I have been investigating if there is a community dedicated to Photon (a great Lemmy front-end) that doesn't seem to have an exclusive option to search for communities, does anyone know if there is an exclusive community for Photon (or Lemmy front-ends in general)?

Rooting a Pixel 6 with GrapheneOS, it is possible?

So I really want GrapheneOS but I also want to have my phone rooted to have some features (like Aurora/Droid-ify background updates) but I don't know if this is incompatible and searching it on Google showed some old posts and forum discussions. I know and I understand that rooting my phone basically breaks the logic of using GrapheneOS, but I still want to do it, is it possible? I mean "possible" because from what I understand, when you flash a custom rom you need to format your whole phone, but the same process when rooting your phone, so it's possible?

Filen automatic background upload

I really want to try Filen as my main cloud provider but my main brake point is that the app doesn't automatically upload my images in the background. I'm not sure if this is because I'm on the free plan or because of my device, has anyone had better luck with the automatic image upload in the background?

Thoughts about Posteo?

I've thinking about ditching my Protonmail email address with Posteo since I need IMAP support (because I hate using the Protonmail app) and honestly paying for Proton Mail Plus didn't worth the money because they are pushing me to buy the Protonmail Unlimited but I don't need all those capabilities nor would I use them and the best alternative I've found is Posteo and honestly I like it, I even got CalDAV support which I didn't have in Protonmail, but personally I don't know anybody who use Posteo, so I post this here.

Do you think Proton Unlimited worth the price?

I've thinking about purchasing Proton Mail Plus only and just only to have IMAP support, but I've looked all the features that the Proton Unlimited Plan have, and honestly I believe it's worth, but I hate having all the eggs in the same basket. The features I believe worth the most are the 500GB storage, IMAP support, all the VPN servers with P2P and unlimited SimpleLogin aliases, but when I ask if it is worth the price I mean, the majority of those features I can have them having individually with others services and even at lower price.

It is possible to interact with a Bluesky user or post on Lemmy?

I have been looking for some of this on the internet but I can't find any information about it.

I want to upload some videos to Peertube to share here in Lemmy, but I'm not sure how to find an instance where I can upload them. I don't want to be 'picky' since I know I'm using another person's hardware that costs money to maintain, but the majority of Peertube instances I had found the users can't upload videos at all, or have a ridiculous minimum of like 25 MBs per file... And I had found other instances where the user can upload anything he wants, but how do I know that instance will prevail? I mean I had accounts in multiple Peertube instances that after some time are unreachable, it literally gives you an nginx or 'page not found' error... I know I can host it myself and that's the best option, but I don't have the knowledge or hardware to do it.

I just saw in the [admin Mastodon account](https://packmates.org/@Wander/112175178697625004) that you need to clear your cookies, and that's it, which actually worked for me. I'm not sure why.

I have been an active user of different Lemmy.ml communities for a long time but for personal reasons I want to migrate from Dbzer0 to Yiffit, unfortunately to my surprise Lemmy.ml stopped federating with Yiffit a few months ago and honestly it saddens me because there are communities like c/linux, c/privacy, c/firefox, c/fdroid that are extremely useful and I love to participate in them. Is there any chance that Yiffit will be federated again? And why was it defederated from Lemmy.ml? The admin of Yiffit is an incredibly nice person and I'm sure he will want to come to collaborate to be able to federate again with Lemmy.ml. As a user I find it a little unfair not to be able to participate in these communities from this instance but I understand and respect that each instance has its own policies and decisions.

Sometimes a good way to 'learn Linux' is to use a WM

I have been using Linux for about 5 years and although I don't consider that I know much, I know enough to fix my own problems and that's usually enough for me. Since Plasma 6 was announced I wanted to test something other than XFCE, Gnome or Plasma (or any DE) so I give it a try with ArcoLinuxD i3wm and is increible the amount of things I learn the 'hard way' because there was no GUI to do the things I want to do, or maybe I was too lazy to do it with the terminal since there is always the 'easy way'. Things that might be very easy for a lot of people, but I never take the time to learn, like mounting drives, running programs from startup, setting environment variables, creating desktop entries, and a lot of other things I didn't even remember. I even learned to use things that used to give me a headache just looking at it, like Vim, xdg, the Archwiki (that is super useful) and the manpages. It's ironic because something that started as an experiment is now my daily drive, and now that Plasma 6 has been released, I don't want to leave i3 behind.

Is the instance still accepting new users? (Yep, still does!)

I don't mean to be annoying, but it's been some time since I submitted my registration request, and I still haven't received an update on it, so I don't know if it will ever be accepted.

I feel like I am in an endless loop

Every time I open e621 I spend between 30 minutes to 2 hours every day (or sometimes more than once a day) and it's because every time I open it there are ALOT of new posts and artists that I didn't even know existed and I look at all their posts and repeat. I'm not asking for help and I can control this, but it's like what the Youtube algorithm is for some people who spend a lot of time just scrolling without watching any videos. Honestly, it's impressive the quality that's in e621. Does this happen to you?

How to use Alt+Tab Number to go beyond tab 9

When you use Alt+Number you automatically switch to the tab that is assigned that number, but when you have more than 9 tabs Alt+9 just switches to the last tab instead of opening tab number 9, and you can't go beyond tab number 9 either, is there any way to go to tabs beyond 9 with Alt+Number?

Team Fortress 2 Xirup • 8mo ago • 91%

New on Tf2... I have almost 10 hours of gameplay and still not a single random drop.

Maybe I'm forgetting something, but according to something I read, per week a user can get up to 10 random drops but I've been playing for almost 10 hours and I haven't got even one, why?

Userscript recommendations?

I recently started using Violentmonkey and there are hundreds of absolutely great scripts like some that help you go straight to the download link instead of shorteners (very common on pirate sites), and there are also some scripts for downloading music from Spotify (I guess using Youtube), but I hardly know any more, anyone know of some scripts for general use or useful for pirating?

How do you keep up with your favorite artists' posts? (e621)

Personally I'm sure that if e621 had some kind of 'following' functionality I would probably follow hundreds of artists but as far as I know e621 doesn't provide this kind of functionality, so how I usually keep up with my favorite artists' posts it's just manually searching by their name but just as I said, I easily know more than a hundred artists and usually going one by one is pretty tiring, besides, how am I supposed to know the name of each artist? I barely know by heart the name of the ones I usually look for, but there are many others that I just favorite a post I like and forget about them, because I forget their name and I have many favorites...

How to change Firefox file dialog in i3wm? [Solved]

I wish to change the default Nautilus file dialog that Firefox uses, to Dolphin (my main file manager) but I cannot find any solution. Every single time I download an image, Nautilus is opened instead of Dolphin. I tried adding GTK_USE_PORTAL=1 to my env variables, and It didn't work, then I tried changing mimetype and also did not work, I also tried modifying the xdg-portal (sorry if I'm wrong) to use xdg-desktop-portal-kde instead, but I cannot accomplish this since I didn't understand at all the Arch wiki and IIRC some files aren't exactly where the Arch wiki was pointing them. As a last attempt, I open about:config in Firefox and search for widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal and set it to True, and still I keep having that old Nautilus as my file picker in Firefox, and this last thing usually worked well for me in Plasma. Edit: I just restarted my pc and now randomly seems that Dolphin it's the file dialog for Firefox, I don't have a single clue how this happen.

Do you think that people who don't use Linux think that people that use it are hackers?

I've been using Linux for the past 5 years, and recently I change from DE to WM (i3) which change it my whole workflow. Now I use a lot more the command line to do even simple things. Recently I note that some relatives called me 'hacker' and I find that kinda funny, may be because I'm so accustomed to the terminal and to i3 that I don't notice that "it looks like a hacker thing".

Eternity Xirup • 9mo ago • 100%

Any news about multicommunities?

I've been using the stable release and I'm fine with it, but a feature that I really miss is the multicommunities (or multireddits, how it's called in Infinity). Does anybody know if the 'multicommunity' feature it's already in Eternity Nightly or it's still WOP? Edit: Never mind, I installed Eternity Nightly and the PR for the multicommunities feature is already merged, it works as intended although if you try to add a community that you don't follow the app just crash, but apart from that, it works!

I been tempted to buy Battlebit and I know it's a great game, but I just wanted to know which is the state of the game to this moment. It still receive updates? Can I find matches easily? How it's the development? And, by the way, how is this game compared to Battlefield 2042? I love Battlefield 2042 despite its problem, but something that I simply cannot fight against it's the fact that the game does not run on Linux because of their anticheat...
