I also may boost posts I make with alts, but I’m mainly here so that should be rare.

  • In my case, as I’m mainly on Mbin, when I get to host my own instances (life got in the way when I tried…), I’d probably make, besides the new Mbin instance:

    • either a PieFed or RSS Parrot instance for having RSS posts as fediverse posts
    • a Peertube instance for videos / audio (?) / shorts
    • maybe some Lemmy instance and a Mastodon one for tests
    • a NeoDB instance since it’s the most unique type of content not handled by the softwares above

  • Personally, I’d pick Mbin, Friendica or PieFed.

    I can observe two main types of social media style in the fediverse, microblogging-styled (e.g. Twitter-inspired), or group-styled (e.g. Reddit / BBS-inspired).

    The rest’s usually variations of these two, or are interoperable to varying degrees with these main types.

    And Mbin, Friendica and PieFed all explicitly try to integrate groups and microblogging, meaning they’d be the more overarching ones.

    And sure, one solution always means sacrificing another, so alts may still be needed.

    And on Pleroma’s case, it would seem it supports communities but only partially? I wonder if it’s like Mastodon. If so, your feed can become noisy.









  • If the game is only on Steam, install Linux on a VM, install Wine in it, run SteamCMD through Wine, download the build you want, and move to your host OS.

    SteamCMD is a minimalist/terminal-based version of Steam. The Windows version can be downloaded separately. However, it downloads needed libraries and I’m not sure how good Steam is at escaping Wine’s environment, so a VM adds an extra security layer. Also the command changes depending of whether it’s 32-bit or 64-bit, if it’s for Linux, MacOS or Windows, or even if it’s a previous, still public update, and it’s been some years since I used those and I don’t have the commands noted down, so can’t help with that at least right now.
