I'm also wondering this, I'm considering a shift to MBin but Artemis is a big variable in whether or not I do!

You can use an account on all instances but I think the lack of consolidation is the single biggest problem with Lemmy/KBin tbh (the lack of ActivityPub in some of the other Reddit alternatives also doesn't help).

Obviously there's a smaller userbase here, which is fine and expected but can make some communities feel a little empty. Having basically the same community in multiple places across multiple Lemmy and KBin instances makes that issue a lot worse though - ideally communities covering the exact same topic should be automatically consolidated in the way you describe. And ideally on an opt-out basis for the user - so you see the amalgamated page by default and can see the individual ones if wanted.

That looks super-fun, visual novel set inside a monster-collecting RPG is a jam to start with but I'm always up for some gratuitous weirdness on top!

I've got some interest in them but, tbh, only if they're federated. Which I know some are very unlikely to, but I don't really want to be bothered investing in multiple websites with heavily overlapping functions that can't talk to each other (though I know Tildes is moderately different).

Looks very Danganronpa. Only played the first one of those but I had fun, so keeping an eye on this.

This is cool stuff - glad to know they're thinking about what to do with the 3DS ones as well, fingers crossed for a rerelease! I had a big sweep of the 3DS/Wii U eShops before they closed to just pick up anything I wanted before they went, but I completely forgot about the Picross e games.

I actually never got round to deleting my Reddit account but I don't miss it. As with Masto/Twitter there are a few things KBin and Lemmy haven't been able to fully replace for me but for like 98%+ of their stuff I don't miss those networks. And if I do want up to check some specific good account that never left Twitter or some reference material that's only posted in some subreddit ... well, we have Nitter and Geddit to gap-fill. In time hopefully they'll not be needed.

Like, I think the Fediverse has got the hardest thing right so far - actually having good vibes and good moderation. Don't think anything else on the internet has been this relaxing and troll-free ... ever - even pre-social media. More features and polish would be nice but given how much better Masto is now than in November '22 I expect KBin/Lemmy will also improve with time.

Hey, just wanted to say thanks for posting this and for transcribing the game list. This is exactly the kind of thing where a video is worse than just a list in plaintext imo! :)
