r/Silksong joins lemmy! (And a new lemmy instance)
-
The should get a piefed community so they don't have to support and promote anti-trans, pro-war, and pro-genocide lemmy developers.
Using someone's open-source software doesn't mean you support them (unless you donate or something)

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!
Link for those wanting to subscribe from other instances: !Silksong@indie-ver.se

Heck yeah!
I'm gonna make a couple celebratory posts on !gameart@sopuli.xyz.
Also, a tip on quickly getting up to speed with federation, is to get your instance and communities set up on lemmy-federate.com.
Since content only shows up for users on instances with subscribers, the idea is to use a bot account on each participating instance to have that one required subscriber, so that posts from new communities actually show up on other instances, rather than just the originating one.
It basically allows you to kick-start federation, actually allowing users to organically discover your instance and communities.
edit: There is an active Balatro community at !balatro@piefed.social.
Great advice! Lemmy-federate.com is a huge help for smaller instances!

I really wish the relentless silksong PR would stop. We get it, you made an indie game, we know, stop constantly advertising it everywhere already.
We are not a pr team? We are not advertising the game? We are launching a new instance for indie game communities.

Thank you! Didn't know frontends supported this.

Oh my god. Silksanity is now spreading to lemmy.
/SWhat? Nah, we da' sanest people around.

I am trying to do lemmy-federate but that requires a guarantee fediseer, so it might take a while... We already have over 100 subscribers from many different instances, so I don't think bot account will be necessary.

they recommend people to donate to lemmy devs in the reddit post, though.
I am not blaming them, they probably didn't know it, but it's worth mentioning.

We really need a comm for commentors who aren't lost but just plain clueless. Something like 'c/rtfa'

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.

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.

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...

It's not just getting your communities seen.
Content from other instances for you and your users won't show up in the all feed unless someone on your instance (or a bot) subs to the relevant communities.
Only off-instance communities with at least one local subscriber will federate.
You also wont immediately see new instances and their communities, and they won't see you.

thanks! also, I think as things are now, it's fine to keep using lemmy for your server. but keep in mind that in the future they could implement features that are not for the benefit of your community. anything can be reverted with some custom development, but you may not want that.
there are some lemmy instances that are planning a switch to piefed, with a database migration so that existing content and users are kept. the one I use is among them.
updates to lemmy can make such a migration harder in the future, even unintentionally. -

I just guaranteed you on fediseer, so you should be good now.

I SAW! Thank you so much. For some reason lemmy-federate.com doesn't recognize it yet, but I see it on gui.fediseer.com. Thank you!

Thank you! Didn't know frontends supported this.
The format of exclamation point in front like !community_name@instance.tld is the standardized instance-agnostic link format around here! It will let anyone open the community in their own home instance.

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.

Congrats, hopefully this is the start of a cascade of other subs testing the water here.
