Perfect, been waiting for this since the original apps were sold out and fossify was announced!

2·11 months agoI do too! Its incredibly handy
A good perspective I didn’t have.
What I meant is I have no idea how long it exists, so people might not have the luxury of using it to check for existing communities.
Didn’t mean to start a panic with bad wording :)
That’s partilly more on the people creating duplicates without looking if the community doesn’t exist already.
Granted, the lemmy explorer tool might not be around for too long for people to be easily able to - since someone on you instance needs to known a community exists on other instance and access it for everyone to see it. And some people might just not be aware of it as well.
I followed the bellow gamesnon reddit (excluding those that already have some communities on Lemmy (some reasonably active, some less so) or are almost dead games):
Albion Online (community exists but empty).
Ashes of Creation
Book of Travels (this is super niche though)
Kingdom Come: Deliverance (community exists but empty)
New World
Wayfinder
V Rising (community exists but empty)
This is actually a shorter list than expected, but have similar issue with other hobbies as well. Might hve missed some too.
Will check it out, thanks. I was thinking about starting some and put in some work but I woldn’t have the time necessary to invest into it unfortunately. If that changes I will letmyself known though!
How have you found about it? Just curious, as I barely heard bout it during the Great API Exodus when you’d expect it would ve talked about most. It was lucky, really so I imagine your story was even more?
Also more specific communities, even for the geeky stuff. For example gaming communities are decently active, but not much for specific games.
Huh. I always wondered. When I’m poiring our dog water to the bowl when hiking, he always prefers to drink “from the bottle” - the bowl is there basically to catch the rest to return to the bottle (or for the other dog to drink). Guess now I maybe know why he does it.
