A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
Rules
The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World's rules. You can click the link but we've reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn't a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.
1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.
A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn't rulebreaking and we can't be supportive to them then we probably shouldn't engage.
B. No illegal content.
C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.
D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.
E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.
2. Include a community or instance title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities or instances all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.
Formatting
Please include this following format in your post:
[link text](/c/[email protected])
This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won't
You should also include either:
or instance.com/c/community
FAQ:
Q: Why do I get a 404?
A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.
Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?
A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.

Currently playing it on my Steam Deck. Proton handles it pretty well, performance is alright if you lock it to 30, and the controls all work, even with correct button prompts
That solves one of the matters (Linux). What about the other? Is its singleplayer fun?
Single player is fun if you like to play survival crafting games alone. “Pokémon with guns” is not actually a very good description. It’s a monster capturing game, and the creatures are cartoony like Pokémon, but it’s a third person survival crafting game. No turn based elements or choosing monster move sets or anything like that.
It’s more like Ark with Pokémon instead of dinosaurs
Yeah, it's Ark but infinitely less grindy and with Pokemon
Palworld is better with friends because I have good friends but the game doesn't get twice as hard and frustrating when you're alone. I enjoy games that encourage coordination and teamwork , but I think that kind of gameplay would be out of place in such a whimsical world.
You can choose power sets.
Honestly I would describe it as Ark-lite. It has base building/taming and that's pretty fun, and you can also get random encounters at your base. The leveling system is a bit grindy. There are dungeons and bosses in the world to go find and explore. The map is huge, I think I've hardly explored a tenth of it.
Been playing about 15 hours or so and enjoyed it, but the game is definitely early access. I've had a number of crashes, fell through the world a few times, etc. I'd give it a month or two if that bothers you.
Is singleplayer more compelling than Ark or Conan Exiles? Games like Valheim or Project Zomboid can completely take over my life but Ark/CE was always just kind of an aimless boring grind.
There's a tutorial that leads towards the first dungeon boss of the game, but after that it looks like you make your own challenges. There's a few bosses around my level that I'll be taking on next, then I'm probably going to explore to see if I can find more dungeons.
You have to tweak ARK (on your own server) to make it a good fit.
That’s completely subjective. Although if you find survival in general fun, you’ll probably feel right at home
I'm aware that fun value is subjective, but that was the way that I found to ask succinctly if it's possible to have fun even if you focus solely on singleplayer. (I'm not a big fan of MP).
A shame that the game didn't want to run at any acceptable speed in my machine. Otherwise I'd be almost for sure playing it, @[email protected] even mentioned that it's Ark-like (I'd love Ark if not for the grinding, so...)
