Peertube already supports livestreams. And there is also Owncast, which is a bit easier to selfhost and also federates via ActivityPub.

It is already supported in Peertube and works fine.

You can apparently play it fine on Linux these days: https://www.protondb.com/app/552500

(Obviously there is no kernel level anti-cheat there).

There is a lot of backend work happening for Lemmy 1.0, but due to tech-debt and some NIH issues, it does indeed develop at a slower pace right now.

The sideload APK think might have been speculation, or do you have a video with a Valve employee saying so? It could certainly work with Waydroid and some tinkering, but probably not for Android VR games that AFAIK depend on some proprietary Meta stuff most of the time.

Lemmy has the Lemmy devs 😅

It looks fine as in the default Piefed theme, yes. But they used to have a very nice custom theme.

Their theme broke with the update?

Probably? I have not tried it myself to be honest.

I am not sure how intercompatible the modules are. It might be that you have to chose between them.

It is a modular system that includes a module for microblogging. But it can also be turned into something else.

It also further links to another issue about individually blocking users and communities. Apparently that is quite inefficient in the current version, so maybe that adds to your problem?

What you can try is to clear your browser cache for the main domain. In the past there was a bug in Lemmy that caused Firefox based browsers to accumulate many gigabytes of cache data and that slowed down the loading of the page significantly. In the latest version there are some fixes for this and it shouldn’t effect app usage, but I suspect this problem still persists to some extend.

Aside from general issues others have mentioned, our instance (slrpnk.net) is seeing some especially high database load in the last couple of days and I also noticed the subscribed page to be even slower than usual. I tried to figure out what it causing it, but so far there is no clear smoking gun, but I suspect some AI scrapers found a way to target the Lemmy API directly so our current scraper protections for the webinterface are inadequate.

Indeed, Postgres 18 introduced some breaking changes and AFAIK Lemmy isn’t compatible with them yet. This will probably be fixed in the next release.

Afaik it is a specific implementation issue in Lemmy that causes this. Instances in Australia had problems catching up with lemmy.world because of that.

That’s afaik part of the upcoming 1.0 release only.

I think it was by just adding [something] to the title, but I guess with Piefed (and afaik soon also Lemmy) having proper support for that, it will change soon.

Too real for me 😥

Perfectly fine, I was there not too long ago. Belgium has an alarmingly high suicide rate though. That is probably something that needs to be looked at and is a way more pressing topic than a largely imagined increase in downtown crime rate.

Why less appealing? There is no increase in crime or anything else that makes that less appealing (other than that a lot of small shops closed during the pandemic or are being priced out by real-estate speculators), you really need to stop believing the lies these social media influencers feed you.
