This is hilarious. There are quite a few games with ability to alter facial expressions with good enough graphics and I suspect they’d work as well!

Same, mostly because it’s not relaxing anymore and you need to manage time as well. I can’t always commit so much time unfortunately and we all know how toxic some MMO players can be! (not always but yeah)

That is so true! And there (atleast when I played) wasn’t much group content so you never had to stress about that either (unlike in other mmos)

I have to say I really loved RuneScape quests. Some of the quests are incredibly humorous and really clever.

The quest about neighbourhood wizard robbing a bank and the accompanying “security cam footage” of him “pwning noob players” during robbery but denying everything has stuck with me as a core memory.

I love your posts. Thank you for sharing your journey with us!

Hey you leave my favourite beaver alone!

I’ll be sure to give you a notice! I will probably make a post about it (which you are welcome to do sooner if you wish!) to e.g. !books@lemmy.world too!

Never read any of his works before, have to give it a read. Thanks for the recommendation :)

Nice! I imagine you go through a lot of books in a year!

Follow up if you have time: what book you’ve read recently that you’d like to recommend?

What is your typical day like? seems like another user beat me to it. Let me ask instead: what is the most useful tool you use at work?

Awesome! Glad to hear! :)

Seems like lemmy.wtf posts are up again, can you login today?

That’s very possible! I mean as a user I also do like stability (had to instance hop quite a few times when I joined fediverse due to them shutting down) but also see resiliency and strenght in being able to spin up an instance of a platform we are all familiar with. When people leave reddit they don’t have similar alternatives with many users, but on lemmy/piefed we can always migrate and stay on the same platform with different rules and administrators.

Of course that’s simplifying the whole topic, but I’m not that worried about fediverse. But you are right of course that for new users who are on the edge already this might be a big dealbreaker. That’s why I always suggest bigger instances first. Once you are comfortable with fedi/threadiverse you can migrate to a smaller instance (I did exactly that once I figured out how this all works). I know lemm.ee shutting down probably made a noticable chunk of people give up on fediverse because we didn’t see any instance completely fill the void that lemm.ee’s weekly activity left.

This topic has had a lot of discussion, but backup plans are good indeed. Lemmy.wtf is small though, so I wouldn’t worry about it and I believe Meldrik is coming back :) what happened with feddit.de was tragic. I wonder if they ever found out what happened to the admin.

Just pinged @meldrik@lemmy.wtf on matrix. Seems like he’s been away from lemmy (or just not commenting) for a week.

Edit: was made aware that he’s away right now unfortunately :( hope he returns soon and resolves the issue!

No, but I do so anyway because I’m underpaid.

That would be awesome!

Since the page doesn’t have about or info page I’ll add the link to the repo of threadiverse.link: https://github.com/RikudouSage/lemmyverse.link

I thought lemsha.re stopped working - guess not, that’s good news! And such a cool feature by the dev with the voyager link. Haven’t tried that feature out yet (voyager is my personal favourite lemmy app).

Ah must remember wrong or maybe it was proposed!

Yeah the software would need to know, but in a way “lemmy” knows because it knows which instances your instance is federating with. If your instance isn’t federating with the link target it cant find it anyway.

Same as the ! Exclamation mark for communities or @ for users it can do a look up (you can put my link to your search input in lemmy and it will find it), but there would be otherways to achieve this too.

But yeah it would be really nice to have some universal way like the ! And @ signs to point to another fedi post/comment.

No problem, I feel like fedistuff is so scattered and hidden that it’s always worth mentioning your favourite tools :)

The frontends and apps do redirect embedded links in comments no? E.g. if you click this it should automatically use your instance to find the comment (even though its a link to my instance): https://sopuli.xyz/comment/17606535

Or maybe you mean when you paste an url to the browser that it should automatically redirect to your instance? If so thats tad bit difficult. There was once a post that proposed something like a activityPub/lemmy URI scheme where links would look like this:

activitypub://<postorcommentidentifier>

But I don’t remember where that conversation led and also I have no idea how feasible that would be.

Edit: added words
