found this account on Mastodon and seems like a cool project trying to preserve some nice video game history

what magazines did you read as a kid? EGM was my favorite

According to https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats

Lemmy has ~67,500 daily active users over the past two weeks (it did peak at around 72,000)

How do you feel about the activity in your communities?

Do you think it will take another 'event' on some other website for more growth, or do you think Lemmy can grow naturally from here?

Or are you fine with the current activity and don't necessarily see the need for more users at this time?

This site is great for casual video game radio listening with a lot of retro game music

You can even request and vote on upcoming songs which is cool

I had not played Diablo at the time so this game was my introduction to the genre

It was only $10 brand new which was awesome for a poor kid like myself

I recently requested and was approved to have a new community created on the programming.dev instance called Software Testing

This is a community for people who would like to discuss, learn, or ask questions on software testing

Unit, Integration, Functional, Automation - all the fun stuff!

QA, Devs, POs, or anyone at all are welcome!

Software Testing

I know a Mastodon user can create a new post by mentioning a Lemmy community, but I believe it is just a text post

Here was an example I found of this:
https://lemmy.world/post/82145

Does anyone know if it is possible to create a post in Lemmy via Mastodon that is a link to somewhere else such as a website?

I suppose I could just put the link in the body of the text post but a direct link would be cool, if possible

let's spread the love so other instances/communities can be discovered easier

here are a few I recommend:

!retrocomputing@lemmy.sdf.org

!selfhosted@lemmy.world

!steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

!hockey@lemmy.ca

!moviesandtv@lemmy.film
