@noodlejetski @qooqie https://erinkissane.com/mastodon-is-easy-and-fun-except-when-it-isnt I read article and can say I understand many problems listed there. If you join Biggest instance then sure you won't encounter some of the listed problems, but federation isn't about joining biggest. Not intuitive UI also big factor, why greeting message don't tell Use #Hello #Привет or other language for first message? People don't understand/know about search being specific to # add to that bombardment with tips... Fediverse is bad for newcomer.

@Drunemeton @DmMacniel Nope, as someone who upload gameplay videos can tell you, you need to verification yourself before they will allow to post links in description. So all links provided by Youtuber are because they are trustworthy or just gone through the verification process. I am lazy to do and my country is not supported for monetization so no deal for me to go through = no outside links in description. You can try it for yourself.

@seansand @vis4valentine Yeap first thing they do is say test or hello... And nothing. Then they wonder why there is no one, or why only 1 tab with news especially non English speakers are dumbfounded. I just look at live feed if in mood> see someone asking for help or test> explain # and how important to use them to find people or be found qnd how only # works in search bar. I don't blame them because not every top boosted post has # but a little proding, use # local language and voilà progress

@QuantumEyetanglement @Pickle_Jr If you mention Pixelfield than mention their pet project https://fedidb.org/

@MJYW Poor Phantom, how much atk he needs to compare to other FRD. Lower redeployment for Clone would work so well.

@Xperr7 My favourite would be Nearl Light, especially as I was introduced to MN rerun a week earlier.As a child I really liked stories about knights and weapon of my choice would be sword. Of course you later learn that Knight mean Nobility so it ain't all white. So story about tournaments where corporate manipulate Veterans, newbies get shafted and infected basically gladiators that try to survive discrimination and associated as plague bearers.Special mention to Children of Ursus vignette.

@JackGreenEarth Yeah, I saw message like on day 20 and they have memo that "download link works 7 days, please reply if you can't download" well I replied once, twice, trice and send email to support. Only after I send email I got working link. So don't bother with Reddit, direct email will go through other channels. And you are forced to login on reddit to download.

@KonalaKoala Hello there, enjoy exploring Lemmy. Without complicating too much when people talk about federation/fediverse, here https://fedidb.org/ which lists services that uses same protocol aka fediverse. So if you don't find niche on your instance, it might be somewhere on other lemmy instance, kbin instance or somewhere on Microblogs/blogs in related #koalas #koala . If you find people with same interests you can create community yourself. It's wild,prototype,unexplored west here. GL.

@zephyr I wrote my observations https://hub.hubzilla.de/wiki/kotking/Fediverse/Home . It's a really Work in progress and raw, but I mentioned and credited source some questions you have. Still think how to fill Kbin section and as I use Misskey also will be written about... But it's so much feature bloat that I would need wiki for wiki... Half joking.

@Beneath_the_storm
On Mastodon Misskey and Hubzilla you can make private only so you have to accept follower. Might be in the works but not priority. You can toggle not to show your follows so people can't harass your follow.Same with Magazine.

@Xperr7 Smug cat, Smug cat, Here comes the Smug cat!

@BuckRowdy https://i.imgur.com/SB2W3gI.png
The only real reddit drama that I personally was invested was r/animemes with Trap ban, so it's easy to ignore chat, follows, cryptocurency, Reddit becoming close sourced, Avatars (I set up one and change it 1 time when free was given and like ehh it's gamer thingy lookalike will use it).
I got my GPDR or how it called request, but didn't login till day 20 and you have 7 days to download and 30 to request link... well I requested link 3 times and still error.

@MonsieurHedge @Xperr7 Yeah like add to that some bugs in the system when Mastodon User can reply normally, but bot that you somehow scramble to do the most lazy way won't show up on Kbin. You can find instance owner but an ArknightsEN bot won't show up in search. And with these bugs around you have to explain people what they can do here and why sometimes they can speak sometimes can't how to track things from Mastodon, Why # from mastodon show up on kbin but not otherwise...

@Blaze @ALostInquirer Yeah documentation is reaaaaaallyyyy lacking. Mastodon you kinda understand if you look enough, but Misskey .... If you don't use feature you won't find any information unless someone wrote a guide which is problem in it self as guides most likely are notes so it won't be easy to find one. Add to that error messages that don't explain problem, like why people can't make response to Kbin thread after some time(some did, some get error) https://imgur.com/a/3wjEcCb

@ernest I think lack of communication is a problem, but it's not end of the world. Some people gone Kbin and understand potential Kbin has, so don't throw line like you step down due delays. When reddit blackout happened some people noted that "Reddit founders" only noted 2 people... when years ago there was 3 founders. One was booted and now is buried as if he never was there. I would rather have you with your life problems than someone who have no such problems... Thank you for your hard work!

Not for Lemmy precisely, but I said f it and never gone back(excluding random click). Trying to help AK community I was involved past few years. Moderating a bit on kbin AK magazine, but mostly either spend time on Discord where mix of reddit and non reddit sitting. Mastodon for more serious information and interaction with Lemmy, while Misskey for Arknights fanart/art with hopes that some federates to Kbin magazine(lately # not picking up sadly). Waiting for better mod tools, federation fixes.

@cashews_win @bloodtide This one is interesting, what do you mean splitting? I think first thing people that go on reddit will search for something right? Example: you search for anime memes right? Some may know but we have several subreddits dedicated for memes, so you would join the biggest right or you will scour to see if content is engaging enough(here boobs on text memes). So reddit already splits community, nothing new on
lemmy/kbin/etc. Having nothing showup on #Snowrunner is worse IMHO

Light levels are your greed meter essentially yeah more options, but it gets harder and low light is requirement to get 3rd ending via event node on last floor. Also most times those additional paths are challenge stages and need a key to go that route. #arknights #IS3 man answering from Mastodon and 0 context make this nonsense!

@Xperr7 My experience huh. Well my first 2 days when Reddit blackout started I found some reddit advise to try Mastodon. So spent those days wandering Mastodon.social looking via hastag reddit what's happening and finding good sources to track and news what has been done. Later via fluke of genius gone on webcache of r/Arknights and found discord. Right now seeing how Elon musk is a ideal for Reddit CEO, push me further and further to delete 11 year old account.

@Xperr7 My only regret is having an ifttt search under my reddit account for free games on r/gamedeals while I myself holding impulse to open Relay and get my dose of catgirls or Arknights discussion, anime and games or Warframe which I played till PC got too outdated for the game. I would like to give a praise to #warframe #community to not only for their support of charities but for making new home called dormi.zone. Hope we can give Arknights players another home for discussion.
