I guess custom campaign stuff keeps NWN going? How's the game out of the box? I don't really hear about that one compared to other Bioware games. Additionally, how's the enhanced edition? And has anyone modded in decent controller support?
EE has unlocked a ton of stuff for modders & module developers. Beamdog has basically turned over development of the PC version to the community & it's been busy unhardcoding & adding new functionality, the biggest & most obvious change being recently providing an update for custom shaders & having 8 class slots instead of just 3.
I see you've included gacha titles as well. There's a small Girls' Frontline community - it's mostly me posting posting news at the moment so it could definitely use a spotlight.
Added. Not a fan of gacha titles myself whatsoever, but gacha titles are still games and this is a list to help others. Have you tried posting in various “new community” magazines like https://lemmy.world/c/newcommunities?
This is rather frustrating for me. I was corrected on a different post when I used @community@instance and told to use !community@instance. Now I'm being told I got it wrong again. Not angry at you, just angry that I got it wrong twice.
I was told to use !community@instance because it would leave people able to browse and subscribe to the community through their own instance instead of being kicked to a different URL (e.g. !community@instance lets you browse and subscribe from @instance, while @magazine kicks you to the instance.com website), so that's what I'm using here. I am currently under the impression that viewing from your own instance also means you won't see any content unless someone on your instance has subscribed to that community before, as an intentional part of how the Fediverse works; while going to the instance.com website directly will show you everything. That's probably why my links send kbin users to a search result: because on kbin, from the search result you can click and look at the instance or subscribe without ever leaving your own instance.
When you say the correct way to link a magazine is @community@instance for kbin, do you mean I should do it that way for links that point to a kbin instance, or is that how I have to format links to any instance at all (whether lemmy or kbin or even something else like Mastodon) for it to work properly for kbin users? Or is this just about wishing that I sent you to the instance's website with all the content instead of somewhere you can view through your own instance? If it's the latter, I'm really not sure what the etiquette is for what I'm supposed to send you to: your own instance or the source instance, seeing as I am getting corrected about this here to use @community@instance for you but was previously told to use !community@instance.
Once people stop commenting with new communities I can comment the list with links formatted as @community@instance.
Kbin does odd things with links and communities, so I think part of the problem is it has mangled or added some unexpected links when you’ve written the post. However, some of your links in the original post work for me on Lemmy (!freegames is fine), so you might want to compare them.
I’m not sure why Lemmy uses an exclamation mark for communities when everywhere else uses an @. It would be a lot easier if it used @ then it’s universal for Kbin, Mastodon, Lemmy.
The new communities group suggests to use the format I’ve used in my previous posts (basically /c/community@instance) - this won’t work on Kbin because it uses /m/. It’s better to use @ there as you said.
I think Lemmy uses ! for instances because @ is used for users - e.g. I expect that @floppy will automatically link to your profile on your instance (and link to your profile on any other viewer’s instance - e.g. for me it should link to an aussie.zone URL).
It’s probably a design decision to differentiate communities from users.
I think you’re right and it’s frontend-specific - I’m using Alexandrite and it shows perfectly, but I just checked the default Lemmy UI and it doesn’t handle it properly either.
Consider this reply a test. Supposedly /u/Paradoxvoid@aussie.zone should work, and @Paradoxvoid should also offer autocomplete, but Voyager at least doesn’t seem to offer it.
Yeah, your first link shows up as a search on kbin.cafe's instance for me, it doesn't even look like a community link. It's a fully typed out url. Your second link connects me to the magazine community on my own instance.
Since you’re posting to a lemmy instance (beehaw), you should probably use the lemmy style - i.e. !community - I don’t think there’s any need to create an explicit link since I think most UIs will format it for you.
I was told to use !community@instance… so that's what I'm using here
This is also what constantly pops up in Lemmy sidebars.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !communityName@instanceName
Unless you mean that the Lemmy style is just !community, you don’t type @instanceName after it. Did you mean that?
I was under the impression the way I typed the links would work for everyone. I suppose I was taught incorrectly and I’m extremely frustrated by it. I don’t want to be the village idiot trying to help only to require everyone fix their mistakes for them but it seems that’s what I am right now.
I just want to say, I don’t think you’re the village idiot. The fediverse is honestly pretty confusing right now and I would have expected what you used to work too.
This list is so comprehensive, I’ve been looking at it for quite a while and found lots of communities I hadn’t seen before. Thanks for posting it!
Added. By the way, the way to make that a clickable link is !battlebitremastered@lemm.ee, just like what the sidebar of your home instance says. In general, follow the pattern !communityName@instanceName.
