Lemmy Lead Developer and father of two children.
I also develop Ibis, a federated wiki.
Mods are developed by fans in their free time, like the original Counter-Strike. To play it you had to own the original game and could get the mod for free. In contrast games like Half-Life are developed by a company with full-time employees, and sold for money.
Of course Counter-Strike hasn’t been a mod for a long time now. Valve took it over and turned it into a full game.
Oh yes bought it on release because of all the hype. Then stopped playing after two hours because it was so boring and generic.
The main problem with Witcher 3 is that it’s way too long. Was a real slog to reach the ending. Didn’t even bother with the addons. Cyberpunk was great in my opinion.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I collected the ones which subjectively seem best, here is the list for a quick overview:
Based on these suggestions and the discussion, the best option seems to be: A decentralised discussion platform for communities.
I will keep making more updates to join-lemmy.org based on this post and the previous one. Once that’s done I will likely make another post to show the results and gather additional feedback.
Still its the main feature. Plus the sentence is a bit short like this. Or mention that it is open source instead.
Sounds good, but I would keep the Fediverse in somehow, eg “A federated discussion platform for communities”.
Technically it would be a breaking change to remove it, so in that sense it could only be removed in a version 2.0. But maybe after some time we could add a setting for admins to disable api v3, and later have it disabled by default.
The difference is that Mastodon already reached version 1.0 much earlier, but Lemmy did not. In the current development branch we made some large rewrites breaking changes early on. Over time more and more features were added, and we cleared much of the backlog of existing issues. Then instead of calling the new version 0.20 we decided to make it 1.0, which indicates that it will be stable for a very long time. After 1.0 is released we will definitely continue with smaller releases to get changes out faster, and there will be no need for breaking changes.
Ah that makes sense, thanks for the suggestion!
You mean that announcements like this should include a list with the names of all donors?
What do you mean by instance url redirection?
We discussed about merged comments for same post url, but there was no clear support for it. Many people dont care or warn that it could have unwanted side effects.
