  • Communities is the official term which I use. I’m not a stickler so you can call them sublemmies, sublems, subworlds, subhaws, subs, whatever. I know people here would rather disassociate from that site that many migrated away from.

    I liked the idea of burrows, so if you have creative terms for it people tend to appreciate it. Yeehive was another cute idea over on Beehaw.

    On your server, you can use server/c/community_name (e.g. lemmy.world/c/asklemmy ). A more commonly accepted approach now is to use !community_name@server (e.g. !asklemmy@lemmy.world).


  • Hey, thanks for being honest about it.

    You’re right, the sheer size of Reddit means it’s hard to deny that the variety of discussion topics is much greater than on Lemmy. The decentralized servers model also means it’s slightly more difficult to find and grow small communities.

    What I like though is that in general, posters on Lemmy, even the ones that repost old memes from elsewhere, try to genuinely engage with other commentors.






  • Steam is a legitimate value add for sellers and buyers/users, that justifies its 30% cut. Other than free games, Epic has a seemingly easy-to-integrate online networking system, that’s about it. Steam has a modding platform, broadcasting, remote “parsec”-like controller emulator, Linux support, content sharing, forums and a developer news feed. That’s quite a lot.

    What makes me stick with them is that they don’t preclude Steam and other gaming users from using alternatives but simply compete with their own well-made system… plenty of games have their own cross-platform mod-launchers that aren’t workshop for example. Steamworks DRM isn’t required and Steam networking services for multiplayer aren’t mandatory either.

    That said, itch and GoG are great alternatives where they have games available. I’d just like GoG to provide better Linux support.
