Workers and Resources: Soviet Republic. It doesn’t have bike lanes but you can set a fully pedestrianised city, as emergency vehicles can use footpaths if needed. It also has trains, trams, buses and trolleybuses. Also helicopters, which are cool but impractical most of the time. The public transport line management is pretty in depth too, you can have pick up only spots, spots specific for workers or students, drop off only, or a bunch of other parameters. It’s really good.

It also has resource management, but the difficulty settings are really granular so you can adjust it to however you like.

I haven’t seen Saga, but I feel the chronological cut would lead to a loss of punch in the scenes with young Vito. Part of it is knowing where he ends up and what happens, and comparing that to his beginnings.

Hell yeah, I’m concerned that if SDF decides to block instance they will include Lemmygrad and Hexbear so I might make an account on yours. I assume you’re defederated from stuff like exploding heads, rammy, and burggitt?

Actually just checked your list, perfect blocked instances list and absolutely sick instance theme. Love it. I’m in 😎

I made my first account on aussie.zone since I’m Australian but wanted access to Lemmygrad, and now Hexbear. Aussie.zone is great apart from that, I’d love a local feed full of Australian stuff.

I like the sound of that, is hexbear federated with your instance yet?

Hexbear was a fork of Lemmy made by former chapotraphouse users when they were booted off Reddit. They have recently worked to refederate with a select number of instances, with the potential of adding more in the future if it doesn’t disrupt the community they’ve built. Luckily for me, SDF is in the whitelist, although I also have an account on Grad and TTRPG.

Lemmy.world preemptively defederated with them based on a pretty bad reading of a hexbear announcement on how to behave in other instances, despite world’s reluctance on federating from exploding heads originally.

Because of the unfortunate centralisation that’s happened, with so many people being directed to lemmy.world or choosing to go there, a big DDoS attack on world would disrupt a lot of communities that people on other instances use. It’s in everyone’s interests to spread the load more, which is why I find it sad when some communities migrate to world. UnixPorn was one, although it was already on lemmy.ml which is a larger instance too

For me, I would want to to federate and not be defederated by with Lemmygrad and Hexbear, while also having the same for things like aussie.zone, pathfinder.social, slrpnk.net, and the larger instances so I can pick out good communities from them. Stability matters more than size for me, I have no issues with the all feed and actually have had to block some communities due to spam or lack of interest as it is.

Also, is it the case that it only shows communities someone is subscribed to in all, or is it discovered communities?

I only found firefish the other day but 'like Mastodon but cool" is a perfect way to describe it.

Best instance, I hope they make a firefish one.

Probably The Crew or Race for the Galaxy. Neither are big games, but that helps rather than hinders. Everyone is always up for a go in between or before other games, and often they become the main event once everyone gets into them.
