Considering how this is far superior to the reddit experience, how do you bring more people in here? I'd have very few reasons to login to reddit every day if the active population came here.
I think part of the quietness is that we are in this waiting period before Rice and Timber are announced. There are photos of training but not a lot is going on (until the first preseason match)
There's also barely anything worth F5ing about. Just waiting for announcements at this point, unless you know enough about Brazilian football to comment on Bitello at least.
@Astrealix @poorlydrawnarsenal I kinda like that this community is a little more chill and doesn't feel the need to dissect every rumour.
As a side note, I can't reply to HaleEndGrad, but I can reply to you and poorlydrawn. Wonder if it's because of some defederation shenanigans.
HaleEndGrad is on Lemmygrad.ml which is an actively tankie instance so that's probably why yea.
Personally, I don't care. We have a community enough and people will eventually come over as Reddit continues to fuck itself.
We all know Reddit is going to fuck itself again. We just need to build the community and support the devs as they improve the platform.
Not so sure about supporting the devs lol, they're actively tankies and vocal about it (hence why lemmygrad.ml is theirs and Lemmy.ml's "ml" stands for Marxist-Leninist)
lesser of two evils though.
I must be out of the loop, what the hell is a tankie and why should I be worried?
I think of them as the "actual" far left. Rather than people who want equality and free healthcare (who often get tarred with that brush).
Tankies are a term historically used to describe people that supported the use of tanks to crush revolts in Soviet Hungary, but are now generally used to describe people who support the authleft and justify their policies, including stuff like Maoism and Stalin stuff (depends on the person of course). As someone from Hong Kong, I can definitely confirm that that isn't the way to go lol
Fair point. Maybe it'd be better to say support the development than support the devs.
Seems to just be those 2 servers as the tankie servers. Although Lemmy.World seems to has taken over as "the" Lemmy server now. We can always fork the software and move on past the devs if they ever become a problem in development.
I mean, even Lemmy.ml is fine mostly, they made an active choice to be more neutral on there which is why lemmygrad.ml exists. Agree on forking it if needs be though — I play modded minecraft a lot and the biggest modloader just got forked by basically all the devs cuz they were sick of the guy in charge
One of the beautiful things about open source. Lemmy is bigger than the original 2 devs. Theres so many contributors now.
Technic laucher for Minecraft was the shit, when I was playing with my friends. Minecraft comes in phases for me, I get really into it followed by a long period of not playing.
Would recommend getting back into it! Minecraft mods have come a long way since — look up anything to do with the Create mod and you'll be fucking amazed.
