r/Silksong joins lemmy! (And a new lemmy instance)
-
This particular thing IS a common-sense technicality. Without it, every new instance, the second it came online, would start to try and mirror THE ENTIRE FEDIVERSE.
The ideal would be some kind of in-between, but that's a lot more complex, and involves the developers making decisions for you in terms of what to pull in and what not to.
Yes, hence why I said I understand why it needs to remain opt-in. It still doesn't change the fact that it's a burdensome and inconvenient quirk.
Not that I have a better solution to propose either, mind. Feels like one of those things that just is what it is, an unfortunate downside of the federated design.
-
Also the baltatro community !Balatro@indie-ver.se was made by the moderators of r/Balatro as they wanted to be a part of this to. I don't think they knew of that community though...
Not to worry, plenty of room for two, remind 'em to cross-post though.

For the past couple of weeks, some of us moderators of the subreddit r/Silksong, have been working on an exciting project. We’ve created a lemmy instance for fans of indie games. We officially run and support this instance and the Silksong community on it. Please check it out at !Silksong@indie-ver.se
I invite you, current users of the Fedi-verse, to join us at @indie-ver.se, subscribe and interact with the communities there, as they grow. So we can support both a more free internet, and indie game communities. See you soon!
Hell yeah new Lemmy instance!
Approvals might be queued when the admins are sleeping. sry
Lol I relate to that one.

The should get a piefed community so they don't have to support and promote anti-trans, pro-war, and pro-genocide lemmy developers.
Man Piefed is cool but their evangelists really try and sow discord and scare away newcomers.

Hi! You are right, I did not know. We 100% support all LGTBQ+ members of our communities, and I will be looking into the lemmy donation link.
You should look into these accusations first to have a fully formed decision. Sentiment on Lemmy is super pro LGBTQ+.

Hi everyone! For some reason, this instance weren't receiving updates for posts made on this community and !Games@lemmy.world, even though federation is working for posts made on e.g. !Silksong@indie-ver.se
Subscribing to both communities, and then going to the post on an alt account, made all the comments on the post show up. Very weird.
You have to have at least one user on your instance subscribe to a community before your instance starts getting updates.

Nutomic transphobia is included with the post showing his original comments claiming the trans topic is "a wedge issue" that is "promoted by the bourgeoisie", he did actually admit to saying them as shown here: https://lemmy.world/post/29222558

Right I remember. That whole drama is what got him banned from Hexbear.

Most of our visitors, already had a fedi-verse account, even those who found us via. reddit. So there haven't been that many applications.

I always tend to push back on people saying "oh, the Fediverse is so complicated", but small quirks like this make me go "well okay they have a small point".
I understand why lemmy-federate.com probably has to remain an opt-in service, but man would it be so much smoother if it was just automatic.
lemmy-federate is the wrong solution to this problem. It duplicates data on all instances, even those with no subscribers. it increases the load and the amount of storage requirements for small instances
What we need is a system where admins can set up a separate discovery service, and include that in search results. Mastodon is finally doing something in this direction, and Lemmy/PieFed/mbin would benefit a lot to adopt it.
