You only see the likes from your instance, they don't federate to others. This is a purposeful decision made my the Mastodon team, but I don't agree with their reasoning behind it.
If you can't decide, then you can just use the flagship instance, mastodon.social.
It doesn't need to be, as long as there is also a proper default for those who don't care. Lemmy and Mastodon both unfortunately lacked this during the periods where they both had the most opportunity to grow.
Nowadays Mastodon does it pretty well. Users don't need to know anything, they just download Mastodon from the app store and register on the instance it chooses by default.
I just opened BlueSky to see how many people I followed using their own PDS instance and the fourth post in my feed was from someone using one, and the 7th was from Washington Post who also uses their own.
Bluesky does have federation, it's not at the level of Mastodon's, but it's improving. You can host a personal data server, which lets you host your account from your own server. You do still access this account through the main BlueSky website and apps, but authentication is done through your own server.
Also, a Bluesky and Mastodon user, although I use Mastodon significantly more. Both have upsides and downsides. Mastodon's onboarding experience has improved, but it's still worse than Bluesky's. Also, the fact that Mastodon doesn't federate likes is honestly very strange. It makes the platform look dead at first glance, which really hurts first impressions.
I still prefer Mastodon, federation is great and I've had an easier time finding people to follow there. Bluesky's feature of following community made feeds is really cool though.
This was nothing more than a poorly executed joke from Proton. Some people are massively overreacting.
Its seriously absurd. I hate ads, but there's realistically not a better option to profit when providing free software and services like Mozilla is doing. Investing into ads that don't violate your privacy is a great decision. I don't know what the hell people want from them.
They said not just pop culture references, not zero pop culture references.
As the commenter stated, it is a copyright issue. Nvidia is not allowed to use this code in a proprietary driver.

Got this from a post on the alien site. From previous discussion on Lemmy it sounded like Linux users had good things to say about this game but were discouraged about the upcoming FaceIt implementation such that they wouldn't be able to join anticheat enabled matches. Those users and Linux gamers on the fence would probably appreciate hearing this news.
With this announcement on the dev team's community Discord, it appears Linux users will NOT lose access to matches with anticheat.

I understand. I wasn't disagreeing that it's an upside of Mastodon, just clarifying for anyone who doesn't know.
