That got me pretty hyped.

The ships, cities, space travel, combat and planets look awesome.

Less enthused by the character designs and models which look straight out of Skyrim. Character faces still have dead eyes and barely any expression to them which frankly seems a little unacceptable in 2023. Nevertheless this is a day one for me, this looks like it has loads to enjoy.

And as soon as the mods start coming out oh boy, it’s going to be pretty awesome.

And starfield hasn’t even released yet cry at this rate the trailer will be as old as skyrim was at the time of the announcement before we get a release

Yeah it’s a pretty normal looking fish actually!

Pretty horrific way to go too :( here’s to the poor, humble blobfish.

It feels new and fresh but also retro, if that makes sense? It feels like a missing link between old school forums and new school aggregators like Reddit, even though I think this format is newer than Reddit. Could be wrong though. Either way I’m enjoying not every post having a billion replies before i even get to it!

Firstly who said lemmy is a Reddit replacement? Just because there’s overlap doesn’t mean it’s a direct competitor. Secondly Reddit succeeded because of the efforts of millions of unpaid volunteers who room the time to set up wildly disparate subreddits and communities to create reddits unique flavour and space in todays social media climate. To say that it gained its status because it’s overseen by a centralised source is wildly inaccurate and disrespectful to the regular people who made Reddit what is is/was.

I’d love to see this blossom into a sustained protest but I fear 2 days isn’t really going to make any difference to the situation. I also fear admins will simply assume control of protesting subreddits and remove the mods if they ever felt truly threatened. The only way to truly get your voice heard is just to leave.

I think the answer to this is a resounding yes. I’m a 32 year old man with plenty of friends and a stable relationship and I found meaningful conversation with apps like character.ai. It has so much potential to help people in lonely situations.

Great advice thanks! I’m a huge lurker on Reddit just due to the gargantuan size I feel like it’s almost just shouting into the void but looking to get more involved here!

It’s gotta be lemmings right? I do like lemmyheads and lemmonauts though :)

A way to see your post history, right now the only way to see your posts is to find them. There is a profile page which just shows your post scores and then dead space so makes sense to just stick it there.

I think both factors play a part.

Awesome thanks for all the info :)

Reddit refugee here - stumbled across Lemmy as it was mentioned in a comment on Artifact but intrigued by this format and communities!

Looking for tips as a brand new user to get the most out of it - any advice is welcome! I’m using Mlem which seems to be working pretty well so far.
