Have you tried Deus Ex Randomizer? We have an unusually high number of Steam Deck players

https://mods4ever.com/project/DXRando

After that play the prequel, Before the Storm

if an instance has no users and only communities, then it's less likely to be defederated by anyone, and easier to manage

I do the same thing (also because I don't want to pay for tons of storage space lol) https://lemmy.mods4ever.com/communities

at that point why even say "the Reddit alternative called Lemmy"

you could say "the Reddit alternative called Voyager"

Proxying is a separate option from caching. I think it was added in 0.19.5

It's way easier to notice and defed when you can see these fake usernames

You can set a Lemmy server to proxy image requests

It'll be interesting to see how it plays out, if instances with downvoting disabled become popular

Personally I think downvoting is important, it's like micro-moderation, in a democratic fashion. Sure it doesn't always work out well, but it can be good for keeping spam and malicious posts at the bottom.

I used to have this clipart program lol

Could someone remind me what it's called?

maybe you could say "powered by Lemmy"? "part of the Lemmy network"?

as far as identity, I think for lemmy.world it's the same answer as Reddit's identity? which is a good thing, there's a bunch of instances that are slight variations on that identity and that's cool

I don’t think Lemmy has it (there is an open issue for invitation links that I don’t believe anyone has worked on).

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1777

but admins can do it in the signup application questionnaire and just keep track with a spreadsheet

Do Lemmy, Mastodon and the other big fediverse projects already support invite-based registration using codes?

you could just put the invite code into the signup application questionnaire, a server admin can make it say "Invite code here:"

the admins could keep a spreadsheet of the invite codes like in Google Sheets, keep track of who was given the invite code and who received it

For an invite-only Fediverse server to be especially attractive, it needs to have some reason why access to that server specifically is more desirable than going to any of the tens (hundreds?) of alternative servers that offer literally exactly the same thing. Unless they start adding features the others can’t provide (which is close to impossible in an open-source project), what’s the benefit?

Most people don't even know about Lemmy or the Fediverse lol, you basically trick them into thinking it's something exclusive and then they join, that's a success

I think when you give the invite don't say "Lemmy" just say the name of the server

Nobody is going to wait for an invite when they can just join any server.

well if they look hard enough to realize this then that's a good thing, so I think it works out

SA1 is still my favorite in the series

You hacked a government system from your home connection?

It's universally stupid, man! https://youtu.be/ADfL9g3X-DA

I guess Sonic Adventure 1 has a little bit of this, with the hub worlds. New abilities can allow you to reach new places in the hub worlds

I think that was more because of Hexbear going down?

The only thing is the community search that is a bit cumbersome, but this is due to federation, and understood.

This would help https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2951
