Don't think it's really necessary. The different wikis don't really need to talk to each other. But an open source Gamepedia-like wiki software would be great. Maybe it exists already.
Wiki.gg is very good though.
There's nothing wrong with lemmy.world. I think most people aren't looking for specifically a federated platform, they're just looking for a platform, and it happens to be federated. In that case, it sorta makes sense to go with the most popular instance.
*used to be endorsed by Mojang. About a year ago Mojang said it's no longer official. Presumably because of Fandom. See https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Minecraft_Wiki:Community_portal/Microsoft_status_update
I thought they were platypuses and I was confused
But 1.4.1 will be the last update! Actually, 1.4.3. No, 1.4.4. No 1.4.5. For real this time surely...
Top is pretty self explanatory. Hot takes a combination of how many votes they got and how recent they are. And I think active is based on the number of new comments, although I'm not entirely sure.
That was not the case with lemmy. Most of the instances I tried required manual approval for signups. It took me going through like 4 different instances to find one that didn't.
To be fair, most people reccomend lemmy.world now, and that doesn't need manual approval. But there's another problem, they can't interact with Beehaw.
"Simply" picking an instance is not actually that simple. Most people just want to go to the site and sign up. Even with email, they know what Gmail and Outlook are. But on Lemmy, there's no indication of what you're supposed to pick. Even if you try to go with what seems like the "default" instance, lemmy.ml, you're met with an announcement saying not to do thaf cause it's overloaded.
People don't want to have to make decisions, especially when they don't have any information to go off of.
At least we'll have Memmy and Artemis
Love the app. Especially love the catch up feature. My only major problem with it is in a thread with lots of comments, tht don't all load at once, and if you try to collapse a comment and scroll down, it goes crazy while it loads all the replies to the comment you collapsed, meaning I have to wait for all the comments to load before I can read anything.
Yeah that's been my experience, but that won't be the case for everyone. I mostly play singleplayer games, only a few multiplayer games, so it makes sense that I don't have issues. But for someone who plays lots of multiplayer games, it wouldn't work.
Most of the world likely doesn't use SMS anymore
That has not been the case from what I've seen (I'm Australian). The only widespread methods of communication I see are SMS and iMessage. Things like Discord and Instagram are only used among younger people.
Edit: Actually people do use Facebook messenger. Don't know how many though
They have dogs, so that's not really an option
Wish it was on Android :( I've tried a bunch but none of them are great. The closest was wefwef, but being a web app has it's problems. I think I'm going back to Jerboa for now.
That is a huge amount of tomato sauce
No, not in my experience. Some games do exist that do that, but that's the choice of the developer.
It doesn't even have to be NSFW. Modding any subreddit work.
Edit: Welp, nevermind. It seems Boost is down now.
Right, but even non-reddit users would be confused by it. When everyone advertises lemmy as seamlessly integrating with all the different instances, it doesn't matter what instance your account is on, this definitely is not that.
Yooo Rory Blank comics on Lemmy! Rory Blank's great.
PC, mostly because I like KB+M. And if it's a game that uses a controller, I have the steam deck.
Yeah and it's also too much effort for communities to band together around it every year. Someging that requires this much effort from communities should remain once every 5 years, otherwise they'll stop participating.
Not that it even matters at this point :(
Yeah but now that it has it people aren't going to leave. We need the alternatives to be good before they leave, they can't migrate now and have it be good later.
There's not really any good alternative for large communities. The amount of tools available on Discord in the form of bots is so useful, any other platform they move to needs to have that as well.
Right, but smaller instances break as well. The only solution for that is to have multiple accounts, which doesn't work very well on Lemmy right now. Hopefully that will be improved
Yeah I'm gonna play it on Steam Deck, so gamepass doesn't help
What? Defederating doesn't fix that.
The solution is 1: to make sure users understand that it's a bad idea to flock to meta's instance, and 2: to implement that feature in the fediverse if everyone likes it so much they're willing to leave. The solution is not defederating now because of the posibbilty that they do that in the future.
There are none as good as Memmy though. And none with the design of Apollo (except wefwef, but that's a web app. It's ok, but it causes problems)
Yeah I have
No I only have Steam Deck, that's why I don't want Denuvo, cause then I have to go online. Might end up buying it and seeing if changing the system clock helps.
Good to see ChatGPT respecting SCP safety protocols
