For the past couple of weeks, some of us moderators of the subreddit r/Silksong, have been working on an exciting project. We’ve created a lemmy instance for fans of indie games. We officially run and support this instance and the Silksong community on it. Please check it out at !Silksong@indie-ver.se
I invite you, current users of the Fedi-verse, to join us at @indie-ver.se, subscribe and interact with the communities there, as they grow. So we can support both a more free internet, and indie game communities. See you soon!
also r/Balatro joined at !Balatro@indie-ver.se
Hyphen seems to have broken the link, at least for me.
That happens on some frontends, like Boost. Works fine on the website!
As a Boost user, can confirm
Welcome!
Not my favorite indie game but glad to have a place for them on the verse.
Bompanada! (Am I doing that right? I don’t actually speak your language.)
SHAW!
When your team has a moment, I would recommend setting up your instance on https://lemmy-federate.com/instances
This will automatically add your future communities onto other people’s instances so that users can immediately start using them. It helps a lot with community discovery. You can also send out the existing communities after the instance is registered.
I’m not by a computer right now, but I can send over our settings choices if you have any issues.
Well, I am having trouble even registering indie-ver.se on the website. It says I am not guaranteed on fediseer, but the instance has been guaranteed by feddit.uk and endorsed by a few other instances. I’ve made an issue on the lemmy-federate GitHub and DM’ed the creator on Lemmy. Hopefully the issue can be quickly resolved.
Right yes, when we set up piefed.ca we also had to wait a day or so before we could sign in on lemmy-federate. There may be a short waiting period for the information to refresh. Hopefully it works out :)
Oh, thanks. I will be patient then.
Considering hytale is basically an indie game rn will there be a community for it there?
You are free to create the community yourself!
That’s amazing, welcome! I look forward to these communities growing.
The first link was broken for me, here are the 4 communities so far with clickable links for anyone else that wanted it:
I think it’s my front-end which made the links into links with
[]()markdown syntax as well. I’m gonna fix that. Thanks!Thank you!
I’m also trying to help some of the new users on the linked posts but I’m running into Reddit’s Karma requirements. I don’t mind passing along the comments for a mod or someone else to post instead 😄
I had seen this a bit early, I could’ve approved you, so that you could skip over the requirements. Thanks for the help anyways!
No problem! Thank you for approving those :)
That markdown doesn’t work well for community links. Sadly the Voyager app does wrap community links in markdown too, which deactivates the cross-instance-linking that was supposed to be achieved with this link format.
Writing them in plain text, without markdown, works best in my experience:
Indie-ver.se is a great domain name
Thank you! I think it’s a bit more fun than some other Lemmy domains.
