Discovering the secret in the storm clouds up by Hateno. Realized you could kinda see the islands on the map through the storm cloud icon, so I used that to try to navigate is basically-whiteout visuals. Used the shrine radar and Tulin’s ability to blindly fly through and find the relevant island way before I was actually supposed to. Still haven’t even finished Zora’s Domain yet.

I mean… technically people did come and ask it anything. It just decided not to actually answer any of the questions that were asked.

Even the fourteen comments that were made didn’t actually answer any of the questions that were asked. And that’s if you consider copy/pasting pre-approved responses as actual answers in the first place.

It’s easier than I was expecting (using kbin, at least), but still growing pains. I assume that there just aren’t communities set up for some of the game-specific subreddits I was on (Zelda, Genshin, Star Rail, etc.) but I don’t know that I’d really expect there to be yet.

I also noticed that some people have profile pictures/avatars and I can’t figure out how to set that. I assume it’s because I just made my account today though that I’m not able to yet.

Because capitalism. Everything is set up on the literally-impossible goal of continuous, unending growth. Lots of shitty decisions get made on the assumption that you can always be continuing upward, even when you literally can’t anymore. Have one quarter where things dip a bit and it could be the end of you as the investors jump ship over it.

So like, there’s nothing preventing someone from taking a username from a different instance that’s the same as yours and posting as if they were you, then? Obviously they wouldn’t have the same instance name at the end, but you could theoretically have any number of people using the same name posting and interacting in the same post but using the name from different instances then?

I feel like /r/videos only being cat videos would still make it a worthwhile sub. Make it so that any videos shared that are above 240p are against the rules and subject to be automatically deleted.

Agree with the general consensus saying no to default communities. Maybe a “recommended” list that it displays for you while you’re still new (like… maybe until you have 5-8 communities subscribed to) but I don’t think you should be forced into certain ones at the start.

This feels so weird to me. Pikmin 4 has been my silly “haha what if they finally announced/released it” game for a while now, and the fact that it’s almost actually out makes me wonder what game I should joke about existing next.

It’s a third party Reddit app for Android. One of the many that are getting killed off by the API changes. A lot of people liked it because it has a much better UI than the official Reddit app and I’m sure plenty of people will love getting to bring the same experience over to Lemmy now.

I’m admittedly jealous. I’d love if Apollo pivoted to Lemmy as well but I don’t blame Christian at all for taking a step away from things after becoming the face of the 3PA developers in this entire debacle. Hopefully at least one of the several iOS Lemmy apps currently in-development can provide something familiar.

They’ll just restore it if you nuke it. Better to make the sub NSFW so they can’t make ad revenue off of it and set it so that all posts must be mod-approved, then only approve like one post every month so you can show as still being active.
