r/Silksong joins lemmy!
-
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!

Awesome, that's exciting news!
(A good way to link to communities is like this: !Silksong@indie-ver.se - that way I can click and subscribe while staying logged in.)

I mean... You guys should really start caring about domain names.. That domain name is both hard to type and hard to spell.. Domain names are important people.
Since it is still in its infancy, I would suggest buying a proper name. Might seem harsh, but ya.
I disagree, it's a fitting name, and I don't have to type it unless I want to link to it.

Might be a Boost bug, but the link doesn't include anything past the hyphen.

Damn, TIL

Interesting, seems like a bug in the client.

I think indie-ver.se isn't hard to type or hard to spell. Proof me wrong.

I love the idea.
I hope you'll reconsider the domain name, though. Dashes make them harder to type, harder to remember (was there a dash? an underscore? nothing?), harder to read aloud to someone else, and (in some user interfaces) impossible to select with a double click. A domain name containing a dash isn't unusable, of course, but is a perpetual source of friction and mild annoyance that could have been avoided.

Similarly, Jerboa tries to make @indie-ver.se in the post body into a link to a user profile and also stops at the hyphen.

Welcome!
A good existing indie game community:
!bside@fedia.io
Some genre/theme specific communities that focus mostly on indie games:
- !tycoon@lemmy.world
- !citybuilders@sh.itjust.works
- !strategy_games@piefed.world
- !horror_games@piefed.world
- !space_games@piefed.world
Considering how small the Threadiverse is, it's best to not duplicate comms.
Feel free to reach out in DMs if anything.

Must be an app bug, but a very unfortunate one as multiple apps seem to be affected. Link works fine for me in Summit, though.

I mean, I agree with you in principle - domain names can matter. I remember people were similarly concerned about lemmy.zip back when it launched since .zip links on the internet can be... not so great.
In this case though I don't see it, I think indie-ver.se is a great name and super fitting.

This is what I love to see niche instances that specialise in an area rather than trying to be another generalist / reddit. At this stage you’ll prob need to fight discoverability issues. Cheering for ya.

Welcome, friends! As a recent convert myself I'm so happy to see more community joining the fediverse

I imagine so. I don't use Boost, but I posted about the behavior to the Boost community, so hopefully they'll get it straightened out.

Might be a Boost bug, but the link doesn't include anything past the hyphen.
It's not a bug, it's an unimplemented feature. The
!community@instancesyntax is not part of any Markdown flavour, so every client has to implement it independently, and it's possible that it collides with some other kind of token (e.g. with the@usertag). -
I disagree, it's a fitting name, and I don't have to type it unless I want to link to it.
Plus, I mean, unless you're using a Threadiverse host as your home instance, how often are you typing its name?
Having a hyphen is RFC-conformant:
1. A "name" (Net, Host, Gateway, or Domain name) is a text string up to 24 characters drawn from the alphabet (A-Z), digits (0-9), minus sign (-), and period (.). Note that periods are only allowed when they serve to delimit components of "domain style names". (See RFC-921, "Domain Name System Implementation Schedule", for background). No blank or space characters are permitted as part of a name. No distinction is made between upper and lower case. The first character must be an alpha character. The last character must not be a minus sign or period. A host which serves as a GATEWAY should have "-GATEWAY" or "-GW" as part of its name. Hosts which do not serve as Internet gateways should not use "-GATEWAY" and "-GW" as part of their names. A host which is a TAC should have "-TAC" as the last part of its host name, if it is a DoD host. Single character names or nicknames are not allowed.The syntax of a legal Internet host name was specified in RFC-952 [DNS:4]. One aspect of host name syntax is hereby changed: the restriction on the first character is relaxed to allow either a letter or a digit. Host software MUST support this more liberal syntax. Host software MUST handle host names of up to 63 characters and SHOULD handle host names of up to 255 characters. -

This is a perfect partnership! Federated social medias and indie games. It's the small guys getting together!
