What does it mean to force a sub open? Did Reddit remove the mods ability to make the sub private?

We need an actual official setup tutorial that is kept up to date. The existing documentation for the Docker setup process is extremely bare-bones, and it doesn't even link to the right config files. There are some unofficial tutorials out there that are better, but they're outdated and they link to the wrong config files too.

If big instances are already defederating from each other then I don't see how Lemmy can grow like many of us want it to. I mean, now any new user who randomly chooses Lemmy.World as their server is going to get a much worse Lemmy experience and they won't even be aware of it. (Come to think of it, maybe I'm getting a lesser experience right now because maybe my server defederated from another big server that I'm not aware of.) This seems like a flawed system, or at least it seems like a system that isn't intended to have much user growth.

I don't think there's enough activity on Lemmy (yet) to justify specific communities like that. Gaming@beehaw is the only gaming community I see much traction in.

I think this is the kind of game you can't really judge just by watching gameplay footage. I haven't played an Armored Core game before, but I assume it's going to be all about the gameplay loop of upgrading your mech so you can complete harder missions so you can upgrade your mech more. If the game is able to make that loop really addicting then I'm sure this game will be great.

This sounds like a very unpleasant way to read a book, but I'm glad it exists.

Thanks for the info. Sounds like Docker isn't the way to go unless I want to spend a lot of time troubleshooting issues. Have you tried the Ansible method? Is it any easier or more reliable than the Docker method?

I used Namecheap but I can switch to anything. I haven't heard of Cloudflare. How would switching to it affect the setup process?

The point is that you should get your news from real news websites that employ real journalists

I think the main point of decentralization is to spread the burden of hosting around so that no individual has control of the system. I think having themed servers like what you're suggesting would aid in discoverability of different communities, but the downside is that that would mean individual servers would have monopolies on certain subjects.

It's really not clear what exactly they canceled, since they never announced much to begin with. I think they just scrapped the talent trees?

The idea of charging for PvE missions sounds bad on the surface (especially given the attitude surrounding Overwatch 2 at the moment) but honestly I think this sounds totally fine. I mean it's basically like a paid expansion, which is a rare thing nowadays in the age of live service games. Personally I like the idea of paying a finite amount of money for a finite amount of content. The only question is whether these three missions are actually fun and replayable enough to be worth $15.
