yeah i think communities being different from each other even if they're discussing the same subjects is a good point. this same idea probably applies to the way people interact in other instances or what communities grow on there.
reminds me of going between different forums and boards many years ago when that was something you had to do to see discussion on specific topics before most online activity was grouped into sites like twitter, reddit, facebook, etc.
i've only been on the platform for a few days but i've noticed a decent uptick in content and unique posts. probably still a lot of bots but with a decent surge of users and people getting a handle on the platform there's been a good bit of activity.
yeah the ocean is scary, but just remember these silly lil guys are in the ocean and it's not so bad
super hexagon. i like the pretty colors and noises and it makes my brain quiet.
it's crazy to think how isolating our oceans still are. outside of major routes there is mostly just open ocean without much or any traffic. for most people for most of history, without deep sea navigation techniques, just ending up a fraction the distance from land was a death sentence.
when i was a kid i had the option of playing on n64 with ocarina or a gamecube with wind waker. unfortunately ocarina didn't stand a chance to a kid easily impressed with bright colors. funny how it caught flak for that design, but nintendo was effortlessly reaching its target audience.
i'm gonna chime in with wind waker. i haven't played a good bit of the zelda games, especially the modern entries, but wind waker is still easily one of my favorite games of all time. absolutely amazing aesthetic, fun characters and story, with one of my favorite worlds to explore and navigate in any game. mileage may vary depending on how cool you think sailing is ⛵️. still has one of my favorite final boss encounters and endings in any game i've played.
yeah i've got no clue what they were cooking with that thought. like it's a great design visually and the kit looks fun, but out of the five roles they put the animalistic hunter in anything that isn't jungle???
whatever, i'm playing it jungle anyway. the kit still looks good for the role regardless, just depending on if they can clear well, which shouldn't be too hard, and whether or not they get easily bullied in the early game. since they're made as a mid assassin, i would assume they probably can duel decently. hopefully it's not too terrible, cause as a jungle main this is like my dream champ.
still a little mind-blowing to me that this champ thematic is getting balanced for mid and not jung. last time i got excited for a new jung champ we got bel'veth, which was not the 'monstrous' void champ i really hoped for. granted i've warmed up to her a good bit since.
besides that gripe this champ looks like a lot of fun. it's like if elise's spiderling gimmick was fleshed out a lot more. also never really disappointed in the aesthetic of darkin champs, always hits for me. kind of a 200 years dash machine but whatever at this point just the nature of the game.
yeah, i do my best to add input and discussion to the platform, but like a lot of users, i lurk, or at least did historically. so it's a habit i've been trying to break on here. i comment to add bits of input when i can but i've never really had the posting mindset. i am making it a point to add to discussion here, but i have to work on starting some myself 😅.
yeah, it's a bit of an uphill battle to create communities online with how centralized the internet has gotten, especially on a whole different platform than where most users congregate. it might be a reasonable concession to make.
though i'd hope new users can take up the task of generating content themselves, that's what platforms like this are made for. best way to nurture a culture of posting and engaging is to post and engage, which there should be enough users for at this point i think. it's a bit idealistic though, not an easy issue.
i think my concern comes from the idea that large instances could set the pace for how other instances operate. if admins for lemmy.world wanted to enact certain policies the fact that they have the largest userbase would encourage other instances to fall in line since they wouldn't want to defederate from the largest instance.
i should also admit that i'm not completely aware of the process through which instances federate and defederate from each other. i assume it's up to the discretion of the admins of each instance, and then once many begin to federate together the admins of each have their say on who can be included, with defederating occuring if there is no longer alignment between an instance and it's federation. correct me if i'm wrong, but if this is correct, large instances like lemmy.world would hold an unequal share of bargaining power in these circumstances.
