Yes. Like others have said, the content hasn’t quite caught up in volume or diversity.

But I think another factor is that when I fire up Lemmy, it feels like r/all in that I’m getting everything. There seem to be quite a number of meme-themed subreddits communities that dominate my All feed. Now that I think about it, I should probably make the effort to block those; I’ve made that effort on kbin.

In a way, I think it might be nice to have something equivalent to r/popular, fwiw.

Minor nit: “community” (“magazine” on kbin) doesn’t have the same ‘zing’ as “subreddit”. We need something like “sublemmy” or “sublem”.

I’ve got Plex running on 2 non-Windows systems: Raspberry Pi (Linux Docker container) and TrueNAS (FreeBSD jail). No issues.

If I could suggest something…

Try setting up a Linux VM on Windows. I’m not a Windows guy, so you might need to research how to do this. My go-to would be VirtualBox; I don’t know if Hyper-V supports non-Windows VMs, and I’m not intimately familiar with setting up WSL.

Going the VM route will let you kick the Linux tires without committing to more hardware. Or, you could get a Raspberry Pi. External USB drive optional, since you should be able to configure Windows to share your library over the network and just have your Pi mount it.

Running everything via docker solves both problems no matter which OS you choose since the underlying OS doesn’t matter.

Yes, but also no.

Long story short: you can’t run Windows containers on Linux. And to run Linux containers on Windows requires essentially running Linux on Windows, and then the Docker engine on Linux. (See also: running Linux containers on OS X.)

There do exist multi-arch container images, but that’s the result of proper planning. One example: https://hub.docker.com/_/hello-world

Is this where you come for an argument?

I’ve been using Signal for what seems like years now.

I’ve got 4 contacts (5 if you include a martial arts school I no longer attend), and only char with 2 of them regularly: my brother and sister.

I’ve downloaded and installed Briar, Session, and Simplex, and keep meaning to test them out with the help of my wife ('s phone) to see what they’re like.
