People don’t dislike defederation because they misunderstand it. They dislike it because it’s a bad user experience. It sucks to effectively get banned from a bunch of major communities through no fault of your own. It’s a flawed system. I don’t know what a good solution would be, but it’s definitely an issue.
We need an actual official setup tutorial that is kept up to date. The existing documentation for the Docker setup process is extremely bare-bones, and it doesn’t even link to the right config files. There are some unofficial tutorials out there that are better, but they’re outdated and they link to the wrong config files too.
If big instances are already defederating from each other then I don’t see how Lemmy can grow like many of us want it to. I mean, now any new user who randomly chooses Lemmy.World as their server is going to get a much worse Lemmy experience and they won’t even be aware of it. (Come to think of it, maybe I’m getting a lesser experience right now because maybe my server defederated from another big server that I’m not aware of.) This seems like a flawed system, or at least it seems like a system that isn’t intended to have much user growth.
I don’t think there’s enough activity on Lemmy (yet) to justify specific communities like that. Gaming@beehaw is the only gaming community I see much traction in.
I think this is the kind of game you can’t really judge just by watching gameplay footage. I haven’t played an Armored Core game before, but I assume it’s going to be all about the gameplay loop of upgrading your mech so you can complete harder missions so you can upgrade your mech more. If the game is able to make that loop really addicting then I’m sure this game will be great.
It’s really not clear what exactly they canceled, since they never announced much to begin with. I think they just scrapped the talent trees?
The idea of charging for PvE missions sounds bad on the surface (especially given the attitude surrounding Overwatch 2 at the moment) but honestly I think this sounds totally fine. I mean it’s basically like a paid expansion, which is a rare thing nowadays in the age of live service games. Personally I like the idea of paying a finite amount of money for a finite amount of content. The only question is whether these three missions are actually fun and replayable enough to be worth $15.
I think Halo 5 is one of the best Halo games, in terms of both single player and multiplayer. Fight me
Metroid Prime 3 really lacks the atmosphere of the first two Prime games, so you’re probably going to be disappointed with that one. (Still a great game though IMO)
I never had an issue with the menus in MP2. Personally I think the weird floaty rotating interface is really cool and I like it. My main problem with MP2 is the ammo system, which makes the game a lot less enjoyable to me.
I would argue that Fortnite deserves the title of Halo Killer, because Fortnite popularized the F2P monetization model that all multiplayer shooters follow nowadays, which 343 failed horribly at implementing. If we still lived in a pre-Fortnite world where Halo Infinite didn’t have to follow the “F2P with a battle pass” approach, then it might not have failed so badly.
There’s probably a discord for it. Just search on reddit to find the best Starfield discord… oh wait
That only works if you’re subscribing from lemmy.world though.
Anyways I found out how to do it. You go to https://{INSERT LOCAL SERVER NAME HERE}/c/[email protected]
I’m supposed to paste that into the search box right? It’s not showing up for me.
Can you give me the link I should use to subscribe from another instance? The search feature is so confusing

Starfield players on day one: “This game is incredible and life-changing! I’m so glad I pre-ordered!”
Starfield players on day 2: “PSA to new players, be careful not to go into space or else your save will get corrupted!”
Is Cyberpunk worth playing on Series X these days? I know PC is the best way to play, but I’m not gonna be able to update my graphics card any time soon. I don’t know if I should wait until I’m able to upgrade, or just go ahead and play on console.
Glad to see there’s so many interesting games coming to Game Pass. The Capcom game especially looks cool. Starfield looks great. A little disappointed there weren’t any new hype-worthy game announcements though. But overall I’m feeling good about the future of Game Pass. (Even though most stuff they showed isn’t coming out until 2024.)
Hoping for an announcement of Psychonauts 3. Also it would be cool to see some kind of confirmation of Halo project Tatanka, although I think that’s unlikely.
Also I’m guessing there will probably be a surprise Game Pass shadow drop, so that will be cool.
Great insight. I agree that the fediverse will never be anywhere near as big as mainstream social media, but I’m hoping it will continue to grow and be recognized as a valid alternative.
Personally I think of the fediverse as like diet social media. Just like how people switch from Coke to Diet Coke to avoid sugar, people can switch from Twitter to Mastodon to avoid recommendation algorithms and overly-stimulating content. At least that’s why I joined the fediverse. I know most people love algorithms and endless content (hence why Tik Tok is so huge) but for those of us who want something less stimulating, I’m glad that the fediverse exists as an alternative. As long as the fediverse is big enough to be enjoyable, but not so big that it becomes super addictive, that’s good enough for me.
As someone who hasn’t worked on open source projects, can someone please explain what this means? I know what ActivityPub is and I know what Git pull requests are, but I don’t understand what they have to do with each other. Is the idea that this lets you view GitLab pull requests from outside of the GitLab website?
