Also hashtags don’t help federation at all, groups/communities will “boost” the post so it federates to all the followers

Have you tried Deus Ex Randomizer? We have an unusually high number of Steam Deck players

And this is to go even further beyond https://youtu.be/6622xan963k?si=xRdoPq_DVrBJjgbk

If you think it would be more impressive that it overtook more recent games on Steam… Well look at the list, it overtook all of those too except CS2 and PUBG (if you even consider that a recent game at this point)

The picture in the article is the top 7, irrespective of release date

Yes the post belongs to the user and the user’s instance. The community basically just boosts/retweets the post.

The 7th Guest VR will be speedrun on Wednesday!

After that play the prequel, Before the Storm

if an instance has no users and only communities, then it’s less likely to be defederated by anyone, and easier to manage

I do the same thing (also because I don’t want to pay for tons of storage space lol) https://lemmy.mods4ever.com/communities

VideoCardz claims that the RX 9070 reviews will go live on March 5th, coinciding with the official launch of the RTX 5070.

at that point why even say “the Reddit alternative called Lemmy”

you could say “the Reddit alternative called Voyager”

Proxying is a separate option from caching. I think it was added in 0.19.5

There are many games@ and gaming@ communities lol

I haven’t tried comparing their activity levels recently, I’m just subscribed to a bunch.

I was really trying to figure out what “WINE DL LOVER RIDES” meant…

It’s way easier to notice and defed when you can see these fake usernames

You can set a Lemmy server to proxy image requests

It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out, if instances with downvoting disabled become popular

Personally I think downvoting is important, it’s like micro-moderation, in a democratic fashion. Sure it doesn’t always work out well, but it can be good for keeping spam and malicious posts at the bottom.

I used to have this clipart program lol

Could someone remind me what it’s called?

maybe you could say “powered by Lemmy”? “part of the Lemmy network”?

as far as identity, I think for lemmy.world it’s the same answer as Reddit’s identity? which is a good thing, there’s a bunch of instances that are slight variations on that identity and that’s cool
