Yup, Christian's latest post about Apollo sealed the deal for me leaving. It's a bummer, but hopefully it leads to something new and exciting starting here! I'm guessing there's been a pretty big influx of Reddit refugees.

I’m loving Beehaw! And it’s super cool that we can all interact across servers and communities.

I think this has a lot of potential, I mean I’m already using it a ton. The only thing missing imo is more niche communities, but those will come along as the user base grows.

Simonmagus’ suite and Jayserpa’s quest expansions are my must haves for sure! I’m also totally in love with Pulcharmsolis‘ armor mods. They’re the ones behind the Velothi packs, and that new Maomer SeaScale set.

His apartment isn’t too archaic lol, my first apartment like 3 years ago was actually pretty similar. The only difference was that I didn’t have a CRT tv lol.

I figured that was why I couldn't downvote on other instances, thanks for clearing that up! Honestly, I'm fine with that. I think not having the option actually makes me less aggressive lol.

And that's good to know that others can't just come here and downvote everyone. Again, thanks for clearing this up for me, I appreciate it!

Skyrim for sure. I have an embarrassing number of hours thanks to the modding community.

I could never get into Fallout New Vegas, but for whatever reason playing it on the Steam Deck made it infinitely more enjoyable! I couldn't recommend it enough.

Oh, and Mass Effect is perfect too.

Wow, this looks beautiful! I'm super jealous

I know lol it just seems really daunting. And idk if the userbase is even large enough to support what I'd personally want. It'd probably be just me.

But regardless, I'd love a community like the NatureIsLit subreddit, or even AIDKE (animals I didn't know existed).

Yup, I just experienced that too. No idea why, I haven't had that happen before.

Beehaw was super easy. It was literally just your typical sign up process for any website. For me the biggest hurdle initially was just understanding how all of this works, and how they all fit together.

Love to see Forgotten City getting recognition! I was in love with the original Skyrim mod.

I hate strict…

I love Interpol, but tbh Turn on the Bright Lights is probably their only album where I love every song. I love plenty of individual songs from their others, but not the entire albums.

I’m surprised you don’t have any others outside of Interpol tho. They’re not exactly super well known.

Just Google, unless I'm looking to pirate something. Then I use Yandex.

I've actually really gotten into the emulation scene, so I'm playing through Monster Hunter Freedom Unite and some Pokemon rom hacks rn. Also some Fallout New Vegas.

I'm playing Diablo 4, but not on Deck.

Thanks for this, it actually helped a lot! I think I'm finally starting to figure things out lol. I do really like this idea though, as I think it'll lead to a lot less friction in various communities than Reddit had, where fighting in the comments was just commonplace. Either way I'm excited to see how things progress!

And thank you again, I really appreciate it!

How do you think niche communities will succeed? Will they be more successful in more populated servers? Like should a Monster Hunter community be made in a server dedicated to gaming? Hoping this makes sense, I'm still trying to understand how it all works.

Me too! I'm torn due to the monetization, but damn if it isn't a fun game. My only real issue is the scaling: since the world levels with you I never feel like I'm getting stronger.

Thanks for this! Will be using this after the blackout
