"morality"... What a fucking joke.

Microsoft can use its financial muscle to keep gamepass games free. This will push consumers to Microsoft even if the quality of the games isn't the same as Sony.

People don't prioritize quality, we've seen this in the industry over and over, people prefer cheap prices. Which is why right now most of the products are shit, because people kept buying low quality for cheap. And the same will happen with Microsoft, most of the world would rather have free gamepass games for new games than having to wait years until they become available in Sony's free tier.

This is how Microsoft will penetrate the market. I already have friends moving to Xbox because it is cheaper. Microsoft isn't a monopoly right now, but this is a long term play. Microsoft is a whale, Sony is a shrimp. Microsoft can kill Sony using its financial muscle, just like Walmart kills local competitors.

Pretty sure Mastodon users are more concerned about Threads than Twitter users.

And not being welcomed is going to stop them?

Microsoft id going to fuck the whole gaming industry with their monopoly.

Hm, seems like the client I'm using doesn't have this. I wasn't sure if this was client side or server side (account settings) matter.

I'll ask directly in Wefwef. Thanks!!

NSFW content has a very, very wide range. Wider than my personal comfort zone, but I do enjoy NSFW content that aligns with who I am. So, is there some way to block communities that have content I prefer not to see?

I wouldn't like to disable NSFW all together, but damn, I'm afraid to opening some posts now because community names and titles don't say everything about what you're about to see.

Yeha, but it would be nice if I could see content related to a single topic across multiple instances.

Imagine I want to see gaming content across multiple instances, for example. It is not possible with the current way the client works.

This could be solved with custom feeds or enabling federation on the communities with same name.

Yup. So there's no way to federate on the community view?

If I want to see content from c/gaming from multiple instances, I need to connect to each instance and browse the content on the community view.

Would be nice if users could create view groups or some kind of abstraction. This is per client, so no need for instance admins to do anything about it, federation between instances is already established.

For example, I could configure my Lemmy client to:

  • Enable same name federation on a per community basis. This means I could go to the c/gaming community of instanceA and say "show me federated content for all communities with the same base name from other federated instances".

  • Create a "Custom Feed" in which I can say "I want to see these communities here". So I could create a MyGaming custom feed and add local or federated communities that I consider relevant to a subject.

Just ideas, I don't think they are bad at all, would make Lemmy more comfortable and more abstracted from instances. It would also create a sense of cohesion between communities from different instances.

 

Let's say I have 2 instances that are federated: instanceA and instanceB.

These instances have many communities, and two of them has the same name. The "c/comX". So there is comX@instanceA and comX@instanceB.

I know that if I have an user in instanceA, I can see content from instanceB in the "All" view of the Lemmy UI. But what if I only want to see the "comX" posts?

I went into the community view for comX in instanceA and could only see posts from that same instance. Is there a way to see posts from a specific community but fetching posts from federated servers with the same community name?

Like a view in which I can see all posts from comX@instanceA and comX@instanceB, and all the other instances with comX that are federated with instanceA too.

Hey, I see you have experience with Lemmy and I don't see any place to ask this type of questions.

I was checking a community in an instance and realized that there were no federated posts. Are federated posts only visible from the ALL view? I was hoping for community browsing to also have a federated experience to enhance content. For example, if I want to browse the Gaming community of an instance, why shouldn't I see gaming communities from other instances?

I understand this type of federation would require more interaction than instance to instance federation, but still, would be amazing to see more content when checking communities.

I can't feel anything. That's what she said :(
