It works on one laptop but not the other. I may have an issue with some settings.

I’ve been using Linux for more than a decade and distro hopped quite a bit. Mint used to be my happy place, but recently within the last 5 years or so I’ve been on Arch derivatives. Endeavour was never stable enough for my liking, but Manjaro has been great. I did have to go back to a snapshot once, fairly recently, but that was primary because I fecked it up and not due to an update.

You mentioned that you have tried several Arch-based distros, so I’m not sure if this includes Manjaro.

Personally I use 24 hr time and YYYY-MM-DD date format almost exclusively, but here in the US you’ll get a bunch of people arguing and frothing at the mouth that MM-DD-YYYY is way superior because you say “March 16th 2025” instead of “2025 March 16th” and 24 hr clock is called “military time” because they are the ones using it. So, in short, it’ll take a lot of effort to change people’s habits.

99% of my usage of Lemmy is via the mobile client, Sync in my case. It does not show the sidebar info or at least you have to actively look for it. Like I had no idea you also hosted pixelfed instance.

I didn’t realize you also hosted Mastodon. I’ve just recently switched from mastodon.social to mstdn.plus and when I was looking for the new server I think I searched for “discuss” but didn’t find anything. Now I know why.

I think, therefore, that toot.discuss.online may be better for name recognition. Unless, of course, you decide to just stop hosting Mastodon all together.
