Memes on c/Games - yes or no?

The issue I have with memes is that you end up with the same low effort meme posts:

"does anyone remember this forgotten gem? (image of best selling game)"

"When your custom character is in a cutscene"

"You're 12 again, school is over and you're about to play (massively popular game)"

Etc

I feel like maybe there should just be a gaming memes community. For that sort of content.

[HN] Fidelity has cut Reddit valuation to $4.5B from $10B

Reply in thread

An investment firm bought shares of Reddit (and some other privately held tech companies) at a certain value. In this instance they thought Reddit was worth ~$10 billion. This was August 2021. They now think it's only worth about half that. So they're having to update their books to indicate that they don't actually think they're holding $X of Reddit, but actually only about $0.5X of Reddit.

Jerboa or just in the browser. Honestly though most people's issues are likely to be because they joined a huge instance which is falling over due to load. Consider making a new account on a smaller instance.

Is Lemmy's growth good and what federation will look like?

I'm one of the new users and I do have to say the fact that I had to jump through less hoops to sign up with .world was a big reason why I signed up there. When you're trying something new the less friction the better to acquire new users. I don't want to write an essay on why I want to get an account. I know we want to minimize bots, but there are other ways to do that than throwing unnecessary road blocks in front of users who are skeptical to join to begin with.
