r/Silksong joins lemmy!

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. -
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!

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

Thank you!

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.
Changing the domain of a lemmy instance is quite hard. (Already did it once during testing). And I don't think indie-ver.se is that hard to spell. Anyways, I am not asking the 100+ users who subscribed to change it, but I do see your point.

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.)
Thank you! I didn't know frontends supported this.

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.
Welcome, friends! As a recent convert myself I’m so happy to see more community joining the fediverse
I get what you mean, the goal was actually to do the opposite. Try to get all indie game related subs together, but in this regard everything is a trade of.

Off topic but when I first joined Lemmy I was on booty.world, I still can't believe that instance shut down!

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.
Posting on r/Silksong helps a lot. We've been in contact with many moderators all across Reddit, trying to get them to join us, but that is still developing.

Ya, I know. But a few months/years, it is going to be even harder.

Yea, that is to the post announcing we created this community. In hindsight, not the best decision.

For sure.
Just pointing out genres with existing, somewhat active communities. There are many genres with a prominent presence of indie games and AA games (platformers, action games, MMOs) that are not really covered outside of general comms like this one.
It might be best to focus on those areas.
The local parlance for subs is comm/comms, from the word community.

Oof, on Boost those links aren't parsed correctly.

Love this. One of the things I still go to Reddit for is the Slay the Spire sub

It's good to know when Reddit moderators see the light and help transition their communities over before Reddit interferes. !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com is another example of that.
