I have some alts around, but here's the main one and not actively using any of the others for now.

  • My first complete failure

    Jump

  • You can't learn how to stand up if you don't fail first. =)

  • I hate the fact that everyone is on mainstream corporate platforms...

    Jump

  • its so dead

    A community is as dead as the people are willing (or not) to post and interact.

    Forgot to mention it in my other reply, but interacting with posts that could attract Chinese speakers, or make them stay, also helps.

  • I hate the fact that everyone is on mainstream corporate platforms...

    Jump

  • People from my experience usually need to see an immediate benefit to do anything. Compared to consolidated platforms, the fediverse may seem barren. So feeding the place with contents should gradually make here (or virtually anywhere tbf) more enticing to people.

    Also worth noting the bigger fediverse platforms have the option to select the post/comment's language at the time of writing, and to filter feeds by languages of choice of the user. If someone wants or is more comfortable with getting contents in Chinese for one reason or another, you or whomever else posting in Chinese may be specially helpful to bring people here.

    Also, a small concession may be needed: to still use the platforms you'd wish to avoid, to try to raise awareness of alternatives, directly or indirectly.

    And if someone asks what instance they should join, don't make it too complicated. Have some instance at ready and give that, preferably. Too many options may scare people away, similar to Linux with all its distros.

    And lastly, some loose points about reach within the fediverse:

    • Lemmy is mostly isolated from microblogging platforms, e.g. Mastodon, so its reach is generally more reduced.
    • Friendica and Mbin feel like the more mature/standardized of the platforms capable of connecting between the "threadiverse" and microblogging platforms, so maybe worth using them instead for better reach?
    • We're in the ActivityPub protocol; you could expand reach also by using hybrid or bridging solutions to connect to other protocols, like Nostr with e.g. Minds.com, and AT Protocol (e.g. Bluesky's) with e.g. Wafrn, Friendica, NeoDB and/or @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy.
    • Usefulness still being sown, but given contents need to propagate for them to be seen locally in ActivityPub, maybe keep an eye at the tool from this post? (if the post doesn't load for you locally, search for the link at https://sh.itjust.works/search)

    Hope this helps. =)

  • Looking for a game that's really just a backdrop to bullshit with friends

    Jump

  • Co-op games I'd recommend that people can just mess around in multiplayer, not caring much about what's going on:

    • Starbound
    • Stardew Valley
    • Metal Slug franchise
    • Minecraft
    • Saints Row franchise

  • Listing DRM-free Android games

    Jump

  • Tested Bladed Fury and The Almost Gone. Former worked fine after testing for some minutes, and latter didn't work. Adding Bladed Fury in the next few minutes.

    Jump

  • meanwhile

  • Introducing Threadirator - A Threadiverse Community Federator

    Jump

  • Tested recently also adding to the federator some Peertube channel as they're treated as communitues here and on Lemmy, and it works too. =O

  • 26 April 1989

    Jump

  • Love when there's stuff going on in the background not needed for the scene but that enriches it =D

  • Catherine (by Alexandra Fomina)

    Jump

  • Character from the game with the same name. Yet to play the expanded version, but the PS3/Steam version is mostly horror/puzzle with some suggestive elements. Imo a pretty fun game.

  • Resident Evil Starting Point?

    Jump

  • If you care about story, my suggestion for any franchise is release order. And in case there's remasters (which RE has besides remakes), I'd consider their release dates as the OG ones for simplicity.

  • According to dessalines, .ml admin head Lemmy dev, it's "bigotry" to properly talk about Russia being the aggressor towards Ukraine

    Jump

  • "Dictatorship of labels" as some call isn't a good way to defend a given point. If anything, it's good to create resentment instead.

  • I've taken in a starved stray male cat. Needs neutered asap. How can I tell when he's healthy enough for this?

    Jump

  • Imo, regular checkups from a vet are the best approach.

  • What are your favorite video games that feel like gambling but are not gambling games?

    Jump

  • Going by your description, it could be interpreted as "any games heavy on luck that aren't gachas".

    If so, God Hand for the PS2 with its between stages casino minigames for example would count.

    Also, Crisis Core for the PSP (and apparently modern consoles and Steam now too?) with the playable character's power being a literal roulette that is constantly spinning, allowing him to mimic other people's abilities when icons match.

  • [PlayStation] [DRM] Licenses now requires an online check-in every 30 days.

    Jump

  • Some examples come to mind:

    There's an aptly named "DRM" folder within each single PS Vita cartridge. Also, dumping any games in the console, including physical ones, requires launching it at least once so a plugin can generate a dummy license validator, but that means the game needs to be validated first (account/internet not required for cartridges but the technology is already halfway there).

    Blurays need to be validated with keys that are constantly monitored, updated and when leaks are identified, revoked.

    Windows Live.

    Physical discs of Final Fantasy XI on the PS2 and Final Fantasy XIV on the PS3. Both have data in them, but good luck accessing them.

    While physical can be a good starting point with the current state of right of ownership, physical doesn't mean DRM-free, right to repair, owning, etc., so beware of taking it for granted.

  • How can people use #YouTube without or paying for it?

    Jump

  • @txt_file@chaos.social some would say there are ads in your video. I would say there is a video in your ads.

    And not just Youtube, not using ad blockers often immediately turn the browsing experience overall miserable.

    Those that don't use ad blockers, I wonder if they are an example of Plato's Cave allegory.

  • This isn't even my final form.

  • I am just noticing that Unruffled proposed to refederate Lemmygrad to dbzer0. The people who upvoted aren't a surprise.

    Jump

  • Also context, the Reduces tab right next would be downvotes, but apparently isn't accessible without privileged access.

    Also iirc Friendica has public downvotes, but the instance I have an account on (friendica.world) isn't pulling the post or community when searching, so maybe DB0 is defederated there?
