Board Game Arena would be my recommendation. Amazing platform that keeps adding games (typically a new game is added every Wednesday). You can play real-time or turn-based, I almost exclusively play turn-based these days since it allows me to check the website whenever I have a few minutes of free time and play through my turns.

It does vary from place to place but in North America at least, most often it's that it will rain in __% of the land area.

Additionally, I would add that knowing about statistics at least allows you to understand that without that additional info, any stat is essentially meaningless, or at least easily misleading.

It's literally the only user of that instance and the admins of that instance have stated it would remain that way.

Amazing!! Hopefully they're open to it, it would be great to have both lemmy.ca and matrix.ca available.

Shame that matrix.ca is already registered even though it points to nothing right now. I was thinking of volunteering to cover that cost (depending on renewal fee) if someone was willing to help out with spinning up a matrix server.

Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed explanation. It really clears up a lot of what I was confused about.

The community across the board on Lemmy has been so refreshing compared to the last few years on Reddit or any of the alternatives I'd tried before.

Appreciate the clarification! I've been trying to wrap my head around how the fediverse works but I'm far from a programmer so some parts are still a bit confusing to me.

Is it just a different approach to reach the same goal or is there some inherent limitation to how the fediverse works that prevents instances from using crawlers?

Same here. I understand the whole notion of how an instance is able to "see" communities on another instance on the fediverse. But I don't get what these kinds of website do differently to see all communities on all instances and why instances can't do that directly.

I think there's a decent chance it will. At the bare minimum, it already feels much better to me than voat ever did.

I also love the idea that we can have "bot instances" (as mentioned by OP) so an instance can decide if they want most bots or not. Not sure if communities themselves can exercise that kind of control but that would be amazing as well.

Add that to the rapidly growing lists of things that are improved on a decentralized platform!

And when we are troubleshooting, we'll be searching "crackpipe _____"... I can definitely think of a few scenarios where that'll return very different results than expected.

Completely agree, having a memorable name is important but that doesn't mean the name should be a joke.
