Make sure to promote your new communities at [email protected] and [email protected] - Lemmy doesn’t have an algorithm so getting off the ground will take some effort. Beware that we’re still at below critical mass for easy sustaining of niche communities, so if you desire for one you will probably have to be the one doing the majority of the posting yourself for a while.
People say time travel is impossible but it was 2020 yesterday and now people tell me it’s five years later?
Every time a live service game flops, an angel gets her wings.
I agree with this take. The crawler bots that mindlessly replicate Reddit content (but without the interactivity of the comment section) are terrible. This just makes it easier to share stuff on Lemmy for the people who still haven’t fully left Reddit. It’s still a human who has actively registered on Lemmy seeing content they want to share with others on here, only now having a tool to do so easier.
What exactly is the harm?
Scaled is different, as I understand it it’s a re-weighing of votes proportional to the size of a community to help promote smaller communities.
They won’t all stick. That’s just the nature of things, no site/game/service/what-have-you boasts a 100% retention rate. Hell, not even heroin does. But with every MAU bump, some amount of them do stick around, and with every such increase to the baseline MAUs we get closer to critical mass.
No, that would show posts made on your local instance sorted by Hot. Not global posts but sorted by what’s voted Hot by your instance’s users.
I don’t think changing the default behaviour of the All feed is wise, but adding a sorting option like Hot(Local) or something to the All feed to see what is trending in terms of votes from your local instance could be interesting for medium sized instances. But for any small or tiny instance this would be essentially worthless so it would have to be optional.
It’s possible that early adopters (ie: the current Lemmy population) as a population subset don’t fully conform to the 90-9-1 rule.
Even though 50k is a nice number of MAUs and allows for active discussion in the bigger communities, it’s still not enough to fuel niche communities - at least presuming the 90-9-1 rule applies even to early adopters such as us. While I agree that discoverability could be a lot better, I think what’s holding back the smaller communities right now is lacking critical mass more than anything else.
Welcome! It’s a great, homely place that still feels a little bit like the old internet.
In addition to the already mentioned Lemmyverse, two other great ways of finding active communities are [email protected] and [email protected]
Is there a mobile app yet? I made an account because I was interested in the new Feeds feature, but I spend 100% of my time on the Threadiverse using my phone.
Everyone is a little in the wrong, I think. But Argo is one of the good guys, and for me one of the biggest takeaways I was left with after deep diving onto this whole mess is a deep sadness over the friendship between Kurvitz and Argo falling apart.
Damn Martin Luiga is involved with Longdue now? I’ve only heard negative things about that studio before and I also thought he was already a part of Red Info with Kurvitz and Rostov. The Disco Elysium drama vortex just keeps on churning it seems.
How have I gone this long without knowing Josef Fares was directing these games?
That’s a classic negotiation technique abusing the psychological anchoring effect.
It’s as if two completely different studios made these games, and the one behind Syndicate had no idea what made Unity great.
Funny you say that. Unity was developed by Ubisoft Montreal, the primary Ubisoft studio who are responsible for much of the good work they’ve done (think Splinter Cell, Far Cry and AC: Black Flag). Syndicate was developed by Ubisoft Quebec, and it was also that developer’s first AC game.
I’m sorry. The attention span comment wasn’t directed at you personally, it was reflecting on your point that people would find it too slow and boring with fewer kills. It wasn’t meant as a jab at all.
I think it sounds like we’re mostly in agreement. And yeah, the O’Driscolls spawning in and popping up like whack-a-moles is another great example!
I don’t really disagree with you about the nature of the story, and I don’t have anything against the overall narrative. I just personally think the story could have been told with fewer bloodbaths and outright massacres and still be compelling. In fact, for me every innocent you kill would feel more impactful morally and narratively if there were fewer of them.
But maybe I’m out of touch with the attention span of the modern mind.
And judging by your username you found a great instance to call home as well! Welcome, let us know if you need anything. Since there is no recommendation algorithm here I suggest subscribing to [email protected] and [email protected] to help find new communities to subscribe to.
