Yeah, the biggest problem with this approach is different moderation philosophies. You would have to set up a vetted set of approved non-problematic instances. I've read several accounts of people who tried out fedi and left soon after, and nothing sours the newcomer experience more than unknowingly joining an instance with a toxic community/moderators
My perspective as someone who is mainly active in the anime/gaming fandom and gamedev space:
- Easier onboarding overall since you don't have to bother with choosing an instance and all that
- despite starting out with less features than mastodon (no gifs, they are only getting video in the next update wth), the UI is overall more user-friendly and similar to Twitter's
- Customizable feeds you can easily subscribe to in-app so you instantly have some content on your timeline (+ it's easy to be found in these feeds without having to research the specific tags to use)
- Discoverability (through features and community efforts) is so much better. As someone who mainly follows artists, the last few days my TL was full of people doing artshares via quote-repost chains or sharing "starter packs" with lists of people to follow
- I have seen exactly one artshare post on mastodon so far (the japanese side seems to have it figured out a bit better, though. I regularly see tag-based artshares going around)
- meanwhile, to achieve a similar experience on mastodon I had to manually build myself different feeds in phanpy in which I'm following ~30 tags I have painfully collected to find the posts I'm interested in
- quote-retweets don't exist yet but I kind of see the benefit now
- the stackable moderation also helps a lot
Overall, I think the main problems on Mastodon's side are difficult onboarding and lack of actual community-building efforts. Also, the community just seems to be less welcoming for creators in general imo
she's adorable!
I need the next episode right now aaaaah
Loved this episode! It was so heartwarming to see how the conflict between abiko and GOA was resolved, but then they dumped us right into ice water with aquas ptsd induced panic attack :,)
[email protected] already has 21 subscribers after just one day🎉 I'm currently planning what kind of posts I could create for it to keep it active while the community is still forming. Once it has a few more posts, I will start promoting it in vn-developer discords as well. The people on there are still a bit unsure about the fediverse in general though.
In the long run, I'd like to create more Lemmy alternatives for existing gamedev/vndev-related subreddits that are still missing on here, but I think I'll take it slow for now
You can solo all of the main story quest except for 8-player boss battles and one required 24-player alliance raid series.
he needs to be shared with the masses 😌
opening that site gave me 10 points psychic damage
100% gonna watch:
Gonna give it a try for a few episodes:
I don't know about Re:zero to be honest, I was kind of disappointed with where the plot was going in the second season, and it feels like the stakes aren't really that high anymore :/
