r/Silksong joins lemmy! (And a new lemmy instance)

Submitted ⁨⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨ssnoer@indie-ver.se⁩ to ⁨fediverse@lemmy.world⁩

For the past couple of weeks, some of us moderators of the subreddit r/Silksong, have been working on an exciting project. We’ve created a lemmy instance for fans of indie games. We officially run and support this instance and the Silksong community on it. Please check it out at indie-ver.se/c/Silksong

I invite you, current users of the Fedi-verse, to join us at @indie-ver.se, subscribe and interact with the communities there, as they grow. So we can support both a more free internet, and indie game communities. See you soon!

Heck yeah!

I’m gonna make a couple celebratory posts on !gameart@sopuli.xyz.

Also, a tip on quickly getting up to speed with federation, is to get your instance and communities set up on lemmy-federate.com.

Since content only shows up for users on instances with subscribers, the idea is to use a bot account on each participating instance to have that one required subscriber, so that posts from a new community actually show up on other instances, rather than just the originating one.

It basically allows you kick-start federation, actually allowing users to organically discover your instance and communities.

  Great advice! Lemmy-federate.com is a huge help for smaller instances!

  Also the baltatro community !Balatro@indie-ver.se was made by the moderators of r/Balatro, but they are still working on figuring out what they want to do.

    Bot to worry, plenty of room for two, remind 'em to cross-post though.

  I am trying to do lemmy-federate but that requires a guarantee fediseer, so it might take a while… We already have over 100 subscribers from many different instances, so I don’t think bot account will be necessary.

    It’s not just getting your communities seen.
    
    Content for you and your users won’t show up in the all feed unless someone on your instance (or a bot) subs to the relevant communities.
    
    Only off-instance communities with a least one local subscriber federate.
    
    You wont immediately see new instances and their communities, and they won’t see you.

  Most of our visitors, already had a fedi-verse account, even those who found us via. reddit. So there haven’t been that many applications.

Link for those wanting to subscribe from other instances: !Silksong@indie-ver.se

  Thank you! Didn’t know frontends supported this.
  
  source
  - Coelacanth@feddit.nu ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago
    The format of exclamation point in front like !community_name@instance.tld is the standardized instance-agnostic link format around here! It will let anyone open the community in their own home instance.

The should get a piefed community so they don’t have to support and promote anti-trans, pro-war, and pro-genocide lemmy developers.

  Using someone’s open-source software doesn’t mean you support them (unless you donate or something)

  - WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago
    they recommend people to donate to lemmy devs in the reddit post, though

  Man Piefed is cool but their evangelists really try and sow discord and scare away newcomers.

!silksong should be the lemmy-style link to it, which I'll just put here so I can follow it.

Any word on a release date yet?

Hi everyone! For some reason, this instance weren’t receiving updates for posts made on this community and !Games@lemmy.world, even though federation is working for posts made on e.g. !Silksong@indie-ver.se

Subscribing to both communities, and then going to the post on an alt account, made all the comments on the post show up. Very weird.

source
- bdonvr@thelemmy.club ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago
  You have to have at least one user on your instance subscribe to a community before your instance starts getting updates.

I really wish the relentless PR would stop. We get it, you made an indie game, we know, stop pushing it everywhere already.

source
- ssnoer@indie-ver.se ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago
  We are not a pr team? We are not advertising the game? We are launching a new instance for indie game communities.

  We really need a sub for commentors who aren’t lost but just plain clueless. Something like ‘c/rtfa’
