I really don't think Lemmy is an instant replacement for reddit, nor should we expect it to be. (Even if it was to ever replace reddit it will take years)

Communities need to grow organically here and move people over by the content that gets produced, one shouldn't really expect for entire subreddits to move over, it will always be a few people and from there it grows.

Hell take r/piracy for example which I think is one of the most "successful" migrations, some of the main mods created and instance and the same community here on Lemmy, they also promoted it heavily before leaving r/piracy to those that wanted to stay over at reddit. While the piracy community is pretty good and vibrant, it is not yhe same as it was in reddit both in volume and in content produced. I much prefer what it is here since it's a lot less meme focused but the point I'm trying to make is that even if communities migrate here, the content is different, a lot of users that produced content won't immediately come over and 8t will be its own thing.

At that point just making the community again here organically instead of relying on the og mods to vome over will probably have a similar effect.

Are you already playing it with mods? I think that boosts this game quite a lot, especially when talking about pouring hundreds of hours.

The factory building genre is way to addictive, I only have like 200 hours as of now in satisfactory, but I must say Spaghetti bases on satisfactory are a work of art

Kind of difficult since aside steam I have no clue on how many hours I have spent, especially for console games.

That aside, my most played game in steam are:

  • melvor idle with 1500 hours (it's an idle to be fair, kind of runescape but it's only a UI, you leave it open farming)
  • factorio at 700 hours (the entirety of the factory building genre is pure crack)
  • risk of rain 2 at 400 hours (it's the perfect sequel and a damn fun roguelike where you stack items until your pc breaks)

I'm currently seeding quite a few... Let's see what they can do

Yes, I discussed with an andrew tate fan that asked "why do people get angry when I don't respect pronouns of trans people" or something to that effect, a real shit stain but I think he got banned after a few hours

Jaja probably not something that happens to everyone, but I consume a lot of trashy power fantasies and isekai, which many are extremely generic. I dont mind rereading, in fact I love it, I always read two manga at the same time, a new one to explore and an old one as comfort. But I hate doing it without realizing, I have felt like an idiot reading 40 chapters only to start getting flashbacks after I reached really important events, the feeling made me uncomfortable.

Also as a sidenote, having a list has helped me gamify my reading a bit, trying to score what I consume and also crafting a little note about each thing, so I remember the feeling and thoughts I had while reading has been an extremely enjoyable habit.

That's quite a few year using one platform! Out of curiosity, have you tried other platforms or since it's been too long it isn't worth it looking at other options?

Does it work all the time or do you have to fiddle with it a bit? I never used this because I thought it would be janky and with all extensions being their own thing and having sometimes different tittles I thought it would trouble the automatic aspect and thus be no much more efficient than just logging in

I use tachiyomi but what is this media server thing you are referencing? First time hearing about this in this context, I would have thought it was like having a cloud in your home you can pull files from over LAN/internet but I dont understand how it helps with tracking. Just from what it sounds like, you download the files, create the entries (else how would you track?) and then some software tracks what you have already read/seen? If thats what it is do you delete the media after you watch/read or would that mess with the entries?

First time hearing about this, I knew tachiyomi could be used as a reader to pull local files instead of using the extensions but this kind of use has never occurred to me.

I wasnt much of a list person but after a few years I noticed I started repeating manga and anime unintentionally without remembering I had already experienced until I almost finishing which convinced me I had to keep a list in some form.

At first I just made a list in Excel, but I had to format a hard rive and lost the entire list, then I tested the sites so that it wouldnt happen again, I was going to go for MAL since I had visited their forums many times until I discovered their webtoons policy so I jumped into anilist which I use now everyday.

I'm leaving this up just in case there is a better solution, but I figured out how to exclude folders things to this post

biggest issue would be that I still prefer if they appear, just not spreaded out
