There are no real gaming or device or brand communities.
Some relatively active (in terms of posts, breadth of content and user engagement) gaming communities across Lemmy/Threadi:
I moderate/curate like 6 of them, so I am biased, but we do have a solid selection of gaming communities beyond !games@lemmy.world or !pcgaming@lemmy.ca.
Waiting in my instance to update to Piefed 1.4, I will add World of JRPGs to the sidebar once that happens.
Shameless plug.
If you are into computer RPGs (CRPGs), we have a relatively active community:
The JRPG community is also pretty active:


I use Piefed on Voyager, they don’t really support any of the major features of Piefed.
I still use the mobile WebUI mostly.


Unfortunately, this kills the mobile web view. Mobile web is a higher priority for me than the desktop width (a good to have).
I should have figured this out since the design does look responsive in style.


Thank you Rimu and wjs018!
Found a setting that works perfectly.
I forgot that 1080/1440 refers to height not width. :)


Even worse, in Lemmy’s darkly-compact theme there is no maximum width and it expands to fill the whole screen, creating extremely long lines.
It doesn’t seem to do that on my 1440p monitor, it seems to expand to ~1080 pixels or so.
I do agree that full width expansion is too much (reddit does that and it looks like trash), but for a 1440p monitor ~1080 px width is a lot nicer.
I wouldn’t set it as default, but having the option like with darkly-compact is also nice. The default lemmy theme works like the Piefed themes.
If there is custom CSS for this issue, I would appreciate you sharing.

I had the a similar issue (although only when posting new posts) and I also thought it was a Firefox bug.
Although in my case it was Firefox for Android address/navigation bar that was getting detached.
I wonder if this is a different issue altogether or related.


Interesting, the image loads correctly via this piefed.world account.


Thank you for the clarification.
I do think it does make sense to support this style outlined in context of the Threadiverse. On top of that, a fallback absolute URL would also be great, albeit this is outside my pay grade. :)


The second example works, it’s whats in the sidebars of the communities in OP. But this format is needlessly verbose.


So am I correct in understanding that the notation [Adventure Games](!adventuregames@retrolemmy.com) wouldn’t work? A markdown URL link that refers not to a URL, but to markdown notation for threadiverse non-absolute links.
I am looking to make link where the text is “Strategy Games” but the link is not a URL, but a non-absolute link that sends you to the community via your own instance.
I am OK with the current format (e.g. used in !strategy_games@piefed.world), but I prefer a cleaner non-absolute link that works in a transparent manner.
Brah, why are you so dull? :)


IMO the ability to make batch correction to tags (by the senior mod?) would be helpful for a cleaner tag experience.
