Cool, I hope this gets mass adopted, so that I can replace my RSS reader with my Mastodon account.

Ouch

Fair point, although !baldurs_gate_3@lemmy.world seems to go fairly well, but the fact that it’s a recent game is probably helping.

Will do!

For some reason I did not find this community before. I will try to contribute there. Thank you!

Amongst others I’m currently playing Baldur’s Gate 3 in coop mode.

I absolutely love it (I’m also a huge fan of Dragon Age Origins, so no surprise here).

I just wish cut scenes wouldn’t just start playing as soon as one of the players walks into them. Especially since the game is so dense with content (we are still relatively at the beginning though, maybe that changes later on).

I know with most dialogs everybody has the option to listen, but often you’re still going to miss the beginning of the conversation. A “wait for other players” button or something like that would be great.

How do other people handle this?

If you sort by “active” there should be posts with more comments. The “hot” sorting is not really representative for how active users on lemmy are, since it favours younger posts over older posts with lots of comments. You can read the details of the reasoning here .

Thanks for making me aware of c/worldbuilding! It’s nice to see more niche communities growing.

I never really understood it myself. But from what I’ve heard from people who are (or rather were) regular Twitter users, they like to follow celebrities or specific journalists (people who have actual interesting things to say). Those people are often not on Mastodon, though.

I think you make a great point. It’s easier to make an echo chamber in Mastodon/Twitter, since you mostly encounter people you already know (or are connected to via someone you know).

Not that echo chambers are impossible on platforms like Lemmy or Reddit, but I feel like the format of Twitter/Mastodon especially encourages it.

Thanks for the clarification! I’d like to add that this site long predates the whole crypto currency craze. I can see how nowadays the name “cryptopals” does not evoke the best associations.

I’m my opinion, the “basics” set is relatively tame. After that, the headaches might begin, especially if one wants to understand all the math behind it.

Does anybody know what happens to posts/comments belonging to the deleted account?

I used Jabber + Pidgin + OTR plugin for quite a while, also hosted my own Prosody server. But I never perceived it as a mainstream thing. Most people I knew used ICQ.

I wonder how deletion of user data is supposed to work in that regard. Since everything is synced to all federated instances, I guess one would have to file a request for deletion with every instance separately (?)

I have separate accounts for Lemmy and Pixelfed/Mastodon. Their content is so different, that it’s hard to find a unified way of interacting with it (following accounts vs. subscribing to and interacting within communities).

If you still prefer to combine both, you could make an account on kbin.social. With that you can follow both Mastodon and Lemmy content and get a “unified” UI. I cannot say how well it works though, since I haven’t tried it myself.

I have the same issue. Deleting app data and cache stopped the crash at the start, but I cannot log into my account. It seems the reason for the crash was that the lemmy instance I’m on (and that I was still logged into) uses version 17.x, when Jerboa requires 18.x.
