I think it is very plausible that the numbers only appear to be back to normal. I agree probably nothing will change but at the very least I am not using reddit any more - and I feel like I have seen a similar sentiment from other users of Lemmy/kbin.

This is what is so frustrating to me as well! I have visited a few old subs to see where/if they were moving and the amount of people saying essentially "why would the mods do a useless protest" and "nobody cares about kbin/Lemmy nobody is going to switch" is so perplexing to me. I also get frustrated at "this change won't affect me so I just want to sub opened" when I have seen it explained multiple times that a lot of the useful mod tools are built on these API calls so if you want to have well moderated subs, you want this to be worked out! And even without that, just the way that reddit is handling this whole situation sucks.

I don't know if this is the right place for this or how to help but...I think it is spelled ernest.

Kbin has quite a few of its own posts but a lot is from Lemmy and mastodon, yeah. From my perspective, Lemmy acts like another kbin instance!

Is there a way to see that mastodon post directly on kbin? I'm having trouble navigating to it.

Absolutely agree. Some things need work (really feel like boost and favorite should be switched because imo the button that drops rep and visibility should be next to the button that raises them - it's just mildly confusing from a design standpoint) but so far I think I'm enjoying the interaction more.

That's one of the main things I'm wondering about as well.

Where would be a good place to go to learn more about UseNet? Are there any resources you prefer?

I forget about Vernintide! I haven't played Darktide; is it worth playing?

I agree about 15. I kept thinking I should be able to avoid or dodge attacks and it just didn't feel as good as it should have - same with the car, actually, in that it just never felt as satisfying as it could have. I prefer the feel of 16 or 13 (or even 14) to the weird hybrid that 15 was that was unsatisfying on both the action and rpg fronts.
I did like some of the small details in 15 like the pictures, though.

That looks super cool! Not OP but thanks for the recommendation!

Can you navigate to the specific post through your kbin instance with the URL or maybe looking for the user?

So currently I am using kbin mostly as a PWA on my phone and it takes away the navigation part of the browser. But this is good to know for future reference, thank you!

Thank you so much!

I liked the logo already and I also like the bird.

I'm honestly kind of surprised. You have to figure that they know a large section of players want it. I feel they would get a lot of community appreciation for it. I thought they would at least mention it.

I completely agree about the migration. I guess it would make some moderation a little more tricky - like if a user got banned, can they migrate? I guess migration would only be through federated instances? I would imagine that a migration would involve carrying around some data about corrective action that had been taken previously?
I don't think those are insurmountable questions, though.

Seems like the day 1 patch is pretty small. It doesn't affect me but glad to know it's playable without the patch because I have friends with slow/no internet.

I haven't ever used a game tracker but I would be open to it. Do these sites typically keep track of games you are currently playing and if so do they have a section for "games that I come back to and play sporadically?" Like Civ games I will spend months without playing then play a few games for a month.
Like, you don't really "beat" some games.

Is not buying at full price just a general tip or do you have experience with the game? (Not sure if there was a demo or something)

Regardless, it looks really interesting, thanks for the suggestion!
