Yeah, it’s nothing about communities. Technically speaking, only the amount of direct HTTP requests matters. If nobody opens your domain, your instance is just spending your money for nothing.

If you know how and want to do it. Unfortunately, it isn’t the way how most people think.

As I said, there is no profit from empty instances. Of course, the federation itself is good and fail-proof in this way. But if nobody asks for this cache, it’s just an Internet Archive of a sort.

Yes, you are right. If this instance has members. A server will actively fetch “foreign” content and cache when this instance’s user asks. But aside of top 10 servers, there is no profit of having more until they have a couple of dozens of users. If any server would have been able to “delegate” request handling to less busy servers, it will be a solution for this uneven load.

Please elaborate, how is “every instance is sharing in the traffic to browse the fediverse”. I didn’t find it nor in AP standards, nor in activitypub_federation lib docs. If there is some mechanisms of balancing inside the lemmy’s code, would you mind pointing it for me?

Yeah, this is exactly my point. But I suppose a lot of people think that starting new instance is enough. But, unfortunately, it isn’t.

Yeah. 3rd had more various and visually pleasing locations. I really want domething like jungles or the heaven. Didn’t spoiled it to myself, maybe they are latter in game. But I doubt.

I’m around 40lvl, just started Act 3. It’s a diablo, as I wanted to see it. It lacks some qol features. And sometimes its a bit tedious (maybe it’s just about me getting older). I played barb and necro on beta. Now my main is rogue and it’s not an easy point’n’click. I want more skill buttons (at least 5th for ultimate), but it’s interesting to test different builds. So, I’m totally happy with this diablo. Imo, it’s better than diablo 3 in many aspects. But a little boring visually.
