Nah, nearly 90% of mobile users interact with Reddit via the official app (most people use Reddit on mobile devices).

It has graphics and even mouse controls—a whole new game.
The last post is Thelain saying that the forums aren’t very accessible for them and asking if Discord is an option, so I imagine they moved the conversation there.
They can also get that data without doing anything because any data they’d get from federating is already public.
Short answer is “no.”
Slightly longer answer is: “all of your public posts on Lemmy or Mastodon or any other federated platform are the Public web. So no, it’s not different.”
It reads like a whole new game to me, in the best of ways. It’s the first new content that feels like it’s taking into account current design sensibilities while still retaining the core values of OSRS.
Definitely agree that the community is far too small and content too limited at the moment to justify maintaining two separate communities.
Seeing as the vast, vast majority of mobile users are using the official app, it really doesn’t suck that much for them. I wish it wasn’t the case, but it is.
This is equivalent to literally making the game from scratch and changing some art assets is no where near as complex and time-consuming as that would be.
