As an admin, there is no way I can be across all of the niche subtleties and naming schemes of communities I'm not involved in. If I have to group them, I'm going to get it wrong.
If it's going to sit anywhere above the individual level, it should be at the community mod level, not the instance admin level. But of course, many community mods aren't going to want to actively point people at other larger communities that overlap with theirs.
@Matte I haven't found that. I mean, luck is definitely involved of course, because it has dice, but with good preparation, you can mitigate the luck elements, and it becomes more a game of longer term planning than make or break based on a single roll.
That being said, Rallyman Dirt also has an interesting change that addresses part of that. The lead player rolls different white dice to the other players, with a slightly higher chance of failure. So being in first place for too long increases your risk, but giving up first place makes it hard to be certain you'll get it back.
I always knew my gender was "wrong". It was a workmate (and now close friend) transitioning that made me realise that my gender being "wrong" meant that I'm trans, and that transition was possible.
As for my orientation, that was a much longer and more confusing journey. It brought me so much more pain and uncertainty than my gender ever did. I've given up trying to find the right labels, but that's more an admission of defeat than ownership of who I am.
@orbit I've been play from Countess Daurama Daura of Kano in 867, as she has a scripted event that lets you play as female preference from the start. There is also an achievement related to starting as her, called Mother of Us All, but I'm not trying to get that one, as it involves religious conversion, and that's not my favourite part of the game
I added them all last night. I'm part way through a playthrough so I'm not sure how much of a difference that makes, but I'm really liking Community Flavor Pack and Prisoner's of War. Having to move prisoners and commanders around is great. I'm also playing in Africa at the moment, and the flavor pack has really brought the area to life!
As an instance admin, the instances that I block are explicitly ones that I don't want my users to be able to subscribe to for any reason because they are full of bigotry and hate.
If I have a user that really wants to subscribe to a blocked instance, then chances are my instance is the wrong one for them.
@beto It might be a good idea to not do that thing that happened with Mastodon, where everyone thinks the Mastodon is the Fediverse. There is more to the #threadiverse than just lemmy!
tbh, there is no such instance. Not blocking any other instances is often a reason to be blocked by other instances.
An instance that blocks no one is in effect a "free" speech instance that prioritises the right to be bigoted over the need to provide safe spaces for folk. And that means that instances that value the need for safe spaces over "free" speech are going to block the instances that don't block anyone else as a means of creating and maintaining that safe space.
@Kichae As I understand it, the proposal is basically just an interface thing at the user level. So a user can choose to display multiple technology groups from different instances together.
@knova You have to search for the remote community and subscribe to it. It will then appear in the list of communities you can choose from when you are composing a new post
