  • Use the ships log computer to give you an objective. It should have some areas filled in now from your exploring. Find something to do from there.

    Once you start blasting off with an objective it becomes so much more fun.

    You haven’t been playing wrong, but the transition from aimlessly exploring to “going out on a mission” is something that loses people.













  • My guess since both apps doing this model have immediately removed their own advertising is that they are exempt from the api pricing for a few months.

    I can’t see either dev cutting off their revenue stream (app ads) and then eating the api cost on the same day. Especially if users swarm to them as they are the last standing 3rd party app on their platform. Individuals wouldn’t take on that kind of liability.


  • This seems quite clever by Reddit. It looks like there’s some deal that if they remove ads from their apps they get free api usage for a few months. Seems suspicous that both apps doing this have removed ads.

    This will soften the blow a little for Reddit as now at least 1 decent sized 3rd party app on each platform (Android/IOS) will continue to work for a while.

    A clever PR move that changes nothing.


  • Please don’t feed them data about fediverse instances by querying new domain names.

    I don’t believe searching for domains will feed them data as such. You can crawl the lemmyverse starting from a few known servers. It’s how awesome-lemmy-instances works.

    what is exactly the purpose of knowing who is blocked by whom?

    Before joining an instance it seemed useful to get an idea of their moderation policy. It just gives transparency as to that instance’s policies, as well insight into how the rest of the fediverse views that instance.

    I wasn’t aware it was created by known bad actors and it wasn’t my intention to promote them. It was just a useful tool.
