For the past couple of weeks, some of us moderators of the subreddit r/Silksong, have been working on an exciting project. We’ve created a lemmy instance for fans of indie games. We officially run and support this instance and the Silksong community on it. Please check it out at !Silksong@indie-ver.se

I invite you, current users of the Fedi-verse, to join us at @indie-ver.se, subscribe and interact with the communities there, as they grow. So we can support both a more free internet, and indie game communities. See you soon!

to the moderators, hope this post does not break advertising rules. feel free to remove it, if it does

    I mean… You guys should really start caring about domain names… That domain name is both hard to type and hard to spell… Domain names are important people.

    Since it is still in its infancy, I would suggest buying a proper name. Might seem harsh, but ya.

      I disagree, it’s a fitting name, and I don’t have to type it unless I want to link to it.

        Plus, I mean, unless you’re using a Threadiverse host as your home instance, how often are you typing its name?

        Having a hyphen is RFC-conformant:

        RFC 952:

        1. A "name" (Net, Host, Gateway, or Domain name) is a text string up
to 24 characters drawn from the alphabet (A-Z), digits (0-9), minus
sign (-), and period (.).  Note that periods are only allowed when
they serve to delimit components of "domain style names". (See
RFC-921, "Domain Name System Implementation Schedule", for
background).  No blank or space characters are permitted as part of a
name. No distinction is made between upper and lower case.  The first
character must be an alpha character.  The last character must not be
a minus sign or period.  A host which serves as a GATEWAY should have
"-GATEWAY" or "-GW" as part of its name.  Hosts which do not serve as
Internet gateways should not use "-GATEWAY" and "-GW" as part of
their names. A host which is a TAC should have "-TAC" as the last
part of its host name, if it is a DoD host.  Single character names
or nicknames are not allowed.

        RFC 1123:

           The syntax of a legal Internet host name was specified in RFC-952
   [DNS:4].  One aspect of host name syntax is hereby changed: the
   restriction on the first character is relaxed to allow either a
   letter or a digit.  Host software MUST support this more liberal
   syntax.

   Host software MUST handle host names of up to 63 characters and
   SHOULD handle host names of up to 255 characters.

      Changing the domain of a lemmy instance is quite hard. (Already did it once during testing). And I don’t think indie-ver.se is that hard to spell. Anyways, I am not asking the 100+ users who subscribed to change it, but I do see your point.

        Ya, I know. But a few months/years, it is going to be even harder.

        Just some ideas. If you decide to keep the domain name, I wish you the best. Regardless, welcome to Lemmy brother! The more the merrier.

      Off topic but when I first joined Lemmy I was on booty.world, I still can’t believe that instance shut down!

      I mean, I agree with you in principle - domain names can matter. I remember people were similarly concerned about lemmy.zip back when it launched since .zip links on the internet can be… not so great.

      In this case though I don’t see it, I think indie-ver.se is a great name and super fitting.
