ok this is really niche, but The 7th Guest series (with The 11th Hour, and The 13th Doll, of course the upcoming VR game, and maybe some other related games like Clandestiny and Tender Loving Care)

!stauf_mansion

and the Deus Ex series !deus_ex

also some communities for my mods for games (like Deus Ex Randomizer) lemmy.mods4ever.com/communities

Elevator7009, 8 months ago

Added the games, skipped the communities that are specifically about your mods for games. That feels a lot more self-promotional.

Die4Ever, 8 months ago

Haha yeah you got me! You added the correct ones though, thanks, I didn’t expect the others to get added that’s why I didn’t list them out

@fightinggames

^ I started that one a while ago, with the idea being that the fighting game community loves its gameplay clips, so we shouldn't fill up other instances with gameplay clips and cause storage problems for other servers.

I haven't promoted it (or even posted much to it yet) because I only just barely got the file storage worked out last week, but it works now so I'll starting trying to get it active. Plenty of space for gameplay clips and pictures of your arcade sticks, what with Mortal Kombat 1 coming out soon and Tekken 8 not long after that.

When I mean “specific,” I mean things like something dedicated to a certain genre, a certain video game, to gaming suggestions, to asking whether you should buy a certain game… anything that isn’t just one catch-all for any video gaming topic. So I’m not including the various !games@instance or !gaming@instance links.

I know about the following and will be adding to this list with links people comment with:

The hero we need.

Elevator7009, 8 months ago

Not saying this resentfully, honestly curious. What need does reposting my post as a comment with the instance names that I had in parentheses removed fulfill, what benefit is gained? I put the instance names there for communities that have the same name or close to it, and/or cover the same thing, so that you can tell the various same-name links apart. If it does something useful, I'll be happy to repost this when no more links are submitted with the instance names taken off. Is this kind of like what some people used to do on Reddit, reposting the post as a comment because otherwise mobile users would be unable to copy/paste the content?

Paradoxvoid, 8 months ago

If you look at the source between your post and the OP of this chain, you can see that they haven’t got any special link formatting, but the links will all work correctly for any lemmy user no matter their instance - not sure if kbin handles it correctly.

e.g. [!destroy_my_game](https://programming.dev/c/destroy_my_game) vs [email protected]

I suspect it’s just a convenience thing, since a number of your links point to kbin.cafe search results.

Elevator7009, 8 months ago (edited 8 months ago)

I can’t actually see the source of the OP of this chain on kbin.

I’m going to be honest, I have no idea why this is happening. I never thought I would be the idiot who would have to have other users reformat their unusable links and I’m upset that I am apparently that idiot and I’m incredibly frustrated by it. I thought !communityName@instanceName and @communityName@instanceName were supposed to work across the Fediverse so I didn’t have to resort to [text I want to display](URL) every time I wanted to share a community, I guess not. I cannot grasp why some of these are not working for people and are sending everyone to a kbin.cafe search link, even if they’re from Lemmy. Especially since when I used @communityName@instanceName on a different post, I was told by a Lemmy user that !communityName@instanceName was instance-agnostic and would let you access the community through your own instance. Not through mine (kbin.cafe). And that I shouldn’t use @communityName@instanceName because it would send everyone straight to that instance, where if it isn’t also your instance you’re probably not logged in so interacting would be inconvenient.

I wanted to make a helpful resource, not something people have to spend time fixing because it doesn’t work and I’m very upset that 1) it had to be fixed for me and 2) I can’t understand how to fix it myself. Apparently @communityName@instanceName should be equivalent to [text I want to display](URL) but given that listening to that Lemmy user didn’t work out for my current links I have no idea if swapping the ! for @ would actually work. Plus even if it did, interacting from your own instance would be inconvenient.

Paradoxvoid, 8 months ago

Tbh it sounds more and more like it’s a kbin interaction problem rather than anything you’re doing…

Not sure if there’s any way for you to resolve it other than getting a Beehaw mod to update it for you.

Elevator7009, 8 months ago

I think you are right, considering there’s an issue on Codeberg directly referencing my post.

adam, 8 months ago

Mmm. Looks like you've stumbled across (or at least highlighted) a bug in the way kbin federates out links in it's content. I thought I'd covered the various cases but apparently didnt.

When a post is made to kbin (or federated into it) that contains !magazineName@instance it does a best effort to make links that will work for users on that instance, but it appears that best effort applies to the outgoing federated content too - and it shouldnt, or at least, it should do something different.

I'll get a bug ticket in.

EDIT. For now I'd recommend that where possible you use fully explict links i.e. [{@|!}community@instance](https://instance/{m|c}/community)

luciferofastora, 8 months ago

Because the links actually work to send me to those communities

raptir, 8 months ago

For whatever reason, your post is just showing as !community rather than [email protected]. When I click on your links it is taking me to a kbin search results page, while when I click on ram’s links it is taking me to the communities viewed via my instance.

Edit: I’ll just add, I know it sounds like you tried to do it the right way and it didn’t work. But most people don’t even try and just copy/paste the URL as viewed from their instance so thank you for at least making an attempt!

Elevator7009, 8 months ago

A lot of those links will not work, because they have the order of the instance and community name swapped. It's !communityName@instanceName, not !instanceName@communityName. If you want what I've got so far in a more horizontal format like what you posted, here you go. I will not be updating this format, except maybe at the end after everyone's stopped submitting communities.

This is a Lemmy instance, I’d recommend posting Lemmy-formatted links ([email protected]) here, and kbin-formatted (@instance.xyz@game) links in a kbin-hosted instance.

Elevator7009, 8 months ago

I've actually been using [email protected] for this entire post, from the very start. Is it behaving as if I didn't do that for you?

Fizz, 8 months ago

I think the threadiverse is still to small to have individual game communities. I’d rather see people posting things about their games in a generic game community.

Elevator7009, 8 months ago (edited 8 months ago)

I think there's a good use for the individual communities. If everyone posted stuff about their games in a generic game community I think it would turn a lot of people off. I wouldn't want to see a constant influx of posts where I actually like only 1/8 of the games being talked about and don't understand or like the other 7/8. The general gaming communities tend to stick to big gaming news or topics most gamers might have some input on. You probably don't want a community that started out with conversations you can join in on to be overrun with my favorite niche game in a genre you hate with an artstyle you hate, but that also happens to have a super active Threadiverse community. I completely get what you're saying, the Threadiverse is pretty small and a lot of specific magazines just don't get content at a decent rate, but I appreciate that we have separate communities.

Fizz, 8 months ago

“Big gaming news” is generally just talking about game marketing and honestly kind of boring. I want to see people talking and sharing clips and things about their games. If there is to many posts from one game dominating the feed then they could be asked to form their own community.

Its easier to post to an active community than a dead one. For example I may not have played old school runescape in a while and I wouldn’t be following the osrs community but if I saw a thread about osrs on a generic gaming community I would be drawn into the conversation. I think having lots of people in one place can encourage people to Participate in threads they wouldn’t have gone out of their way to search.

Elevator7009, 8 months ago

Different people will be different, I find big gaming news interesting to talk about and don't want to see games from genres I have no interest in. I definitely see your point about active communities and how a more general community might bringing up stuff that you don't like enough to follow but do like enough to have a casual conversation about it!

Ashtear, 8 months ago

The ones for the bigger games (Baldur’s Gate 3, Starfield, probably Cyberpunk soon) have been active enough to make it work.

Fizz, 8 months ago

But they won’t be in a few months.

Ashtear, 8 months ago

Possibly. And if so, that’s perfectly okay.

I don't see it on the list or commented yet, and it is a bit sparse at the moment, but Dead Space is out there:
Dead Space - https://kbin.social/m/DeadSpace

I'm also going to suggest https://kbin.social/m/MadMax even though that magazine is for the Mad Max franchise in general, I've been posting stuff from the 2015 video game as well.

Editing for a third time because I totally forgot I mod The Sinking City mag too lol https://kbin.social/m/thesinkingcity

Elevator7009, 8 months ago

Added Dead Space and The Sinking City. Not adding Mad Max for the same reason I would refuse to add a generic Star Wars community but would allow a Knights of the Old Republic community: it's not overwhelmingly likely to be majority-gaming posts. If there was a community for just the Mad Max game, I'd be happy to add it.

I run both !currentlyplaying and !photomode

Currently Playing is a place to discuss what you’re currently playing and Photo-Mode is a place to share in game screenshots and photographs you’ve taken whilst playing.

Sorry if the links are messed up. I’ve got no idea the right way to link at this point. The whole system seems a bit of a mess.
