I think the main thing is that it’s the lowest friction for just sending a message, making a “post” gives people pause, but sending a message people will do no problem, so small communities get more activity in Discord than anywhere else

I’ve got 2 gaming Discords I want to bridge with Matrix (and maybe Revolt too?) can you suggest an instance? one is for Deus Ex Randomizer, and the other is for The 7th Guest fan club

Note that when you join a Space, you are not automatically joining all the rooms inside it.

this is going to be a bit painful for people who are used to Discord

you can search public rooms but not public Spaces? how do you find Spaces? they should’ve copied the good parts about Discord lol (EDIT: I found the way to search public Spaces, I guess it can’t search across instances though which is a shame, it probably wouldn’t require much disk space to index the name and description of every Matrix Space)

I don’t even see rooms linking back to their Space?

tchncs.de has a lot of public spaces, I created my account using my Google but it just assumed my username :(

tell that to Google lol, my Github pages are way higher than my website

Well it doesn’t really focus on your README either because all the files and folders are above it

Github really tries to hide the Releases page lol it’s so annoying as a dev, it’s even worse on mobile

I usually end up just directly linking to /releases/latest

Lance’s quote at the end of the article is so good lol, really cool that Mastodon has lived longer than Google+ already!

Does it make sense to host your own instance of lemmy for one user?

Not really lol, but if you think it will be fun then go for it

I missed it live and I was curious, here’s the trailer

Nah posting in advance is good, just making people aware

starts in 12 hours

As a kid I liked GTA2, modded the game to make the taxi super fast and strong lol

I messed around a lot in GTA3 with cheats, causing chaos in the tank

Vice City I actually played for real and beat it, my favorite in the series, but I stopped after that. I probably would’ve enjoyed San Andreas because it’s similar. GTA4 and 5 just seemed like a different tone and style that I was never very interested in. Also they took too long to bring to PC lol.
