I’m honestly surprised that not more OSRS players jumped. 3rd party clients and tools are the life blood of the game for many. If anyone should understand the loss it should be us.
It’s weird right? After the 48 hour blackout, the community was just filled with “well, that was completely pointless, I missed my content!”, when you think they’d understand the issues considering what’s happened with RuneLite in the past.
You forget it’s OSRS players who are also redditors. 99% of that demographic is just going to be contrarian for the sake of being contrarian, and leaving reddit was the last thing they were going to do once people told them it was important.
if stuff doesn’t actively affect people personally, they tend to be apathetic about it unfortunately
People were surprisingly apathetic to the call to arms I feel like. I hope the response isn’t that mild when jagex eventually maybe tries the same thing
I think for PC people, yes. But a huge chunk of players are mobile, and probably never touched runelite.
Sure but I imagine a 95% of the reddit users are PC players so the point still stands. It’s probably do to exposure. I wouldn’t know a thing about Lemmy had I not researched alternatives myself.
edit: you were referring to runelite usage, not PC. oops
Yeah I really want lemmy to take off. This community in particular
If this sub got bigger I could probably comfortably leave Reddit entirely.
I just joined here and like it better already, the UI is super clean. I think this sub (world?) will grow over time, if we get the Jmod announcements/stickies from reddit here as well it would probably help a lot
It will come, this is similar to what happened when redit was coming up
There are dozens of us !!
Seems like osr crew would’ve been front runners. What’re they doing over there?
Why soon? It will happen naturally but if you want faster growth just post and engage.
Hello
Tbh its giving Digg migration. It’ll take time.
Nice to see yall here
No thanks. Fewer people is easier to moderate and it’s less likely to turn into a bigot and misinformation fest.
unfortunately those are problems of successful communities, at least public ones. The only real alternative is a dead community.
I’m hoping for that magic middle ground where there’s more humans and less bots to try and enrage people
