Kbin.social and lemmy.ml seem to both be pretty overloaded rn, lemmy.ml paused registrations the other day and kbin.social is only just starting to re-enable federation but afaik every other instance is working normally

On Jerboa at least you can do this by tapping on the comment

I only played JC3 but the player is basically invincible - the lack of a health bar and the quick recovery lean into the fact that the game isn't trying to be serious, but instead lets you have fun messing around with stuff. When I played I was mostly just trying to do fun trick shots/find ways to do fun nonsense with the phyisics engine. A few of my friends and I had a fun time trying the max out the random task scores (free falling the longest distance, grappling up the most, etc) without looking at online strategies

I don't know if it works well from mastodon because of the way timelines are displayed, but kbin allows viewing both mastodon posts and Lemmy posts, so that might be a good alternative. That being said, there isn't an app and their federation is broken because the servers are overloaded.

There are some things I miss about reddit, I just noticed spoiler tags don't seem to work (at least on Jerboa), and sometimes the image display is way too small. That being said, I'll be sticking around here more because I genuinely think it can be better than reddit in the long run if it picks up enough steam.

Definitely won't be deleting my reddit though, as I'd like to believe some of my comments/posts were actually helpful for niche questions. As an example, A few weeks ago my several-year-old post got a comment describing a solution for my 2012 HP server that wasn't detecting more than 1 core in Proxmox (a server OS). Regardless of how bad reddit is, it saved me in weird problems like that multiple times, so I'm personally against giving up all of that information just for the sake of protest.

Most students have probably used Google drive by now, but it's still worth adding. Additionally, I personally find Overleaf to be great for LaTeX documents.

Edit: Also worth mentioning Notion for note-taking/studying/planning, and if slack is on the list for study groups, discord might as well be also. This might be because I'm a CS major, but nearly every class I've taken has had students make a discord server for studying/working on homework

I have a 9 pro as well! I really love the screen, and being able to charge my phone up to 80% in ~20-25 minutes is incredibly convenient.

The software is decent but I do wish it was closer to the pixel's UI. I may play around with custom ROMs soon but I've been scared of messing up my phone.
