For my vim journey it was the draw of being able to quickly navigate and manipulate text without ever needing my hands to move away from the home row on the keyboard, and being willing to put in the time and effort to push past the learning curve.

That seems perfectly reasonable.

What comes to mind when I see this meme is more along the lines of CS DMing devs directly with customer issues and expecting us to magically come up with a solution to something with minimal information given.

Technically? Sure. But it would likely require rewriting a bunch of systems which would be pretty expensive and I don’t know why Reddit would want to do that right now.

I think the community is much more important than just having more content. I would worry that by flooding Lemmy with Reddit’s content without the community to support that content could drown everyone out.

Yeah this is why I haven’t set that option that hides visited links…

I haven’t played some of the recent games, but I liked the old format and look forward to Mirage’s take on it.

Silksong is coming out some day, probably.

Yeah. Reddit was never going to magically die overnight. If it dies, it’s going to be a long and slow process. But that process starts with with some number of us jumping ship and focusing on bringing alternatives like Lemmy to life.

Let me test: hunter2

The topic specific dedicated communities is what’s going to make this difficult for me. So, like, all of the DM focused DND subreddits. Fan communities for books that I enjoy, for games that I’m currently playing.

For general internet scrolling, so far I think Lemmy looks like it’ll do the trick.

For some context, what are some games you enjoy? Or, perhaps, do you think are underrated?
