I am one of the admins of Beehaw and I'm trying to get some feedback on our potential move.

Let's start out with a little Beehaw history before judgements are passed, please.

A handful of us were beta testing Tildes when we decided to have discussions on a Discord server.

We decided that our 'Northern Star' or guiding principle would culminate as 'Be Nice' with purposefully vague/flexible interpretations. Our overall goal is to provide a safe space to disenfranchised persons.

We talked for a little over a year and some of our members became impatient. Then someone stepped in to suggest a couple of platforms that we could consider getting started with.

One of those platforms was Lemmy. None of us knew, at that time, anything about ActivityPub.

During the Reddit exodus (surrounding the API outcry and blackout), our instance exploded. We were, initially, crippled by the mass amounts of users seeking refug

I'm the sysadmin for beehaw.org and our user-base has almost tripled in 24 hours. Our site has been crashing so much over this time period.

We do have some volunteers that are trying to figure out a reasonable solution for when this happens again four weeks from now.

Do you have any recommendations?

Are there reliable statistics that show this?

I'm trying to get an idea rolling for a mobile app that could handle the most used platforms on the Fediverse.

For example, let's assume that Mastodon, Lemmy and Peertube turned out to be the most used platforms on the Fediverse. Would people be interested in a mobile app that could properly integrate all of these?

My understanding is that Mastodon, Pleroma and Lemmy can connect with each other using ActivityPub.

Are there other platforms that share this same interconnection?

My two sons will be getting a Windows gaming PC for their upcoming Christmas gift.

However, one of my sons has expressed their desire to use Unity.

I've been looking at this MSI Cubi for their gaming desires.

However, when I looked at the free/personal download specs for Unity, I noticed that Windows 11 is not supported.

Maybe I'm going about all of this the wrong way? I just want a Windows machine that would handle most of the popular games out there that would support the use of Unity.

Please, help us solve this problem.

I am brand new to mobile gaming lol.

I have done some searching around but I'm unable to find anything that suits my interests.

I prefer games that are MMORPG or RPG the most (recently uninstalled Diablo Immortal for many reasons). However, I am open to any and all suggestions.

It's my, general, understanding that most people connect to the Internet through mobile apps.

If this is the case, then why have apps such as Remmel, Lemmur and jerboa taken a back seat?

IMHO, it would be a mistake to market Lemmy without these mobile apps functioning properly.

I have forked the three aforementioned mobile apps here and will try to 'drum up' support from developers wherever I can find them.

Please, if you don't feel comfortable talking to me about this here, then send me a private message. Thank you.

We just launched our instance at https://beehaw.org not too long ago.

However, a good number of people have been asking questions like this for the past several days on our Discord server.

P.S. - I will have a big surprise (hopefully...if all goes well) for the Lemmy community in March.
