I also may boost posts I make with alts, but I’m mainly here so that should be rare.

  • Thought at first you meant enemies with invisible sprites like Intangr from FFVI and that one rare enemy from FFXII.

    But on random encounters and turn-based combat, the mainline entries (the numbered ones) have been progressively more action-oriented and static encounters-oriented since XI afaik. Though on combat specifically, the first hack and slash (not counting non-mainline entries) afaik is XV.

    But the series is pretty overarching, so if you check the non-numbered releases, or spin-offs of numbered releases, you get things like RTS (FFXII Revenant Wings), tactical RPGs (FF Tactics), souls-likes (Stranger of Paradise), hack and slash (Type-0, maybe Crisis Core), literal movies (Advent Children, Kingsglaive), etc. And whether enemy encounters are random, depends on the game too.

    And lastly, feel free to crosspost the question to !finalfantasy@lemmy.world too, so you can get more opinions. =)


  • Imo if the person moves the responsability to a third party, he should still be responsible for what happens. The wait sounds reasonable to me, as then people can see how responsible the dev or “dev” shows to be towards the project he is managing.

    And by that, it allows separating those just using LLMs as additional tools, from “adventurers” (local expression for people that do things without a plan), scammers and asset flip users going for an even quicker buck.




  • Moderation for starting communities is rarely needed, given the lack of posts. But if ever needed to moderate, first and foremost, don’t jump the gun.

    Also, on rules, if you don’t make any, still at least imo, instance rules and staying on topic would apply.

    And either through those or by making your own, beware those that stretch the definitions of the rules. In such cases, I’d recommend avoiding making new rules unless absolutely needed, else you’d be falling for their engineering.

    And not related to moderation, but you can make a community mention to make it easier to find across the fediverse: !over30@lemmy.world (!over30@lemmy.world)


  • Also integrating microblog features to threads, like following the poster and boosting posts and comments, is great imo. And I can post microblogs to communities without @ the community, which makes the posts cleaner. And can post to Bluesky too through a bridging service for microblogging.

    Also forgot to mention another instance (or rather software), Misskey. That one I like for following people through RSS since it allows the technology for external accounts. But then I set a script for redirecting the Misskey posts to Mbin or Mastodon’s (hardcoded) search links. Mastodon’s also good for RSS, specifically hashtags’ in its case, but needs an ever-growing list of matched links in the redirect script.


  • Mbin I prefer because it integrates decently enough thread posts and microblogs while, unlike alternatived, not being visually bloated or as slow to interact.

    And when it lacks some feature, it’s one of the better and more responsive ones to either emulate or redirect to an instance that supports the given feature, either by Ublock Origin filters, Violentmonkey scripts, etc.
