Seems to me that it is likely due to the magnets on the hinge of the bottom laptop connecting with the bottom part of the top laptop. The top laptop then treats it as if the lid is closed.

There are a few repos where it might actually be possible if you are willing to tinker and accept the very high risk of getting banned. Specifically the ViaBedrock library and the ViaProxy application. Right now, These tools are highly experimental and serve more like advanced world viewers rather than ways to legitimately play on servers but they also work on bedrock realms as well. Worth giving a try if you know what you are getting into, Was going to make a video on this rabbit hole although I massively overcomplicated what I wanted to share with that project. Especially with figuring out bedrock server world archival, ReplayMod, and a ton of other stuff with the Lifeboat featured server I'm a big supporter of.

I either select "All" or "Local" on occasion and don't really pay attention to how those categories are filtered. The main challenge I see right now is that there is a lot of content not available or translated in English which leads me to blocking communities that otherwise have interesting and valuable discussion.

Plus there are challenges with figuring out how to find stuff that is new and insightful besides the regular defaults on the feed but perhaps part of that is simply because of not posting enough and being part of the experience.

Thanks for sharing about this, That's really quite a cool and inspiring story to hear regarding the development of the platform and specifically the nature of the people and connections who made it possible. It might have been a bit of a risk but it seems unlikely that the platform would have scaled as well without outside help.

I agree, It reminds me a lot of what Mastodon instances I've seen were like shortly after Elon Musk bought Twitter with that being the main thing hooking me into the fediverse despite the fact that I've never used Twitter. Thankfully those communities did develop and mature over time although it took a while for people to move towards unique types of posts and conversations. I believe the same can apply here with Beehaw and Lemmy although we need to be the ones to help foster the change we want to see.

That seems quite exciting, I'm personally hoping to see a platform agnostic Lemmy application available for desktop operating systems as that would be a really nice and convenient way for users to interact.
