It's too bad they didn't mention Bottles. That's a great tool for using Windows apps in Linux, including games.

Especially games outside of Steam or other platforms. Like if you have the CD or the independent installer files.

YT links without post body? Not clicking on that. This is not helpful for discussion, just kinda spam.

Spamming the same thing on semi related communities is a great way to get downvoted to hell.

I only see it posted on 3 communities, isn't that how the Lemmy cross posting feature is supposed to work? What if someone is unaware of 1 or 2 of these communities, or their instance is defederated from 1 of them?

Lemmy has post deduplication. Are you using an app that doesn't support this? I haven't seen crossposts spamming my feed before, usually it's a pretty good feature, something that Reddit doesn't have.

In fact, Lemmy's post deduplication is a little TOO aggressive https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2104

I stand corrected! This makes sense. Thank you for taking the time to explain it.

But this is literally how federation works. Not everybody subscribes every single Linux community.

Not everybody subscribes every single Linux community

Well then those people must be made to understand our peaceful ways... by force!

You got my upvote, brother.
