Can we please never refer to RFK Jr as RFK? Honestly I'd be fine if we never mentioned him at all, but letting him take over the name of the real RFK is a fucking travesty and I will not stand for it.

Idk if admins need to manually approve registration applications for Mbin. Many smaller Lemmy instances are set up that way, so it may also be the case for Mbin.

Regardless, whether the registration is reviewed manually or automatically, the admin is the one who will be able to help you.

It'll be huge in the context of Lemmy, despite only representing a small percentage of Reddit's total userbase.

Yeah the more I look into it, I see that it takes direct inspiration from Total Annihilation and SupCom. I messaged my friends who used to play Forged Alliance with me and at least a couple of them have already played this game.

I've been waiting for over a decade for a new game in this mold. It's not just an RTS, it's a very specific kind of strategic RTS that has a much greater scale than a tactical RTS like Starcraft. I like that it's more focused on macro than micro.

And the fact you can do 16 player matches is just epic. Supreme Commander was originally limited to 4v4 and then they eventually modded in the ability to play 6v6, but it would frequently cause the framerate to drop to slideshow levels. Can't wait to try this game out!

Wow this actually looks amazing. Reminds me of Supreme Commander, I used to play Forged Alliance Forever back in the day. Good times.

Interesting to see Lemmy from the perspective of a Mastodon user. I never used Twitter and I have no interest in Mastodon, but it certainly seems like a tremendous advantage to be able to cross pollinate with them, given their sizeable userbase. There is definitely more work to be done on streamlining federation between platforms, but its an inherently tricky problem so I'm not surprised.

Lemmy/Piefed/Mbin are still at the stage where they are trying to complete their own core features, so there hasn't been as much focus on bridging to the rest of the fediverse. Mastodon is a more mature software so they probably had more time to work on extra features like cross-platform federation.

A) It's not literally every post

B) Stop using reddit. Problem solved.

This sounds like something Lemmy would also really benefit from.
