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
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.
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.
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.
No, not in my experience. Some games do exist that do that, but that’s the choice of the developer.
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.
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
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.
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…
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.
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.
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
