  • I would remove collapse. IMO it's not something that is relevant to the social media experience. People who are looking for a collapse style community can find it on their own.

    I think regional works fine as is. What I am referring to is probably outside of the scope of the discussion.

    Some music communities (it's a broad list but at least the ones I am listing are more or less active):

    Gaming (all more or less active):

    Some addition to technology (all more or less active):

    There is also !android@lemdro.id

  • You're welcome to post your icon variant for an erpg style.

    Keep in mind no one said it's going to be uploaded. 😆

  • IMO "Gaming" should be it's own top category. I can help with this one if needed.

    "Collapse" should probably be removed as a top level category. It's not relevant for top level.

    Not sure how "Regional" would function. Regional implies your local communities, but I am assuming it leads to multiple region specific communities irrespective of where you are.

    "Music" might be a simply top level category to add. I can help with this one if needed.

    Not sure what communities fall under Technology. I can provide a broader selection of choices if needed.

  • I reached out about this a few months ago. Admin mentioned it's on the TODO list, but I haven't seen any progress.

    Not be annoying, but if you start a federated forum, if you are bothered enough to pay for the domain/hosting, you might as well make sure federation actually works.

    Just my perspective, I could be wrong.

  • Thank you!

  • That's a fucking wild bill if you are not from the US. One would almost think you are being scammed (I am talking about the deceptive structure of the bill, not the values).

  • New posts works, but sometimes I can't see my own posts (new or otherwise) when accessing incremental.social with my LW account.

    Perhaps the admin should reach out to other instances admins to try and figure out how to resolve this.

  • Good initiative!

    I wish incremental.social would fix their federation issues; it's been unpredictable and janky for what seems like many months.

  • Best option is to not click on any content related to Musk with the exception of "need to be informed" type news reports. Even adjacent things like SpaceX etc.

  • I get the need for more generic communities getting bigger before we split out into niches (I say this as a curator for a niche community that could probably be merged into 2-3 others), but RTS and TBS are really very different experiences.

  • Cheers!

  • Posting to multiple Lemmy communities is not a big deal (you can always crosspost with a Lemmy account).

    Links are taken from Activitypub attachment, but Mastodon only seems to support image attachments. So it is not possible to add other types of links unless Mastodon adds an option for that.

    This IMO kills the whole Lemmy <> Mastodon integration outside of some very, very simple use cases. The ability to have differentiation between a heading and a URL is critical.

    It's too bad Mastodon doesn't seem to support the URL function of Activitypub.

    Mastodon is by far the biggest fedi micro-blogging platform. I recognize the irony of what I am saying considering I want people to move from Reddit to Lemmy, but for niche topics like tycoon/business sim video games, my point stands.

  • I get that. I would argue the use case I described is basically the bread and butter of Mastodon <> Lemmy integration (if you don't want your posts to look like shit on either Mastodon or Lemmy).

    The critical drawback for me is that you can't have hardcoded URLs/images/headings across both Mastodon and Lemmy posts.

    If you can't do that, you severely restrict the scope of integration between the two platforms. This is a net loss because the content I post on !tycoon@lemmy.world is arguably relevant for both forum style discussions and micro-blogging.

  • Ah, this is a critical drawback.

    I am basically back to square one:

    Mastodon image attachment/Lemmy thumbnail is mandatory from my perspective. Otherwise, I might as well leave the current situation as is. You want clean posts on both Lemmy and Mastodon,

  • Btw for their benefit, adding the context: post with feedback and questions on Lemmy-Mastodon interoperation.

    What does this refer to? A github thread on a feature?

  • Thank you!
