PC, mostly because I like KB+M. And if it’s a game that uses a controller, I have the steam deck.

That was not the case with lemmy. Most of the instances I tried required manual approval for signups. It took me going through like 4 different instances to find one that didn’t.

To be fair, most people reccomend lemmy.world now, and that doesn’t need manual approval. But there’s another problem, they can’t interact with Beehaw.

“Simply” picking an instance is not actually that simple. Most people just want to go to the site and sign up. Even with email, they know what Gmail and Outlook are. But on Lemmy, there’s no indication of what you’re supposed to pick. Even if you try to go with what seems like the “default” instance, lemmy.ml, you’re met with an announcement saying not to do thaf cause it’s overloaded.

People don’t want to have to make decisions, especially when they don’t have any information to go off of.

It doesn’t even have to be NSFW. Modding any subreddit work.

Edit: Welp, nevermind. It seems Boost is down now.

No, not in my experience. Some games do exist that do that, but that’s the choice of the developer.

No I only have Steam Deck, that’s why I don’t want Denuvo, cause then I have to go online. Might end up buying it and seeing if changing the system clock helps.

Most of the world likely doesn’t use SMS anymore

That has not been the case from what I’ve seen (I’m Australian). The only widespread methods of communication I see are SMS and iMessage. Things like Discord and Instagram are only used among younger people.

Edit: Actually people do use Facebook messenger. Don’t know how many though

Yeah that’s been my experience, but that won’t be the case for everyone. I mostly play singleplayer games, only a few multiplayer games, so it makes sense that I don’t have issues. But for someone who plays lots of multiplayer games, it wouldn’t work.

Right, but even non-reddit users would be confused by it. When everyone advertises lemmy as seamlessly integrating with all the different instances, it doesn’t matter what instance your account is on, this definitely is not that.

Yeah I’m gonna play it on Steam Deck, so gamepass doesn’t help

What? Defederating doesn’t fix that.

1. Meta doesn’t join the fediverse
2. Meta introduces convenient, cool and innovative features not originally on fediverse code
3. Everyone wants new features, but features are locked under propietary code.
4. Everyone flocks to meta’s product.
5. Meta is now the fediverse and the fediverse is nothing but a husk of its former self

The solution is 1: to make sure users understand that it’s a bad idea to flock to meta’s instance, and 2: to implement that feature in the fediverse if everyone likes it so much they’re willing to leave. The solution is not defederating now because of the posibbilty that they do that in the future.

Could you publish that build on github? I would love to try it out.

Or maybe even now
