Once again, Thanks @Dave for starting this instance. Thanks also to fediservices.nz, for providing hosting for it.


Regarding the FAQ about "I want a community about X, how do I create it?"

In my limited experiences so far, if you have found a community that you want to participate in on another Lemmy instance that does not appear in the Communities page of Lemmy.nz and is not appearing within 10-20 secs when you try to search for it. Try the following:

Search for !@. If this does not return any results search for the only after a few seconds delay.

-Rinse -Lather -Repeat

It seems that sometimes the Fediverse takes it's time to federate... All good, keep on trying :)

I've always valued the perspectives, reviews, opinions and recommendations of the members of r/patientgamers to help me find new gaming experiences.

Thanks for creating this community.

---------------

Over 90% of my Reddit access is through a 3rd party mobile app; the future for this is looking a bit bleak.

I’m testing the waters of Lemmy in the unlikely event that the Reddit admins and the majority of users notice that it's shooting itself in the foot with these changes to the API access policy.

That dream is in my head as well :)

A bit rough initially as you might expect with a new platform but I've now got an account on a (geographically) local instance and subscribed to some communities in general interest areas on other instances. Looks promising. Now I just gotta find some niche communities.
