  • By default web app, do you mean the website? Going to a PC, opening firefox, and going to Lemmy.world? Or is there an app within a webpage that I don’t know about? Obviously because I’m here I’m new to Lemmy…and just so many things seem to opperate in a way that seems so backwards.

    I can see that this platform is very tech savy user centric, and I’d call myself tech capable, but not a tech wizard. I can’t figure out linux for the life of me. But I’m still the millenial everybodys boomer parents call to “fix” their pc. And by that I obviousy mean a reboot, and sometimes to exit a program and restart it.

    So, I’m in a place where I can sometimes understand what you guys are talking about, but other times (like above, whatever mozz is saying) where I’m just nodding like “Yes. Those certainly are words…some of them even make sense! Not a lot of them, but some.”

    Then on the other side of the isle, the mainstream users would never approach this site. Because of how oddly it behaves.

    For example. If I’m on Lemmy.World, and I somehow click some links, and end up on Lemmy.ml, I’m no longer logged in. At first I thought it was some glitch, or error, but no. That’s how that’s supposed to work. Then you’re supposed to use !community@instance.place in a search bar, which only brings up search results for things matching that .ml community.

    I should be able to go to Lemmy.World. And if I somehow find myself on Lemmy.ml, then I should still be logged in. I should be able to post. And if Lemmy.ml ever defederated from Lemmy.world, my posts on the Lemmy.ml server would cease to exist, but if you look at my profile directly, you should be able to still see them.

    If I signed up at Lemmy.world, and I want to move to Lemmy.ml, I should be able to go into my settings, and say “transfer account”, and it would transfer all of my account, and it’s history, over to Lemmy.ml

    UI’s shouldn’t be a different instance. If my account is at Lemmy.world, and I want to use Old.Lemmy.World…that shouldn’t mean that now I need an account at Old.Lemmy.World. It should just be a layout option from ANY instance.

    Yes, I went on a bit of a rant, and yes, you’re not the one who will know how to fix all these things, or even in charge of any of it, but man this stuff has been frustrating me for 3 weeks since I got here.

    The few times I played rocket league, I played casual, and got my ass handed to me.

    Maybe theres a casual mode for casual players. I’m looking forward to losing to a 3 year old. Apperently those 10 year olds are way outta my skill range!

    Oooooh, maybe we can find a player who’s just learning their colors! Maybe thats more my speed.

    Why are you people soooooooooo worried about viruses? I think the last virus I got was on WindowsXP.

    Pretty sure viruses don’t exist. I’m using a windows 7 pc for 10 years, and the only virus protection is whatever they put on windows 7 by default, with no updates ever, and I STILL don’t get viruses. I’m at a point where it seems like virus makers just gave up.
