It's worked well, so I'd recommend giving it a shot.
I've been using the system in my BIND campaign. You can see an example rundown around the last index in this book.
I stuck in a few areas as well, so if the players discover 'the Green Tower' in a forest encounter, then that's where it goes forever after, but it doesn't really matter where it lives before that point.
More like a teenager with their first job.
This week, Lemmy becomes a man.
The Patrician - his speech in Guard! Guards was fantastic.
In all fairness to the devs, Lemmy's had a dozen users + the devs until now, then /u/spez pulls his stunt, and we're looking at how it operates with 0.0000000000001% of Reddit, which is apparently 20-bajillion people.
The features sound good, and judging by Lemmy, I imagine they're coming, depending on how much free time the devs have.
there’s no reason for a general-purpose instance to defederate from lemmynsfw.com
This one's trickier. The mods have mentioned both moderation and legal difficulties with nsfw instances. If something illegal's posted, then whoever has the server would (verifiably) have a copy of that image and has been (verifiably) distributing it. Reddit probably managed to skirt these issues by a) being early, when the world was new, and laws were weak, and b) having the money for a legal team.
I wouldn't want to be an admin trying to answer legal questions.
Pretty much everything from watabou is fantastic. The various in-browser apps create random villages, cities, maps, et c.
I use a method I call 'story weaving'. I get a series of events which could occur anywhere within a rough location ('villages', 'town', 'forest').
After that, I create the locations. Players may bit the hooks in the various encounters, and interact with the locations, or not.

What I most from Reddit, is the communities there. Nobody can nuke that - if Lemmy.ml disappears, those groups will have (or make) copies elsewhere.
I don't think anyone follows me on Reddit, but if I followed people, I guess they'd re-emerge soon after. Of course that's not great if you follow 100 people - Mastodon's much better at retaining that sort of thing.
There's a Github issue about it here.
There's a lot to answer on what exactly that would mean. Would you be able to edit old posts from the new instance? What if the new instance already defederated from the old? Would you retain the same username? Or are you simply getting a list of subscriptions, and copying them across?
Users are unable to block whole instances
Sounds like a good feature, though not exactly a 'disadvantage', without a comparison. Is the comparison Mastodon? Reddit?
Lemmy is one of the least privacy friendly service I have ever stumbled upon
Could you expand on this? Is it just the deletion problem?
There is no possibility to migrate or backup your subscribed/favorited stuff or even move it to another instance (which somehow is possible on Mastodon),
This took a while to get on Mastodon. Remember, the data's not necessarily stored in a usable format (users don't want a load of postgres in their download), and the devs need to be sure that nobody else's data will accidentally get in there.
I can't see it. I stuck it in the markdown bars
but it doesn't show when hovering the mouse. I can see it using elinks text-browser, so I guess it's in there somewhere?
