The subreddit r/steam, about the digital game storefront, received as many other subreddits a notice to open the community again, or else the mods would be replaced by those who abide.
The mods followed suit posting the following automod message under every new post:
As ya'll likely know, we've been dark to support the blackout against reddit's antagonistic behavior towards its own userbase. The admins sent us a message today saying we must open or get removed, so here we are.
For those of you browsing this subreddit on non-official apps (Reddit is Fun, Apollo, Sync, Boost, etc), they will break on July 1st due to reddit's new policies. We're opening back up but will leave permanent stickies in the subreddit and threads to keep folks in the know.
Our Discord [contains link to https://discord.gg/steam] server is active, don't forget to check it out.
Good luck and god speed.

On visit, you quickly notice there is a community wide effort to focus on the literal topic of the given name and post about vapors, steam trains, and kitchen appliances. While posts about the gaming platform get downvoted.
I've been considering making something like RES for Lemmy. Not sure if I really have the time, but if nobody else steps up to it in the next couple of weeks, I'll see if I can.
Why not just contribute the features you want to Lemmy itself?
I'll probably do both. Not everything from RES would be accepted into lemmy-ui, I think.
RES was so fucking good. You could do pretty much anything you wanted with it the features were endless.
I think as long as you implement features as options it shouldn't be a problem.
Exactly. We don't really need RES for lemmy because we have lemmy-ui project. It's all out of my wheelhouse, but with community contributions, there's a lot of awesomeness that could be added to it as optional elements.
I'm not well practiced in Rust, but that is a good idea. I have been meaning to learn Rust. Although an extension does allow for features that may not be accepted into Lemmy.
I kind of figured something like that would pop up. I don't have the skills to even know where to start.
