Lostlemmings gets my vote.

This, combined with some other news stories explicitly mentioning Lemmy as an alternative, is a very positive thing for the community here.

I kinda get this. It's not reddit that I need, I just need aggregated links of shit I'm interested in. A "front page" to my internet, so to speak. There are plenty of the smaller communities that don't yet have much presence here, so I feel a little itch occasionally, but hopefully they'll start to develop too.

As long as this place continues to grow, it could be really easy to just abandon that old site. I'm trying to contribute and help that process.

That's like telling the office that the guy who just died is going to be missing his upcoming meetings.

It’s gonna be great that such a monumental news story will have this as the top comment. You’ve got my upvote.

The least controversial opinion here is big companies need to stop with acquisitions.

I believe I hold the 2nd least controversial opinion of, mergers suck and all but I really want to like ABK games again, and I sure don't see them fixing shit on their own. I think their games and company would improve under Microsoft.

..but at this point? Fucking end this charade. It's obvious too many forces are against it, no matter how much I wanted it to work out.

I absolutely find great value in forums. And I think the success of reddit speaks to that, as well as the urgency to find somewhere new like Lemmy.

I still don’t think reddits going anywhere but this should proliferate alternatives which is a great thing.

Honestly what’s the alternative to a forum anyway? They’ve existed as long as the internet. Sure social media exists but it’s far more ephemeral and you can’t keep old information alive very long.

They’ve always been model citizens. I expect the utmost regard for decorum today.

"I am not a lawyer"

One of the more amusing acronyms out there.

I can see pros and cons. More people all at once gives greater odds of some unique perspective to take hold that would otherwise only be seen in a single smaller sub community. But there’s also a more vested interest in the health of “your” community if it’s smaller.

Baseball is a fun example because I’m really sad the biggest group so far has only like 80 subscribers. I NEEEEEED my fix of baseball chatter so I really want that one to grow, lol.

That style is just perfect. Absolutely interested in checking this out. The only thing I’ve even watched by the guy is Fantastic Mr Fox, and they all seem great but this one has caught my eye more than anything since.

Possibly the most electric dude in the entire sport at this particular moment. He’s unbelievable to watch.

Im definitely in that boat. Tying back to the baseball example I searched for communities with the keyword baseball and subbed to the largest. With some other interests I have actually joined multiple of the same communities that are just in different lemmy servers.

Oh no. I thought i was going to get tips.

Like for some reason mine still says "subscribe pending" instead of subscribed. Maybe cuz I'm on the "world" server and not the "ml" but I got no damn clue brudda

So I kinda stumbled on this place while searching for familiar "subs" but should we plug this on the discord? I'm assuming so.

I’ve gotta agree with you. The premise seemed flawed from the start.

I dunno, man.. that feels like an overly harsh headline. This is perhaps the best fighting game at launch to ever release. It's got immediate polish, a solid and fun roster, plenty of new-player-friendly features, and no noticably game breaking bugs.

Surely it could be better, just about anything can be improved somehow, but I'm hard pressed to pick significant flaws in it.
