minus-square Meldrik ( @meldrik@lemmy.wtf ) linkfedilink50•1 year agoCrazy. Mojang should just host their own Lemmy instance 😅
minus-square Briongloid ( @briongloid@aussie.zone ) linkfedilink25•1 year agoI feel that every publisher/developer could self-host, basically having a subreddit that is more within their control than before. Game forums still have good information, this could unite what Reddit hadn’t fully.
minus-square Mirodir ( @Mirodir@lemmy.fmhy.ml ) linkfedilink3•1 year agoIf they fork the lemmy repo and care to put in some effort, they could even have all the in-game accounts work as Lemmy accounts on their instance. Now whether or not that is a good idea is an entirely different question…
minus-square Briongloid ( @briongloid@aussie.zone ) linkfedilink1•1 year agoI think it sounds like an awesome idea.
