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
Welcome on this side of the web. I hope you’ll find it cozy, and full of new encounters.
I’ll add your sub to the sidebar asap.
Edit : Done
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
This is a perfect partnership! Federated social medias and indie games. It’s the small guys getting together!
Welcome!
Ba Ri Du Na Si Ma Net!..
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!
Pika
I think the community already has had a great start. Thank you for your support!
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
Welcome aboard
Nice! GL and may you get good.
Oof, on Boost those links aren’t parsed correctly.
This is cool
And your first link ever is to Reddit…
Yea, that is to the post announcing we created this community. In hindsight, not the best decision.
It’s good to know when Reddit moderators see the light and help transition their communities over before Reddit interferes. !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com is another example of that.
Love this. One of the things I still go to Reddit for is the Slay the Spire sub
That’s awesome news!
Great! Now we need a Hades I/II community!
You are free to make one!
Fair point 😅
Thank you!
Welcome!
Awesome, that’s exciting news!
(A good way to link to communities is like this: !Silksong@indie-ver.se - that way I can click and subscribe while staying logged in.)
Thank you! I didn’t know frontends supported this.
Might be a Boost bug, but the link doesn’t include anything past the hyphen.
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.
Interesting, seems like a bug in the client.
I imagine so. I don’t use Boost, but I posted about the behavior to the Boost community, so hopefully they’ll get it straightened out.
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
Similarly, Jerboa tries to make @indie-ver.se in the post body into a link to a user profile and also stops at the hyphen.
