Just a heads up that I created a new bot that checks the osu! news feed for new entries and posts them here.

I used to keep posting those articles myself but I quickly got tired and started rarely posting any, so now I have automated it and hopefully it contributes to grow this community.

For anyone interested the bot is open source

 

Just got my first 100pp play so I'm just happy and to keep this community alive with some posts somehow.

 

Great news for players who moved countries and was stuck with their old flags for a long time.

 

A skin contest is also going on and everyone gets 3 votes to use.

 

I was bored so a random project idea came up, I just felt like writing some code so here it is.

Feel free to provide me with more quotes and help me grow the database.

 

40+ subscribers and yet no posts or much interaction, are you guys actually playing the game? show yourselves lurkers.

Well as long as you give the source or even at least the artist's name for example, it should be fine. if you look at reddit for example, we don't see a lot of links to other places as pictures are often uploaded to reddit itself or imgur and then the source is noted in the title or comments.

Yeah unfortunately it's Android only.

the dev is strong on the philosophy of keeping it free and open source. So it won't ever require subscription, which also partly what allowed reddit to give the exemption as a 'non commercial' app. As for how long it may last, I don't know, they were worried about this too, that a lot of 3rd party users would migrate to this app and reddit may change their mind.

I check reddit sometimes using RedReader which got an exemption from the API policies https://www.reddit.com/r/RedReader/comments/145du4j/update_4_redreader_granted_noncommercial/

Still though, who knows how long that may last, I can't imagine using reddit without 3rd party apps otherwise. I'm loving Lemmy so far and even RedReader seemed to have plans to support other platforms including Lemmy someday, so that's exciting.

I personally like the default web UI so far, been using that on both desktop and mobile, I like the performance of it, it's not a huge website like reddit.

I did try Jerboa but I don't use my phone often so I might have to look again in terms of how it feels.

no worries, it's all fine. It's good to learn from these type of mistakes early on before we grow too much, thank you for all your work, must be tough being a sysadmin.

yes a re-upload fixes it, I was just wondering if the images were corrupted on your side or something, hopefully not.

I noticed that some images wouldn't load for me, is that normal? Like going to my profile now I cannot see my profile picture/banner.

Actually Aki was brewing coffee in his morning routine that was shown in the anime.

I rarely downvote unless someone is being a literal idiot, and I like to see those comments being down and hidden with downvotes instead of letting them stand out like a normal comment. But that's for the really stupid comments.

There still are other valid scenarios like disagreeing on an opinion, helps to see where the majority are. (Imagine people not wanting downvotes so they downvote this post. haha)

Personally I'd advocate for downvotes to be there but it's also not the end of the world to not have them.
