There was a post I saved from somewhere that went through setting up emu deck and some hi def textures that was super helpful. I’ll try to post the link if I can find it. (It’s on my todo list!)

So I'm part of the reddit influx. However, I've occasionally checked lemmy out a few times over the last few years looking for reddit clones. Lemmy had no real users or content (as compared to the bigger online communities, or even usenet of old). From my brief visits, there wasn't much culture that had been built up yet, and it was mainly open source enthusiasts discussing federation. I think beehaw had been working on a decent community for a while, but they've de-federated with some of the fast growing instances. It would be good to post there and find out their perspective.

I think your question is a really good one though, and I'd love to hear answers, but am also getting a feeling that lemmy is a new space that is just now really taking off into its own with this new growth.

The quality here is pretty good and reminds me of early reddit quite a bit. Really enjoying lemmy so far!

I never saw one in the wild. I remember it had a ton of arcade games it could run. It was super SUPER expensive though, right?

For some reason this and the Atari jaguar are linked in my brain. They must have come out around the same time or something.

I’m hoping my data request comes in soon!

I’m torn on deleting my account. I have some nice helpful (long) posts on there and would rather someone find them useful some day than just burn it all down.

What irks me about all the protest coverage is the focus on just the API cost, when to menthe crux is the complete ignorance of the admins that the communities themselves were the value of Reddit. We were the ones that put in content that made Reddit be what it is over 15 years.

I’m leaning to just changing my password to gibberish and logging out one last time once I get my GPDR request finished.

This is starting to feel like an iteration of BBS— edit: I say bbs, but really I mean Usenet. I guess this is like bbs with better threading and organization, and you login to your local mirror to see what’s new. I like it, just need to get my head around it.
