Yes, for you and me, this is useful information. But here is where I think, for less savvy users, even a blanket error would be really helpful, focusing on next steps the user can try.

Thanks for the tip, and yes, I can do that, I can check logs, but the point of my post is to have some information that a less experienced user can access and get a clue on what to try next.

BTW in the case of RE2remake, the solution was to switch the game to the beta branch, redownload it, then launch it again - it worked, but I only know this, because of a post on the Steam board of the game. Here is where a blanket error would come in handy (“try this, this, and this, then switch to beta and try that, etc.”), if there is absolutely no information about the nature of the error.

Yes! That’s the other one I forgot to mention! 😆

Indeed, this is on desktop. Curiously, on mobile, I don’t really have a problem with YouTube, apart from the infuriating length and abundance of ads.

Good points… But it’s even more bizarre, if you think about it: apparently the only person to never have used the YouTube player, is… the guy who designed it? What the…? 🫤

LOL, thanks!

I see now, thanks! Note: If that’s the case, we need an updated FAQ later down the line, when Ruud says Lemmy.world will have been properly stress-tested :-)

I did not realize that lemmy.world is but a single instance - it’s all starting to come together in my head :-)

The FAQ linked earlier in the thread suggested making an account on lemmy.world, that same thing was what I meant in my post as well. And I see the comments about it being beneficial to “stress test” the Lemmy backend, so… should I edit my original post?

Sure thank you, I’d gladly check it out!

Small question - is Tildes not part of the “Fediverse”? If it is, why can’t I use it with my lemmy.world account? Are there multiple Fediverses? :-)

This part is especially helpful:

“You should always stay on lemmy.world. To join the “music” community from lemmy.ml, you click the search icon in the top right corner on lemmy.world (not the “Communities” link) and search for !music@lemmy.ml including the exclamation mark (!) at the start. You should see the community pop up in the list after clicking Search. In general, the search term is “![community-name]@[instance-name]”.”

A few times I was looking for communities using the search bar, and got confused that I found more than one community for the same thing (e. g. music) and they seemed to be on different Lemmy instances. I did not know if I can even subscribe to them or not, if they are even visible for me with my lemmy.world account or not, etc. Now I understand that part a bit better. Thanks again! :-)

Thanks! This seems to be exactly what I was looking for :-)
