Lemmy App List

Hi everyone!
I'm moving my two lists of games from Reddit to Lemmy, as I'm planning to jump platform and totally abandon Reddit in the future. The reason is well, Lemmy is better, and Reddit's admin have suspended or shadowbanned my account without reason, deleting all my contributions to the community (Android Gaming) there.
Most notably my two lists of games which I've curated for 4 years: "100% free games" and "Favorite PAID games".
Lemmy's still young and, unfortunately, there isn't a relevant or active Android gaming community yet, so I'm uploading here hoping I'm not doing anything wrong!
I'll probably cross-post the two lists on android(at)lemmy.world too.
I'm very new to Lemmy so ANY feedback is appreciated. Thank you!
Thanks for your work on this! Will pin it for awhile :).
That's great! Hope it can be helpful :)
I will start including FOSS games into this list soon, labeled as such for clarity.
Also, here is my paid games list in case you find it appropriate to pin this one too.
Cheers!
Some small markdown suggestions:
## **THE LIST**
First of all, thanks for your observations and suggestions. I love to be precise with my posts and learning more about markdown formatting.
A question about this: does it change the way it actually looks? I'll fix it, but I'd love to know if there's a practical difference in using space vs no space?
You're probably right, as general rules go, but the reason why headers in my list are formatted this way is because I wanted to draw attention to the actual list and genres, rather than to the introduction/criteria. As I'm expecting most users to browse this list when they wanna checkout some games.
I've actually tried that recently, but didn't like the way it looked. I think something was off with the spacing between genre headers and first line when using three hashtags. Might give it another try soon.
Without the space, they don't render as a header at all.
No space:

With space:
THE LIST
They both always looked the same for me, but once I tried on Obsidian I could see the difference! I think it depends on what app the formatting is displayed on. Thanks, I'm gonna fix all headers
That is probably where the confusion lies here. Because in the default Lemmy web UI, omitting the space literally displays the number signs as-is without making the line a larger font at all.
Should be fixed now. Let me know if I forgot something!
Welcome! FYI you can type [email protected] to link a community
Thanks! Would this be helpful for cross-posting to that community? My goal is to have a post showing in these 2 communities, and when I update the original one in this instance, the update will automatically carry on to the community in the other instance.
I tried cross-posting using a function in the Summit app, but the updates don't carry on... Do you know how I could achieve this?
I don't think there's any formal concept of a cross-post in Lemmy, the button in Summit will just create a new post with a link to the original and the description text quoted. They are essentially just two different posts.
Thanks for posting that here!
