Interesting context. Thanks for sharing:

$19 billion seems high.

It does look like the admins will have to address this judging by the GitHub issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3075

This has happened to a bunch of the communities I created on Lemmyworld. I’ve been trying to ask for help - have created some threads about it and tried DMing the admins - but have never gotten a reply. Not sure what recourse I have, but I get a lot of DMs from users telling me it’s broken.

Need help with odd community naming behaviour - users having trouble joining my communities in c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world
[–] sparky@lemmy.pt 2 points 2 years ago

Check out /c/macgaming for example - I bet https://lemmy.world/c/macgaming doesn’t work but https://lemmy.world/c/macgaming@lemmy.world does, right?

Need help with odd community naming behaviour - users having trouble joining my communities (lemmy.pt)
 

I’m new to Lemmy and am pretty confused by a problem I seem to be having; I created a bunch of communities here on lemmy.world, but I’m having a weird issue with the naming of them, and I wonder if you all might be able to help. I tried messaging the admins of Lemmyworld but haven’t gotten a reply.

The communities I created look like completely normal remote communities to me from across the fediverse here from lemmy.pt, but I see that from inside lemmy.world, they have names that include lemmy.world.

For example, this board /c/wine - from my end it looks normal (https://lemmy.pt/c/wine@lemmy.world) but from inside lemmy.world it’s not got a /c/wine URL, instead it’s https://lemmy.world/c/wine@lemmy.world - which apparently breaks /c/wine links from inside lemmy.world.

I created like 10 other communities that are exhibiting the same problem.

It… seems like posts still get back and forth okay, but I’m at a loss to explain how this happened (I didn’t name the communities foo@lemmy.world when I created them), and I’m unsure how big of a problem it is. I don’t seem to be able to rename the URL component nor can I now create communities with the same name without the @lemmy.world part. My ability to do anything with the mod tools seems nonexistent.

It seems to be causing issues for some users however as I keep getting DMs about it.

If you have any suggestions on how to proceed, I’m all ears. Thanks!

I can’t say I’m shocked, but I am disappointed. But at the same time - Lemmy/Kbin is the answer. This is the way.

Reddit is deaddit. Long live the glorious Lemmy-Kbin Continuum.

This is an incredibly selfish, dipshit move. They’re trying to prioritise the growth of their own instance at the expense of Lemmy and the Fediverse as a whole, at a time when we should all be banded together to accept the massive influx of departing Redditors.

Apple M2 Ultra (24 core) outperforms $3,299 AMD Threadripper 5979WX (32 core) (lemmy.pt)

This means that the $3,999 Mac Studio configuration with this chip outperforms the $3,299 super high end CPU offered by AMD - and we’re comparing a whole computer to just a processor without motherboard, memory or graphics card here. A very compelling desktop offering for pro users!

Whisky 🥃 | A new app wrapping Apple's recently-announced Gaming Porting Kit to run your Windows games on Apple Silicon Macs. (lemmy.pt)
 

You may have seen the WWDC news about Apple's new Game Porting Kit , which among other things, can run Windows/DirectX 12 games, ostensibly to let developers test drive their games to encourage them to port to macOS.

Fortunately for us, said tool is actually built on WINE/Crossover, Apple forked it and built a bunch of patches to map DirectX onto Metal.

Introducing Whisky, an open-source app that wraps the Game Porting Kit much like Crossover wraps WINE, allowing you to run many Windows games that previously didn't work with such a setup.

You need to be running the macOS Sonoma beta to actually use this. Here's how to do that.
