As a Star Citizen player, I’m all for other games stepping up with some real competition.

I can’t wait to hop back in to No Mans Sky and check out this update.

That being said, this isn’t an update that has implemented all of what makes Star Citizen stand out. We still don’t have hundreds of players able to congregate on a single ship. AI pathing/tactics in NMS is very basic. We don’t have cities/interiors on the scale that Star Citizen has. A single planet doesn’t have much of a variance to their biomes (no mixes of tundra/desert, forest, high altitude, low altitude, wetland etc.). We’re mostly limited to just Cave, Surface, and Underwater biomes.

I’m hoping that we start to see more complex planets with the work being done on Light No Fire. I’m definitely looking forward to future updates on this game.

This game was a lot of fun for the demo they released a short time ago (servers aren’t up anymore).

For anyone with one of these GE fridges. If you read the fine print in the owner’s manual, they will send you a bypass plug for free (just once) if you call and ask for one. You will need to provide the serial number of the fridge.

The best way to handle transitioning from YouTube is to use GrayJay. Follow creators that you like and when any of them have a platform on a different service, subscribe to them there.

Besides YouTube, it supports any PeerTube instance, Patreon, Twitch, Nebula, Odysee, Rumble, Dailymotion, Ted Talks, etc.

I joined the fediverse when Reddit made their API changes.

For me, personally, I found Kbin/Mbin to be a sort of hybrid between Twitter and Reddit, and I wasn’t a fan of the layout. Lemmy felt a lot more like the Reddit-like experience I was looking for.

However, PieFed then came along and it feels like Reddit, but has features that cater to the Fediverse much better than Lemmy does (such as being able to combine communities into feeds, crosspost handling,), as well as other features that are great (polls, spoiler blur for image posts, etc.).

I don’t remember the exact search, but it had something to do with Star Citizen. A link to a post from that Lemmy.world community was fairly high on a DuckDuckGo search result.

Along with a few other users, I’ve posted some useful links and info in the community over there. It looks like that work is starting to pay off.

I find it useful to sign up for multiple accounts and then segregate those into browsing/posting habits for different categories. One for gaming (or other relaxed communities), one for science & tech, one for politics that I only occasionally dip into, one that’s a voting only account, etc.

At the very least, you can take a break from communities that can easily be more toxic, whenever you want. If downvotes bother you, I would also suggest signing up with a fediverse instance that disables downvotes.

I’ve actually started to see some results from Lemmy.world in DuckDuckGo search results.

I’ve tested PieFed out for a bit, and I like what they have going on. It uses ActivityPub, just like Mastadon or Lemmy. It’s mostly similar to Lemmy, but it has some additional features that are awesome:

• Feeds - In PieFed you can combine multiple communities into a single feed (makes it so much easier to browse through all of the different c/technology posts from Lemmy.world, lemmy.zip, Beehaw, programming.dev, etc.).
• Crosspost View - If a post has been crossposted, scrolling through the comments is organized into sections from each community that the post was crossposted into.
• Delayed posting - Set a future time for when you want your post/comment to be posted.
• Post tagging - Ability to tag a post as a spoiler, discussion, question/answered etc.
• Spoiler tags on a post blur out images.
• User tagging - Public tags for anyone to see.

I don’t think the official Reddit app has ever supported this, unless it’s a new feature?

Only 3rd party apps supported this, but a lot of those have been killed off. You might still be able to access this feature through old.Reddit:

I’m not sure if you meant “multi-communities”.

In the fediverse, PieFed is a useful one where you can combine different communities into “feeds”.

For instance, there are a bunch of different “technology” communities, but all of their posts are combined into this feed: https://piefed.social/f/tech

In android, if you go to the website, then click on the 3 dots -> Add to Homescreen -> Install
Then you’ll be able to use PieFed and browse communities in the way (i think) you’re asking.

Otherwise this is also possible with the Android app “Eternity” which let’s you create your own “Multicommunity”. The advantage to the PieFed one is that someone else has already scoured the fediverse for you and combined them.

This is awesome! I hope more groups start doing this.
Edit: Are they using a script/tool for this, or are they manually copying over the questions and answers?

Hmm a very interesting point. And I don’t think we want to implement a “blue check” symbol for verified accounts.

So many good quality of life fixes. It’s definitely going to be a better experience if I get a friend to try it out.

True, but the coolest thing is it just goes to show another benefit of the fediverse. We’re still able to post/comment on here with alts even when their servers are having issues.
