Welcome, friends! As a recent convert myself I’m so happy to see more community joining the fediverse
I get what you mean, the goal was actually to do the opposite. Try to get all indie game related subs together, but in this regard everything is a trade of.
Just pointing out genres with existing, somewhat active communities. There are many genres with a prominent presence of indie games and AA games (platformers, action games, MMOs) that are not really covered outside of general comms like this one.
It might be best to focus on those areas.
The local parlance for subs is comm/comms, from the word community.
At first I nodded my head to this since it adds user volume in one place, but this is the Fediverse, where no one set of mods or communities gets to “own” anything.
People can subscribe to both, so to me, the “best to not duplicate” is the antithesis of the Fediverse’s purpose.
I don’t think having functional, active, somewhat niche communities is the antithesis of the Fediverse’s purpose.
If we had 1M MAU, that would be different.
It’s a common complaint for many people looking to switch off reddit that niche communities are lacking and that having multiple low engagement communities without any clear differentiation is confusing.
Multiple comms is a good thing, but you also need to make it easy for users to quickly understand what the difference between two communities is.
While I don’t disagree with the sentiment, encouraging a large community driver like Silksong to create a community IS the way to grow niche communities, not the reverse.
It’s not a bug, it’s an unimplemented feature. The !community@instance syntax is not part of any Markdown flavour, so every client has to implement it independently, and it’s possible that it collides with some other kind of token (e.g. with the @user tag).
This game was my SHIT back in high school. One of our computer classes had the coolest teacher who would let all 12 of us play LAN multiplayer for the last half hour of class.
I remember figuring out how to mod Halo, and did some absolutely silly stuff with it, like making a sniper rifle that would immediately put a sticky grenade on wherever you clicked lol.
facts also OP please get other indie game studio people to bring their communities in too. Growing Indie Game studios presence would help grow this place in near and long term for Lemmy/Piefed
This is called compute dispatching and is super common. I have done a whole bunch of DSP implementations where you use a CUDA or AVX kernel depending on availability. Or you dispatch to standard library or even Python kernel otherwise.
