I remember Mastodon was working on groups so I imagine interaction from Mastodon to Lemmy would improve. Bonfire is rolling out groups pretty soon it seems. I’ve been trying it for a while now and I access both microblogs and groups from Bonfire.

likewise, i’ve rarely if ever seen a post from lemmy on mastodon. these two platforms just don’t seem to interact much. the fediverse is already very small. fragmenting it even further by having multiple services that basically don’t talk to each other is not good

I think part of this is the initial desire to model Fediverse platforms after mainstream counterparts. So you have Instagram-but-federated, Twitter-but-federated, Reddit-but-federated, YouTube-but-federated, TikTok-but-federated. These platforms don’t really interact with each other directly, so the Fediverse ended up modeling that incompatibility, too.

That’s the area projects like Mbin and Bonfire seem to be better at.

I don’t think it will ever conclude. It does get better but not consistently. Most times I’d still get fatigued from all the dialogue but there are very rewarding moments at the end of some quests that make it feel worth it.

The quests that have been consistently good in my opinion are the “intermission quests” - the last major quest of each region before the next. The last quest of Sumeru is the most memorable one for me.

Genshin Impact does storytelling really bad but I don’t know how to explain why. I’m not aversed to games with lengthy dialogue (I love the Persona games for example), but Genshin Impact feels like a slog to sit through 95% of the time.

Out of curiosity, other than fmhy.ml, lemmy.ml, and lemmygrad.ml, what other Lemmy instances were using .ml domains? Also, how are the latter two still running but fmhy.ml isn’t?

edit: This has triggered a chain of comments I wasn’t expecting. I’d appreciate it if someone can answer on a technical level. Is the latter two using a different registrar or name server which is why it still works for them?

There’s a lot of subs like these which I don’t want to name. Basically, subs with anti-corpo principles but refuses to leave corpo Reddit. I’m happy for the subs who are still dark even until now (and even more reason to be now that Reddit is deleting older DMs and removing awards/coins).

My favorite r/selfhosted comment.
