I installed it just because of this post and

Wow you weren’t kidding

100% agree and am baffled at the lack of remote play for any network, since that’s something that would make this product a lot more worthwhile, though still at a premium I can’t see many people paying for.

Really good game, but the player base is quite small so this is understandable

Not out of the woods yet, but a good win

If anything, it probably encourages more real sales from would be pirates who like their message.

Same here, though an overwhelming amount of bird pictures I find lol

…I made it xD

…this hurts too much to not upvote

Lemmy.ml is on and off today, I believe it is continuously being overloaded by users, as well as them migrating to a better server to support people. For now, just assume that the server is overloaded if you cannot access it.

Nah you aren’t in, keep trying.

for legal reasons this is a joke

Usually, when you sign up to a service (E.g Reddit, Facebook, etc), you connect to their centralised servers, and access all data from those servers. This also carried the risk of being subject to overly harsh policies surrounding moderation or even content of posts. Lemmy is “distributed”, meaning that, since there isn’t any one person who owns all of the servers, not only can you theoretically set up your own server that you can never be banned from (since you own it), but for the influx of users currently happening, the load of all the new people is spread across a lot of unique servers which interact, meaning the whole system doesn’t collapse if one server becomes too overloaded. In theory, it doesn’t matter which server you sign up to, as you can access all content anywhere on Lemmy from it (ignoring potential blocks of other servers, though this shouldn’t be much of an issue), but what would change is both:

• What servers you can easily find in the search bar, as only servers someone on your server has interacted with will appear initially.
• What content you see on the “Local” tab of the sidebar, as that tab only shows posts from communities on your particular server, E.g Lemmy.lukeog.com for me, and Lemmy.ca for you.

Echoing on from @howdy, think of it as email: if you have a gmail account, you can still talk to someone with a yahoo account. The same principle applies here: given the URL (link) to community, you can subscribe to it and view all posts on it using an account on any server, so the sign up server does not matter to have access to all content.

Same here, feels interesting but good!
