It definitely has more niche use due to the children interactions. Its pretty much just a shorthand for one specific case of function calls you would do so that you dont have to mess with all of reparenting, position, etc. for that case

Its more useful for engine and tool development (and is used in the engine for the change type button when you right click)

Off the top of my head a use case in a game would if for some reason you have placeholders, replacing the placeholder with the actual node. Another one is if your enemies change based on a specific metric in the game (e.g. once a run hits 1 minute all enemies change to be a harder enemy), you can just replace the old enemy node/script with the new one so that you get the updated script (would have to also manage the sprite in that case though)

Was an issue with the upgrade script when upgrading to 0.19.5

Caused by the same db issue thats been causing issues

Yeah they appear in the feeds. So people primarily use it through sub and local sorts atm

old is still supported, what comment section are you trying to look at

Newer communities arent affected

it cant have the same slug, just for the idea of remaking

it doesnt fully break communities, you just cant look at the page for the community and new people cant sub (but they can still be posted and read from). humor has still been active with posts while broken

next downtime hopefully should be soon to do another round of fixes

Theoretically remaking the community is the exact same as moving it to another instance since new communities arent affected. Everythings been getting worked on openly in the support channel on discord/matrix so if anyone wants to help can help get things fixed there

Been getting worked on, last downtime fixed some of the issues but script still needs to be adjusted a bit since some communities break again a bit after being fixed

People interact with the site that dont have accounts on the site

Making it local only would lock them out of news and discussion about something they interact with

There was some maintenance to try to fix things but things ended up not being resolved so had to be rolled back and there should be another maintenance period in the future again

should be back

Been getting worked on and people have been figuring out how best to fix the issue

there are references which is why its a pain to fix and isnt just dropping duplicates

I havent been the one looking at the database but im assuming itll be a similar way to how the person table was fixed. Theres essentially duplicate entries for certain communities atm

Its been getting looked at and we have some more people that are being added on to help out as well

Theres been issues with the communities table since the update and it hasnt been fixed yet since there hasnt been time to do so. Same issue that hit the person table but that one was fixed after the db maintenance we had

Community table currently has issues. Should be fixed once theres time to do more database maintenance again but for now the posts can be accessed in the main feeds

Community creation has been open for awhile, theres no community applications anymore
