MultiplicityPOE here, I help run the POE Discord and POE subreddit
With reddit.com/r/pathofexile and other subreddits going dark due to Reddit's API Changes, it made sense to me to have an alternative platform to post on, possibly just during this window, but maybe beyond, who knows
Hi, check out your user settings, there are a few themes there including a dark mode. It's all CSS based so if you find a cool custom theme online, or make one yourself, I can upload it so everyone can use it!
Nice, thank you for creating this. I may be wrong, because I'm pretty new to this platform, but I noticed this instance isn't linked to other Lemmy instances, is that on purpose? Or is it in the process of being linked?
Hiya, I haven't explicitly linked this instance to any others yet, but if you have an instance you'd like us to link to, give them a shout out! I need to manually add them.
I'll add some of the larger well known instances here later tonight to make it easy for people already using one
hello, thanks for creating this instance, I think its not obvious to people from other instances that pathofexile is using a whitelist, so I made a list of popular instances (~1k users or so) that are not yet whitelisted:
It'll be private for at least 48 hours, then the subreddit mods will discuss again based on what reddit and the coordinated blackout subreddits are going, and either stay private, go public but no new posts (read only), or open fully. It all depends on what reddit does and the rest of the striking subreddits
Hello. I really don't understand this new network yet. Fediverse? Lemmy?
Fediverse is the whole thing and Lemmy, Mastodon and all those others are part of it?
@[email protected] what do you mean with that it's not linked to other Lemmy instances?
I thought I could use the account I created here use on all the other things too?
Lemmy instances need to be "connected" to each other so that the users from other instances can interact. I read about it real quick yesterday, but it seems that it's not "magical". It seems some instances are not connected on purpose, so they are closed communities. Also the instance owner can choose to block some instance.
It's an interesting setup. Each instance can act like their own version of reddit, and have their own communities or "subreddits" to divide up the instance, or each instance can act like their own subreddit to the greater lemmy community. Since it's possible to connect to other Lemmy instances, if the instance you belong to allows it, you can create an account here and then go to other instances to use their gaming community. It can also connect to non-Lemmy federated content like Kbin and Mastodon.
The weird part here is that there can be fracturing. There could be a PoE community on Kbin, there could be a PoE community within Lemmy.ml, or Lemmy.world, and there could be a dedicated PoE instance here made up of multiple PoE communities.
