Hello fellow travelers! I wasn’t even aware Lemmy was a thing until the most recent Reddit shenanigans. I was a big lurker on Reddit, but I’m completely down with this whole Lemmy/federated server thing so I want to help make this new situation home as much as I can.
To that end, I was wondering if there were any plans to start a glyph exchange community here in “federated space” (sorry, couldn’t help myself). I’ve been sitting on a decent number of interceptor finds waiting for some kind of push to get me to start posting them. I believe this is my push. Will there be a separate community for exchanging glyphs or will this be that community?
I have glyphs for all of the interceptors in my pic, but those are just the ones I decided to keep. I’ll respond with glyphs if there are any requests… except the far left purple/yellow, that’s my little secret :D
Anyway, I’m really excited to start giving back to the community that has given me so much. Thanks and safe travels!

This community is pretty small currently, so I think posting glyphs here is better than starting a new community specifically for it. If this one takes off it might be worth revisiting later on.

As far as I can tell (and I just got here so I might be wrong), Lemmy doesn’t have community-specific flairs like reddit does for subreddits. Considering that I think it can all just go on one community, since people would just rely on the search function anyway to browse the category they want.
But if someone does start a separate one I’d be happy to support it, and I’ll mention it to the Glyph Exchange people from reddit.
One thing I always hated about reddit was how insanely compartmentalized a given interest was into different subs. Post cute hamster pic? Sorry, this is the sub for brown Russian dwarf hamsters, you should have known that, six day ban! I personally would love it if there was one place for all things No Man’s Sky, yes it means searching for the relevant posts, and yes it means super old threads will be resurrected periodically, but it also means I can go to one place and just scroll and scroll ‘till I find something neat. So yeah, I vote for one hub to rule them all!
I’m entirely for that. If Lemmy keeps growing (which it’s doing very well so far imo), it’s possible that civilizations like the Galactic Hub would be posting too much and might overwhelm people here who aren’t involved, requiring a separate group. But for now, and for the foreseeable future, that’s not needed. And outside of civs, I totally agree that I’d rather have everything - NMS_Zoology, NMS_Bases, NoMansHigh, Glyph Exchange, and the 3 different general NMS subs lol - all in one spot forever.
So as much as I love the NMSGlyphExchange sub format, and want to get it recreated here, don’t sleep on https://nmsce.com/ for your ship-searching needs!
I heard back from the Glyph Exchange mods and starting up another community is a bit too much for them. So if we want to start our own on Lemmy, it’ll be up to a new team! I personally don’t have the time to dedicate to running one, but if it’s well-moderated and has rules which make sense, I’m happy to promote it in this group.
