The Last Kingdom.

I can't quite put my finger on it but the series really keeps me watching.

 

After multiple EU-based users complained about not being able to access Threads app through VPN, Meta confirmed it is blocking such efforts.

Seeing those references was very refreshing!

Flashback to when my sister in law had an electric car and felt compelled to plug it in at my place everytime she visited.

 

In honor of communities throughout the Fediverse, @BestOf will be highlighting communities that distinguish themselves from others with the quality and value they bring to the Fediverse.

This week, we are happy to introduce TrueGaming!

!Truegaming
@Truegaming

Truegaming is a "deep-dive" community dedicated to thoughtful and in-depth discussions about all things gaming (i.e. video games, board games, and beyond).

The community values posts and comments that contribute to meaningful conversations, such as in-depth reviews, breaking down mechanics and narratives, and general exploration of game design and philosophy. Truegaming strives to provide an environment where gamers can engage in constructive debates, share their perspectives, and learn from others in the community.

 

Larian Studios showed the option during its last Panel From Hell presentation

 

I'm old now. I've finally realised I get more enjoyment from watching someone play than to actually play the game. Why is that? Do you experience that as well?

So what you're saying is we need to open a Threads account and become Nazis?

As Moderator to !BestOf, this is my biggest fear. I've been working pretty extensively on this community in my spare time and I'm afraid that if the Moderators of r/BestOf decide to federate, we will lose. I'm not entirely nervous about fragmenting the community so much as just being r/LesserBestOf. By design, this community shouldn't really be fragmentated unless we decide to become BestOf something specific.

Not sure what I expected, but yep... that's a toaster.

I've been on Reddit for like 12 years and I was never banned by an admin. The fact that you got banned twice is sus.

I did get banned from blackpeopletwitter for being white.

It does help a lot. I believe I selected 'Copy url to Fediverse' while my peer @fishos used 'copy url' which works properly.

I disagree. A rubber band and a donut do not have an 'in' and 'out'.

 

As off-topic discussions are generally discouraged, we have decided to establish Monday threads for meta discussions. Under this thread, you may discuss about the earlier discussions, the direction this community is going, moderation, etc.

Happy browsing!

As July 1 approaches and the Reddit Ark is set to arrive, we would like to know your thoughts on how we can grow this community.

Please share your thoughts and ideas on how this community can continue to distinguish itself.

Happy browsing!

When first logged into kbin, I noticed a lot of important communities were missing so I created a few in hopes of putting them in the right hands when things took off. I'm at about that point where I'm ready to give some because there's no way I can manage 5+ at the same time.

I have promoted some users to moderator, but how do I give them completely?

 

I'm the creator of @Bestof or !BestOf and I've been trying to grow the community for the last couple of weeks. It was an uphill battle as I could only get 5-10 members every day, sometimes even much less.

After finally hitting 100 subscribers yesterday, 200 subscribers this morning, and nearly at 300 subscribers this afternoon, I believe my community is really fruiting!

Thank you so much for your interest. I will do my best to manage this community and have it flourish. I can envision how fantastic it will be, and I hope it contributes to your enjoyment of the Fediverse!

 

As moderator, we will let the community manage the content and decide what is worthy of the frontpage.

I understand the community looks empty on Lemmy, but I can assure you it's not. There must be an issue with the integration between kbin and lemmy, it should be fixed and the real numbers should come up eventually.
