃

I wish I felt the same.

For me it's just an unhealthy fascination. Tech is the one place where consumerism got it's dirty claws in me. We didn't have a computer in my household until I was 15 and it was a super slow and old PC my older brother bought for $500. This was back in 1999. I eventually became obsessed with finding the best value for money mobile devices and bought way too many phones, laptops and computers.

These people addicted to running tho... 👀

IDK how they do it. I hate running. I have had extended periods in my life where I exercised 6 times a week, but I never enjoyed it.

Jesus, did not see that coming. But good point.

LOL it's more interesting this way

That's the goal, but it may not work in practice. I often used Reddit as a place for curated information. So a lot of Google searches like "wireguard server reddit" to get good no nonsense information. I think the lack of population and time could make it hard for Lemmy.ml to immediately replace Reddit for me, but I hope it will be successful. I'm ML ideology by nature so the idea of the Fediverse really appeals to me.
