What timconspicuous said. Make sure your instance hasn't blocked bluesky as well
My perspective as someone who is mainly active in the anime/gaming fandom and gamedev space:
- Easier onboarding overall since you don't have to bother with choosing an instance and all that
- despite starting out with less features than mastodon (no gifs, they are only getting video in the next update wth), the UI is overall more user-friendly and similar to Twitter's
- Customizable feeds you can easily subscribe to in-app so you instantly have some content on your timeline (+ it's easy to be found in these feeds without having to research the specific tags to use)
- Discoverability (through features and community efforts) is so much better. As someone who mainly follows artists, the last few days my TL was full of people doing artshares via quote-repost chains or sharing "starter packs" with lists of people to follow
- I have seen exactly one artshare post on mastodon so far (the japanese side seems to have it figured out a bit better, though. I regularly see tag-based artshares going around)
- meanwhile, to achieve a similar experience on mastodon I had to manually build myself different feeds in phanpy in which I'm following ~30 tags I have painfully collected to find the posts I'm interested in
- quote-retweets don't exist yet but I kind of see the benefit now
- the stackable moderation also helps a lot
Overall, I think the main problems on Mastodon's side are difficult onboarding and lack of actual community-building efforts. Also, the community just seems to be less welcoming for creators in general imo
Thank you for the nice reply! ☺️
I think, out of the different approaches outlined in the post, I'd go with the main menu link. Larian's pre-game launcher is honestly kind of annoying, since it takes one more step to start the actual game. And the in-game pop-up method I'd only use if the advertised game is a direct sequel imo 🤔
turkish flat bread filled with spiced minced meat and/or cheese and sprinkled with sesame. The pide we make have a slightly crunchy and sweet crust, are very fluffy, and taste overall amazing
Subscribed! Let's hope that this one will last longer 😅 Thank you for all the effort you put into building this community!
she's adorable!
I've sent a message to a mod of a community to ask for permission^^ If they give the ok i'll make a promo post
You think so? I had the impression that those are usually targeted at players rather than devs 👉👈
You can solo all of the main story quest except for 8-player boss battles and one required 24-player alliance raid series.
Yeah, the biggest problem with this approach is different moderation philosophies. You would have to set up a vetted set of approved non-problematic instances. I've read several accounts of people who tried out fedi and left soon after, and nothing sours the newcomer experience more than unknowingly joining an instance with a toxic community/moderators
