r/Silksong joins lemmy!
-
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.
Works fine in Voyager as well

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!
to the moderators, hope this post does not break advertising rules. feel free to remove it, if it does
Extending a warm welcome to you!
We need folks like you in here, and I believe you'll find great support. Good luck!
Also, don't forget to populate the community with a post or two to start things rolling!

Oh, I see now! Didn't load properly for me the first time, shown an empty community. Good job!

It just needed some time to sync to your instance xD

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 didn't know that this was de facto a client side feature (Lemmy WebUI, Piefed WebUI and my mobile client, Voyager, all support it).
That said, I strongly prefer Piefed style link re-direction; albeit it's a client side feature just like the relative markdown syntax.

I don't think having functional, active, somewhat niche communities is the antithesis of the Fediverse's purpose.
If we had 1M MAU, that would be different.
It's a common complaint for many people looking to switch off reddit that niche communities are lacking and that having multiple low engagement communities without any clear differentiation is confusing.
Multiple comms is a good thing, but you also need to make it easy for users to quickly understand what the difference between two communities is.
While I don't disagree with the sentiment, encouraging a large community driver like Silksong to create a community IS the way to grow niche communities, not the reverse.

facts also OP please get other indie game studio people to bring their communities in too. Growing Indie Game studios presence would help grow this place in near and long term for Lemmy/Piefed
It’s quite hard to do that as a lot of communities aren’t willing to put in the time of setting up a community on the fediverse. We tried to get a lot of indie game subreddits on board but so far it’s just silksong and balatro. Unless a bigger group of people on reddit ask for it then not much can happen
