It’s also the reason I don’t play No Man’s Sky(apart from the bait and switch launch).

People don’t play Bethesda games because they are good sims but because they are good RPGs.

If they pivot to a sim/building type game then I don’t think people will like it.

Additionally to guides, there 100% needs to be an FAQ section somewhere.

The amount of times I can’t find [insert other instance’s community here] when searching for it has been asked is both insane and expected.

Fediverse is new(for most people) and people are confused. An FAQ page would help massively as a first stepping stone when encountering issues.

sh.itjust.works/c/tech@kbin.social gives a 404.

Here is how you fix this. Not ideal, but you can do this.

Every place is the wrong place to ask this question.

Putting a label or asking a community to reveal their manifesto is not a good look or how conversations should be started.

The correct thing to do is participate in communities you seem to like and if you find out that you don’t agree with that community on one or more fronts, then by all means, please create a new instance and/or community on your own and run it according to your preferences. This is the intended purpose of the fediverse: If you don’t like it, do it better by yourself.

I wish to hear all opinions in here by all kinds of people.

I wish to hear the worst and the best arguments on a topic.

Doing what you ask, as in join a pro-Nintendo community will 100% have a bad outcome since it will, by definition, be an echo chamber.

I really hope this isn’t the case here.

Wait. You really hope an entire collection of instances and, furthermore, the entire collection of communities within each instance, will have the same exact opinion, of -at the moment- being pro-Nintendo.

You really must be joking right?

There is absolutely 0 chance you will find one opinion spread among an entire community, let alone here in the Fediverse where it’s multiple communities.

Each person has their own opinion and/or agenda and that’s the best part. I really hope this side of the entire continues to not be able to be labeled a singular thing since that is immoral and outright incorrect, on all fronts.

So to answer your question: Who knows? To each(user) their own.

Yeah it’s something that needs fixing since even right now in this thread I might be having a conversation with you but someone else seems completely different comments and not ours, nor are we seeing theirs.

It’s unintentional fragmentation further than the one already existing due to federalization.

The ecosystem needs to be more consistent.

It’s not uncommon apparently.

It’s happened to me twice so far.. I supposed, the more strain on the server the more it shits the bed on this, but it is a security issue and needs to be resolved.

When it happened, I decoded the JWT and it wasn’t different than my regular one. It still had my own subid as I usually have but for some reason, it shows me someone else’s username.

This has been my experience with every community so far.

Even when I open the same post from 2 different instances nothing is the same and additionally, sometimes even the comments will load up for half a second and then everything disappears and it says 0 comments.

Finally, this is the same even for entire communities. Same community, 24 subscribers in one instance, show 2 from the other.

This has probably something to do with the fact that content is pulled only after users subscribe from another instance, etc. I’m not exactly sure how it works for now but it could even be a bug.

Hey neighbour(Greek here)!

The way federation works, is that although federation is enabled the actual communities are not automatically broadcasted to other instances. If you want your newly created community to be visible to other instances you have to manually add it there by following these steps:

1. Copy the link of you own community. (i.e. https://lemmy.ml/c/greece for mine)
2. Find the instance you it to be visible in (i.e. beehaw.org for you)
3. Go to /communities in that instance
4. Paste your link in the search bar and press Enter. There will be no results but don’t worry, it worked.
5. Delete the link from search bar and now type the name of the community (i.e. Turkey for you) and press enter.

You should now be able to see the community there.

Unfortunately each community has to be manually indexes in every instance but I think lemmy.directory is trying to index everything so people can find stuff easier, in there.

instead of other servers?

The fact that when people started joining about a week ago or so, lemmy.ml was at the top of the recommendations in join-lemmy, the fact that it had in its description that lemmy.ml is ran by the developers of lemmy and the jerboa app so people assumed this is the correct one and lastly, unfortunately during that time the only alternative instances at the top of the recommendations was lemmygrad and I don’t remember the other one that screamed communism so people flocked to other ones.

It was in the news a while ago.

I logged in about 3 hours ago and was browsing Lemmy.ml. While looking around, I got suddenly logged out. I pressed “Log in” and it immediately logs me back in and on the top right, my username was “Unwarlike”.

I can only assume this was someone else’s account and the app messed something up.

I pressed logout and then logged back in and it went back to normal.

I think there are a few bugs that need ironing our in lemmy’s codebase.

but wouldn’t that cause conflicts?

No. There is a !gaming@lemmy.ml and a !gaming@beehaw.org.

Each community is suffixed by the instanced they are hosted in. So if the mods of one community are shitbags or the rules made a community a shit abyss, just use the same community of another instance that you feel is better.

admins are desperately hoping people start signing up to other instances

I did that and here I mentioned why I couldn’t realistically do it.

#Reddit was already toxic

I got banned for replying to a racist comment in sarcasm, to make them see how racist the comment is.

I got banned for racism…

Fuck reddit really.

I expect good and insightful conversations to be moved here.

Reddit is about to become like twitter and facebook where it’s ad-ridden, toxicity cesspool.

People will leave to keep having the actual forum experience and will eventually move here as it looks like a very good alternative.

I don’t even think you can create communities in another instance. I can see the button to do it only for your current instance so yes, you would need to create an account over there and then create the community.

Someone suggested that I request the community through !community_requests@lemmy.ml which, by looking at the previous posts and/or comments, seems to be working fine for people.

I will have to try and get the community back from the dead.

I had this discussion in here before and I think it’s for the better that the majority doesn’t leave reddit, for both sides.

The vast majority of redditors are lurkers. It’s a small minority that actually care enough to post the content and engange in conversations. Coincidentally, this same minority is the only one that cares enough to leave so I am expecting the most engaging people to migrate to other platforms like this one right here and I expect that Reddit is going to be left with lurkers and no one to drive the communities forward.

Granted, they will still be able to sell ads to lurkers but who cares? That’s not why most of us were in Reddit.

I was there to get more news and educate myself. If that’s gone, I’m gone. I’m happy to do this here, as well.
