@Tearcell of course the other screens don’t show. I’m bad at this federation thing…

Sisko punched Q.

That’s a metaphor but also what happened.

My experience as well. I blitzed and grinded followers cuz it was easy and why not. My feed is okay in general, but I had to follower 1.5kish people to get it that way.

But I still get more than twice the engagement and meaningful engagement at that on Mastadon and Kbin, with less than half the followers. I also get little out of twitter, but I may be bad at it.

Oh sweet summer child.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m trying to sell an indie game (see my profile!!!), but its crazy how the culture shifts depending on where you are! On Mastodon and Kbin I don’t feel like I’m wasting time just talking to people and enjoying the company.

On twitter and threads I just feel if I’m not yelling and shouting, its not worth my time. Like I’m falling behind if I’m not trying to push the sale.

I don’t know why that all is honestly.

I have this convoluted system where I boost something here, then log into my Mastodon account and bookmark it there…

It works as a stop gap so I don’t lose things, but would DEFINITELY be better to not have to do that lol

No, greedy!

Crypto bagholder detected!

oh L oh L at this! Maybe that boxing match can settle this.

May just be a gamble on future tech. IF federation is the future of the web (and I hope it is!) getting in early and helping shape it makes sense. Its also something of proven tech at the moment, so if they just threw this up fast to take advantage of twitter fires, it makes sense to use something that they know works as opposed to pulling a bluesky and doing it all from scratch. Also means there are more developers out there that are familiar with the tech.

They have also already declared that if you federate with them, your instance has to abide by their code of conduct, so they already throwing their weight around.

Thought I was on a different site entirely! Really love the changes, came through well on my mobile pwa.

I’ve been trying to explain it as…

Imagine if your reddit comments could be read on instagram, twitter, and facebook automatically, and you could read everyone elses comments from reddit too! Not 100% accurate, but definitely a simpler explanation and gets people interested.

Uninstalling RIF was a very melancholy experience -(

You kind of have to think of this differently than you would on reddit. The fragmentation is to an extent the point. Maybe you talked about pcgaming on Reddit, 2 or 3 discords, 4chan, and Steam communities in your daily life already. If you miss out on a conversation in one place, that’s unfortunate but not the end of the world. If its big enough news you’ll see it in another community too.

Here you can talk about gaming in Kbin, Lemmy, Mastadon, Pixelfed etc. As your explore and your network grows, you’ll get it all, possibly in the same feed. And possibly you don’t care for the kbin pcgaming, you unsubscribe from it and perhaps a big strong community forms on Lemmy.world and thats where everyone goes but you’re not subscribed? Someone will boost it your way eventually and you’ll discover it too.

Zeus!??! Blasphemy. All father or no father I say. Odin for best God.

Honestly even on reddit, id call them forums to non reddit users. Subreddits was awkward to use in IRL conversation.

Sometimes. I occasionally reread books I loved when I was younger. Mixed results though…

Like Robin Hobb and the Assassin’s series? I appreciate it much more as an adult.

But then I reread some Xanth… Ya that should have stayed in memory lane.

See I’m not addicted to Lemmy. I’m on Kbin! I don’t have a problem! Lemmy has the problem. I just read and comment there too…

Anyone else remember those old play station underground CDs? They were a ‘digital magazione’/demo discs for the Playstation 1. Was pretty cool at the time if you were a kid.

Thats where I first heart of Star Ocean as a series. They hyped me up SO much for the game, I ‘remember’ to this day the closing line “With a story as vast as its name” (may not be an exact quote lol).

The game really did live up to the hype for me, and I hope this remake can capture that spirit again,
