Many specific subreddits don't have equivalents yet; check Communities (top bar on website)/All. On Jerboa the Communities button is the three dots on the bottom bar: https://reddthat.com/post/8623

What are some of your LEAST favorite game mechanics? in c/gaming@beehaw.org

[–] Phrax@reddthat.com 6 points 2 years ago

I hate RNG-heavy progression that discourages playing the actual game.

Path of Exile had terrible loot droprates and gamble crafting when I last played in Ritual League. Starting a league = poring YouTube for safe league starter builds to follow step by step. Gearing up = only picking up currency and buying items from other players on a website. Making $$$ = flipping items (buy low sell high) in hideout (personal town).

Path of Champions (PvE gamemode in Legends of Runeterra) drops shards and fragments to unlock new champions and relics that add a passive effect. Drops are random and not duplicate protected. Champions need 2 star upgrades totalling their unlock cost to feel playable. Optimal progression = speedrunning dailies/weeklies, 2-starring meta champs, and logging out.

What kinds of things from reddit would you like to see Lemmy avoid as the user base grows? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I actually used uBlock Origin to hide my karma in the top right corner from myself when it was shown by default. I found commenting less stressful that way.

for the Reddit refugees, do you also feel a bit heartbroken? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

It reminds me of when I tried switching to Linux (from Windows). Functional but lacking a lot of mainstream software, especially games. Lemmy feels way easier to use like a normal website, but there is a feeling almost akin to homesickness.

Reddit refugees, has your favorite sub migrated already? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Game-specific subreddits (i.e., LegendsofRuneterra, PathofChampions, CustomLoR, MagicArena, leagueoflegends, starcraft, Factorio, LastEpoch, ftlgame). Warframe@dormi.zone looks good.

Franchise-specific subreddits like Batman. !star_wars@lemmy.world looks good.

Entertainment (i.e., Showerthoughts, oddlysatisfying, interestingasfuck, DesignDesign, EngineeringPorn, OldSchoolCool).

Niche art (i.e., PixelArt, RetroFuturism, cassettefuturism, TheNightFeeling).

I expect the first two categories (where I commented most) to be the slowest to move here.
