I’ve noticed a few communities where the mods haven’t ever contributed to the community (and its dead), or / and haven’t even posted anything to lemmy in years.
Just a FYI, you can ask Lemmy World admins to takeover ownership of communities community and actively moderate it, to help revive it
It seems there were a few people who simply grabbed the community names when Lemmy grew, and had to plans to contribute to them.
Some of the communities that were affected , I’ve seen have a lot of potential (like some of the larger linux distros).
I saw c/debian and c/fedora… There are people using it randomly, but the mod seems to have left ages ago… Both of these are super common linux distributions (and both have a few subscribers)
Note that I have transferred both of these to you. :)
I’ve been dual booting Pop_OS from time to time, but it’s missing three of the most important applications I use.
Unfortunately, I do still play League of Legends pretty regularly. Maybe that’ll change when WoW Forever comes out. Maybe. People seem luke warm on it.
Microsoft Teams certainly isn’t native, and Omnissa Horizon Client (VMWare RDP) says it works… but only really works on one monitor in Linux.
Between those things and already having everything set up in Windows, it’s hard to find a reason to keep booting into Linux. I like the idea of it.
Yeah. Thats fair enough. I still need to run a windows VM for work, but, I adapted our tools to work in linux.
In practice, if it weren’t for the push to Linux by Steam, it would be a hard sell for most people. I only play shonky games though, so its great for me (and I’m moving to steamOS based hardware, away from PS5/Xbox)
