I haven’t played all these but they look cool, maybe worth checking out: Pumpkin Jack, Spark the Electric Jester 3, and Sonic Robo Blast 2 (it’s free, not on Steam)

I really liked the first episode. The way it showed everything after the time skip was just great. My parents finally started watching the show and are already starting season 5 lol, they’re loving it.

I get like 10 viewers on a good day lol, but it’s more fun than playing offline

It depends what format you want. If you want microblogging (Twitter-like) then check out Mastodon or similar

Lemmy is great, PieFed is similarly great

I think Bazzite suggests using Emudeck, should also work in SteamOS

I think Batocera uses EmulationStation, which is what Emudeck installs?

So last year was 15%? That’s 1 percentage point, but you could also say it’s down 6.7%, although we don’t have precise numbers to work with

maybe it needs to use AI to determine if it’s a good fit for the community lol

What an amazing domain name for this

It’s still open source, anyone can fork it

I loved the way the first episode caught us up after the time skip, really good “show, don’t tell”

October

they’re back up now

Yeah but it’s a lot of users to lose, many people will be too lazy to join another instance

Losing the communities would have an interesting effect though

I guess people leave Reddit for all different reasons, or mostly it’s about new users starting with Facebook groups instead of Reddit

IDK, I feel like I usually get more replies here than on Reddit

This is an interesting idea, or maybe we just need people to be more willing to comment in old posts. Reddit is actively hostile to old posts, but they should work fine in Lemmy/PieFed since we have sort options like Active and New Comments. On old forums people used to continue talking in old posts forever, we could do that here no problem, the software supports it.

Comments might actually be the most valuable thing right now, even moreso than posts

People may be cutting back on Reddit, but they do not seem to be bringing those discussions here. Perhaps people are discoursing more IRL rather than social media.

Or Facebook, Facebook groups are massively popular

The hierarchy of moderation we have here is an underrated feature

I think this could also be improved with a better search page, which shows how active the communities are in the search results so you don’t have to click through them all, I think v1.0 is getting that
