Of course, it'll only be in lemmy.world right? There can still be c/Quaker on another instance, so this isn't really a viable tactic.

Is that not the correct phrase? To your heart's content?

I love overly pedantic interpretations of the rules. It does say that participants in a battle take turns in combat. I wonder if that's enough to define that dead creatures can't act.

I believe dead creatures are objects rather than creatures but the problem is that the combat section is written in second person so it doesn't seem to matter if you're a creature or not. It simply says you take your turn.

Yeah looks like there's some confusion. This is a render! Can't paint this well 😂

Thanks for answering.

  • With the username thing. I've not yet seen any @ after anyone's name so far? It's just their username.

  • I guess the intention is to have like 1000 different instances each hosting a small number of users and being federated with each other?

  • I think centralisation is kind of human nature though. If there's a big walled garden that has all the content then people will keep joining. And what about an instance that's initially run well then later becomes walled. All the content could just be lost to those on other instances? That doesn't fill me with confidence about the longevity of a community.

  • It's pretty confusing that it's said to not worry too much about which instance to make your home instance but it actually seems to matter a lot since you could be accidentally part of a walled garden or a small server that is likely to disappear.

Questions about Lemmy (self.lemmyworld)
submitted 1 year ago by flenzil to c/lemmyworld
 

Not sure if this is the right place for this, still getting used to lemmy! I'm a bit confused on some things and I'm hoping people can answer for me.

  • What happens to the communities/comments/accounts if a lemmy instance goes down? Do they just disappear?

  • Can people on other instances use your username? Could others tell which is which in comments/posts?

  • How can people afford to host an instance? Aren't there costs to hosting a server?

  • Is there anything stopping corporate interests hosting a lemmy? I fear that these corporate instances will be the only ones that can handle large traffic and we're just back to Reddit.

  • Can an instance go from fully federated to partially without telling it's users? How would they know?

Thank you for your answers!
