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!

This particular thing IS a common-sense technicality. Without it, every new instance, the second it came online, would start to try and mirror THE ENTIRE FEDIVERSE.

The ideal would be some kind of in-between, but that's a lot more complex, and involves the developers making decisions for you in terms of what to pull in and what not to.

Yes, hence why I said I understand why it needs to remain opt-in. It still doesn't change the fact that it's a burdensome and inconvenient quirk.

Not that I have a better solution to propose either, mind. Feels like one of those things that just is what it is, an unfortunate downside of the federated design.
