Yeah I would agree that for casual conversation Discord overtook for me. I was lurking r/warframe and after losing pc capable running game started gacha and discussed on r/Arknights. So with api fiasco I left Reddit and tried Mastodon... have account and check it out but there is no activity on #arknights , joined discord server for R/Arknights that was made during blackout and still going strong. Like I got better of R/Arknights and not on Reddit. People some use Reddit, some silently, some like me abandoned and even people who never used Reddit joined. Moderating m/Arknights on Kbin but with Kbin dev having unlucky strike and generally hopping he have health to both have normalcy and work on Kbin. So without proper mod tools and some broken features (like webp not displaying, where microblogs from Misskey converts to webp to consolidate space) and some other little wants that I would propose if I knew there would be implemented.

Using Misskey.io before it closed registration to Japanese only (happens when everyone was leaving twitter for Musk dumb thing he implemented). With Misskey at least found artists and players for Arknights but as it is Japanese instance, they only thing I can do is share art so #arknights tag weren't dead on Mastodon.social .

So TL DR left Reddit, joined sub Reddit discord server which is where I spend most of my leisure time, using Mastodon for news, Kbin for moderation (but no one visits, at least no spam as I clean up) and news , Misskey for fan art.

Misskey is microblog compared to Lemmy or Kbin , but still it's fun to use albeit more demanding on resources. While Kbin/Lemmy see karma as numbers, Mastodon (main branch) as likes, Misskey have emoji's so you can convey your feelings without making short replies.
Sure some people will say that's dumb or useless, but hey when you see some art and having only ❤️ instead of 🆒 or :cool__i: or :otoge_rank_aaa: and so on.
There is many other neat features but the main point of this comment is.
You can join in on conversation without restricting yourself to limitations imposed by soft/server one use.
Add on top that you can self host which is not for everyone but people having their whole identity tied to their own space instead of Twitter/Youtube/Twitch etc.

~~Which would be true if Misskey wouldn't send error and deny me sending message, so we still far off in that point.~~

As someone who have years in arknights gacha can say it is good. The biggest joke is that Hypergryph company behind Arknights creation is a music company and then Gacha and etc. So music direction is always great in all PV for events or character songs. I would say they first season bit lore heavy and is worst in terms of story, mostly rough start of gacha story that was revised. Second season and Third is where the peak of AK storytelling... There is a lot to cover storywise so 3rd season won't end Chapter one (out of 2 which ending soon on CN, global is behind as typical gacha but by 6 months only).
So moving away my bias as gamer and purely on anime. I would say it's decent and good if you can close your eyes on some aspects. The minus are typical anime tropes of child protagonist, amnesiac main character, child is face of the organization. Pluses would be that it is really grounded world building with big premise on suffering of incurable disease and treatment of poor/ill/different race and even specific racism against one race.
So give it a thought, if you enjoyed a bit first season then second will be even better.

Thanks for the hard work!
Even though I don't post much so mostly ignore all those messages, still it is a big problem. Until we get it sorted out having tools like these helps stop "bleeding" by people who want to use kbin.
Had few pop up on my magazine ~~even though there is barely a traction~~ but saw few times bloat when posted on other magazines which is really discouraging.

Chapter 13 is out! Change of mechanic in chapter release, you get sanity boosters and material loot from spending sanity, so no more chance for drop and no more 1-7 being best farm stage .

Delphine is our new chapter welfare.

The banner that came along has Hoeder, Quercus, Vendela and Verdant.

Remember that doing at maximum difficulty also rewards all lower difficulties first time rewards as well.

Event PV
Also Oldwell.info if you curios what will be next
~~I didn't done Design of strife thread due event being so hard that people who need guides know where to find them~~
~~edited due being confused how mechanic worked~~

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Played 1,2,4 and 5 .
Mechanics I would say I liked 4 compared to 1,2 while 5 has formula a bit reinvented so it's different at all in good and bad ways.
Story wise 1,2 and 4 are great, 5 story is meh.
So if you want to try after 4 the 5th... Just tune out of the story, it's not even close to others. Personal stories in 5 are kinda good but overall story is trash.
So yeah Valvatorez main plot is great so definitely get that one if you itching for Disgaea.

I wanted to try free tier, but amount of time spending to wait in line to play a game was too much.add in that it was laggy and you can't just leave and come back. Now they will get free ad space for people who didn't even try service yet due... Amount of wait time in line. But speaking as someone who is redirected to Russian servers by default (too small country to have local server of course). Wonder how free tier experience for others in "good" countries.

Think you should mention that self hosting is okay but you have to pay attention to plugins you use.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Everyone gives solid advice, so I will point you to trusty https://fedidb.org/software .
Mostly to see stats of Fediverse but also the soft that is available. Maybe you find one that suit you.

I saw many artists going to Misskey.io because it's main instance even English speaking ones until they gone back to twitter, stayed on Misskey or half measures. Then because of EN influx in mainly Japanese server , Misskey.io closed doors to non-Japanese add in fact that Misskey or rather any federated service can't oblige to European Union protection standard which means they can't operate in EU officially.
So I see lots of messages on Misskey about artists making blue sky accounts as well... All depends where they get more views I guess or have people supporting them around.
