  • I agree that none of the games in Minetest have anywhere near the level of polish as Minecraft. And as we’re comparing a pretty niche game engine built on by hobbyists vs Microsoft, it’s very much to be expected. I also agree it shouldn’t be recommended as a Minecraft alternative.

    But the from the first half of your post I think you misunderstand the point of Minetest. Its not meant to have an overarching game design. It’s a game engine. Its designed for people to use to make their own games.




  • There is a lot of debate on whether or not small instances help or make it worse, mostly due to how Lemmy handles pushing updates.

    The main consensus is that joining a small to medium sized instance would have the smallest footprint on Lemmy.

    That being said, Lemmy has a lot more developers working on it now it has all this attention and now they can see where Lemmy struggles on large instances, so what is true today may not be true in the future.





  • I haven’t looked at peer tube yet but I highly recommend anyone who is curious about a federated Twitter check out Mastadon.

    It feels like a much more polished experience than Lemmy and I think is a good example of what federated sites can become.

    Also it wasn’t in the question, but Pixelfed is basically a federated version of Instagram for those curious as well.
