You can also use Steam itself to run external launchers via proton! Might not be the best way, but it was super easy for a noob like me to figure out.

Let’s me play ffxiv (non steam) and bnet games quite easily!

Teams actively makes my job harder. The one thing it’s supposed to do for me is help me communicate with my team.

the whole “conversations” instead of threads sucks. The fact that it brings a convo to the bottom if someone reply’s to it causes people to constantly miss messages in other convos.

I have to actively wiggle my mouse and click on stuff to get it to update and show me new messages. And even that doesn’t always do it. So I can’t just leave my laptop open and monitor it, I have to actively go click around every 10 mins to see if there’s a message.

it fails to send me notifications for meetings, and sometimes sends them to me like a hr after the meeting happened.

sometimes I’ll see a message on my phone (I have teams there only because the notifications are more reliable) and then I’ll go to the computer to respond and it’s just gone. Never showed up. I KNOW THE MESSAGE IS THERE TEAMS YOU SENT IT TO MY PHONE WHY ISNT IT ON THE FUCKING PC

The list goes on.

It’s obviously not Reddit numbers, but been a lot of posts about how much lemmy/etc have grown in the last week, largely due to the Reddit fallout.

Clearly it’s not going to replace Reddit overnight, but it’s made large strides very suddenly, and can def close that gap over time. Especially for people like me who enjoyed Reddit, but were just browsers, not really power users

My exact feels. I had never heard of the fediverse or whatever, and still don’t even know if I spelled it right lol.

But I just picked the first server that had a good amount of people on it, off a recommended list, and it’s been fine.

To sign up I had to answer 3 super simple subjective questions. Took 2 mins. Had to wait to get approved, but in the meantime I could still browse so it really didn’t matter.

To me, the hard part was learning lemmy/kbin/beehaw etc existed.

I don’t play Splatoon, so I have no context. But objectively, Mint Chip is the correct answer here.

Im pretty close to this as well. I think if they did a 180, and like, showed an ACTUAL attempt to right the ship, I would consider going back via Apollo.

But that said, I’ve been using Lemmy this week, and out of curiosity I’ve been comparing it with my reddit feed at the end of the day, and yeah. I really haven’t missed out on anything important.

I mostly used Reddit as a way to waste time, or get info on the latest big things, like all the Trump stuff for example, and Lemmy is doing just fine getting me that kind of info.

Apollo since day one. When I searched for an app originally, I thought it WAS the official app lol. Now that they’re gone, I’m gone.
