I really like this design. Well done!

Looking at it on my desktop right now, I'm seeing everything I'd expect, for both local and federated communities. Most typically lately, I'm browsing on my phone, but that's just hitting my instance directly via mobile Firefox, not using an app, so I can't imagine that would have meaningfully different results.

Sounds most likely that this is just a perceptual thing where I'm not consciously realizing that communities Y and Z are posting way more frequently than community X, making me feel like I'm "missing" posts from X that are then trivially found when I go to X directly.

I'll keep an eye out for this a bit more consciously for the next little while and see if that's what's actually going on.

I'm sorting by New. My expectation was a linear chronological feed of posts across all subscribed instances. And yeah, I'm still missing some posts in that view.

Yeah, this is me. Coming up on two decades in game dev, and I've always cared way more about building things that are genuinely robust and also make sense to humans, but everyone just wants "fast and cheap", thinks documentation is a waste of time ("you can just talk to people"), doesn't understand "tech debt" as a concept at all, and refuses to prioritize tools work because "it's not player-facing".

All software is rushed software.

Do not, under any circumstances, attach your sense of self-worth to your games.

Never make game development your identity. Let it be a thing you do, not a thing you are.

Build a community outside of game development as soon as possible, even if you're an introvert. You won't understand why this is so important until the day you need it and don't have it.

This is the first I've ever heard of Fossil, and it honestly seems really interesting! Having the executable be both the local CLI for working on the repo and the server for providing the whole GitHub-esque suite of services in a trivially self-hostable fashion is kind of galaxy brain.

omg the absolute ~v i b e s~ on that thing 🤩

I've been out of the loop for the last ~5 weeks. What's PV?

That is the front page/local feed of lemmy.world, which is just one instance of Lemmy (albeit a very large one). Another instance on a different server would likely have a very different vibe.

I'm on a smaller, more topic-focused instance, I subscribe to a handful of communities both inside and outside of that instance (including this one), and I browse by Subscribed, not Local or All. It's a vastly more pleasant experience.

This is amazing ♥️
