The problem with “org” part. We’ll never have org.gnome and com.gnome packages. Some apps have io.github.foo.bar. This entire thing is also case sensitive, so I have to guess is org.gnome.epiphany right name or org.gnome.Epiphany.
Even worse, Thunderbird doesn’t save data in ~/.mozilla/thunderbird, but in ~/.thunderbird.
Most of subreddit admins and mods are not interested in migrating to somewhere else. A few months after API changes Reddit is still usable and active. Even third party apps are functioning if you apply a patch with your developer token. Also mods don’t want to lose their power.
If you really want to bring more official communities here, you should ask admins who are already interested in open-source or Fediverse. For example, I found that people behind Fossify (a Simple Mobile Tools fork) had created a subreddit. Ask them about Lemmy. It’s FOSS-friendly, there are a lot of fans here, so the chances that they’ll make and promote a Lemmy community are much higher.
Normies/tech illiterate people are lazy to uninstall software, they have no reason for that. Just look at their taskbar or desktop icons: a lot of useless crap. It was probably preinstalled, or they installed it for one reason, then just forgot about it.
There is a button “Explore communities” in the search tab. It opens a menu with list of communities on your instance. But seems like this button is buggy and disappearing sometimes. Switching to guest account and back returns it.
Codeberg and other alternatives are used by 2 people, if not more. If a repo is hosted on such unpopular service, potential contributors must register a new account. This is very frustrating if you want to report just one issue or make one pull request. Self-hosted repos are even worse.
This problem can be solved by implementing federation. GitLab, Gitea and Forgejo already working on it, but really slow.
Some people are really obsessed with fake internet points, turning them into a competition. They’re farming it with the most obnoxious methods that degrade the overall quality of the content.
You’ve already defederated lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works, so I don’t care
As far as I know, some clients have ability to add instances and you can view its local feeds without logging in

Yes, you can enable it in your the LibreWolf specific UI or in your overrides. There aren’t significant downsides as Firefox Sync encrypts your data locally before transmitting it to the server. Additionally, you can self-host the old version of the server if you really don’t want to use Mozilla’s, and there’s work being done to have the new version equally easy to self-host. Find out more about the technical details of Sync’s implementation here and here.
When using Sync across multiple installations you might want to disable settings synchronization to avoid unintentional changes.
For flatpak steam, you need to run this:
flatpak override --user --filesystem=/run/user/1000/pipewire-0 com.valvesoftware.Steam
Then -sdlaudiodriver pipewire
launch option will work.
This may be more intuitive for newcomers. Matrix has something similar (matrix.to). It tells you that you want to open a chat and provides a list of apps. You can get inspiration from here.
They announced a Steam version few years ago, but there are no news on this since then.
