This is because flatpak has a layer of isolation and installs its own copy of the drivers. If your system driver gets updated, then the flatpak one isn’t matching.

If you update your system, you should always update everything, including flatpak.

This worked, thank you!!

Does not yield the right results still

Yes that yields the same result. I get some results, but not any from Lemmy including the one I am looking for.

Not exactly. I want this to be a place where many users post their different feeds, so I can browse through them and subscribe to the ones I like. RSS is a great candidate for this.

You would need to use lemmy to publish the feed, right?

This does not address the searchability issue, or the complexity and cost of self hosting. I want less friction for the user who is only focused on publishing and does not care much to own their infrastructure.

I alluded in my post to why a blog would not work, but I will describe more clearly here:

• if this is done via blog, the searchability issue is not addressed. I want it possible to search through all of these feeds
• This creates large friction. I want it to be possible for the user to publish a feed without the complexity of hosting

While I love the idea, many RSS users may not use Lemmy, and I would not want to restrict the use of this to lemmy users only. But for now, this seems to be the best existing option. Thank you!

My claim is admittedly not based on trying it myself. I suppose I should test out friendica and see for myself.

what do screen recording softwares for wayland use under the hood then?

My issue with Friendica is it consumes more resources, making it much more expensive to host, especially at scale.

My issue with MBin is similar to that of Friendica. It’s more expensive to self-host. Lemmy scales better.

What I am proposing would use the same exact lemmy backend. How would it magically use more resources with the same backend?

What you said is incorrect, the difference in features offered is not the only reason for the difference in resource utilization. Lemmy meme communities have plenty of images going around.

The argument that I want to test is that Lemmy is as up to this task as LemmyBB being a phpBB experience but with a lemmy backend. I am proposing something like that.

The reason not to go with the other alternatives is that lemmy seems to do much better on resource utilization, which would make it much easier to host and scale.

does OBS just do everything with ffmpeg, or does it introduce extra functionality?

Following users can be simulated by the client. Behind the scenes, every user will have their own community, and their personal posts will go there. If you follow the user, the client would make you follow that community behind the scenes.

But I suppose you would need to prevent other users from being able to post there, I did not consider that. Lemmy does not have that kind of permission control. So maybe this is not viable … hmm

You’re right that lemmy never intended to be a Facebook mock-up (and I hope my post did not seem to allude to that), but I was wondering if it could be made to be so by changing only the client but keeping the rest intact.

My limited knowledge makes me think that lemmy is easier to host, consuming less resources in general, hence why I want to consider it first. But I could be wrong.
