The r/Warframe subreddit will be reopening in a restricted form on June 21st, when the 7 Crimes of Kullervo update releases.
While dormi.zone was initially created as an alternative platform for r/Warframe on Reddit during its blackout, since then we have gained subscribers from all across the fediverse who have been yearning for a place to discuss Digital Extremes’ flagship game. Thank you for joining and helping this community grow!
We recognize that there needs to be a space to discuss the fate of r/Warframe, but we’re also noticing a rising amount of duplicate posts about this topic, aggravating users who are here to discuss Warframe the videogame and may have even found their way here through means other than our blackout.
To keep these posts from overwhelming the frontpage of this community without denying them the visibility they should have, we will be funneling all discussion about the r/Warframe subreddit in this pinned megathread.
Once r/Warframe reopens, meta discussion about r/Warframe will return to Reddit.
it makes me sad to see all the angry people here condemning the closure of the sub
if companies had their way we’d all be zombies dancing to their songs
this is just a small inconvenience to remind everyone how reddit can go to shit in the near future
I see lots of posts here saying the blackout is bad. I just wanted to say that I like the blackout. Thanks.
I agree. Got a good excuse to try something new and turns out it does some things in a way I like better than what I was already using. Still need to figure out a few things but this is nice.
I’m personally happy that dormi.zone exists and I hope it grows into it’s own little part of the community overtime, maybe distancing itself from reddit’s formatting a bit to be ‘more than JUST the reddit alternative’. I’ll probably even check in to get bullied about my out-of-date username every once in awhile. Still, it’ll never be what the subreddit is, and I don’t think it should try to be.
Honestly, I was kind-of hoping that any reopening of the sub would be for knowledge categorization and collection to be brought here.
We aren’t closing the lemmy instance, once we open it, feel free to take guides to archive them here. Reddit shouldn’t be the only repository of collected information by the fans. Historically, game information was spread out and exchanged throughout different forums so that the information constantly exists for fandoms with the most dedicated of users; a lot of our information we can’t exactly store on the wiki, as they have are different ways to obtaining content as well as research and discussion to support why certain metas are the way they are.
An unfortunate decision, but ultimately a rather understandable one. I have some mild complaints about Lemmy, primarily those related to how…incredibly alpha it feels on all the iOS browsers I’ve tried. Even despite that, given the whole reason for the blackout to begin with, I would’ve been more than happy to stay on here long term. “Well why don’t you do just that, even if the sub reopens?” probably because the already incredibly small community (even including non-posting lurkers) here will all just pack up and leave back to reddit making this a total ghost town. Unfortunate, but thems the facts. Though perhaps I’m just trying to rationalize being a hypocrite. Dormi.Zone’s a super cute name, too.
Wonder who’ll be the first to post primed Wisp Ass and get all those sick reddit updoots.
I’ve said this elsewhere but I like the smaller and overall more positive community here, I don’t even miss r/warframe and have no plans to go back unless this one dies completely. We dont need millions of active users to have a nice space here, and it’s only a matter of time before reddit shits the bed again and people wish they had an alternative.
edit: about the browsing experience: I’m on kbin so the layout on dormi.zone is different for me. I have to say it feels very sleek and professional and with some user enhancement scripts I also have collapsing comment threads, domains next to all usernames and similar improvements.
Will it explicitly and repeatedly mention communication carries on over here? Because most people just do not know
