  • I found I had to block a large number of communities from my feed that were very narrow minded. Once I did some diligent editing, however, Lemmy has become my daily browse and I’m happy with the change. I still use reddit for some of the niche communities that don’t have a counterpart here, but the larger topics (news, memes, technology) are well covered and open to discourse.









  • It took me more than a few minutes to realize that this is posted on Lemmy and not in one of the small subreddits I still follow.

    As a loooong time battletech fan I am SO happy with the resurgence this franchise is seeing, and that PGI has actually listened to and involved fans in the creation and maintenance of their products.

    For those who aren’t familiar, Mechwarrior Online, originally relased in 2013, was in end-of-life maintenance mode when PGI (the dev company) decided to effectively hand control of the game over to a small group of dedicated fans. That group, now called “The Cauldron” have brought in a slew of new content and balance updates, even new game modes.

    This, coupled with an AMAZING game released in 2018by Harebrained Schemes, as well as some really bad moves by Games Workshop,has lead to major resurgence in the Battletech franchise.

    For everyone else who remembers playing Mechwarrior 2 that came with a joystick back in 199whatever, I think this will be a great next chaoter in the story!
