  • A lot of that pain can be reduced by writing and running your code locally before pushing it to a CI environment. Generally with our automation we write a CLI, And GitHub actions is just an execution environment that calls the CLI.

    And if what you’re trying to do must execute inside an action. You can run workflows locally with docker!




  • I disagree.

    I don’t necessarily know about new music, artists, or genres. I want to get a mixture of stuff I haven’t encountered.

    Something like 60% of the music I listen to in a given month I had never heard of 12 months prior. I’ve found so much music that I vibe with by way of generated playlists.

    Discovering something new that scratches my music itch is in itself a pleasure for me, and I can go back to it at a later date, like everything else.

    This doesn’t mean I support Spotify, but it does mean I disagree with your stance.








  • Development time and user support?

    These are two pretty obvious reasons. It takes time and time is a limited resource. Therefore, time should be spent on solving impactful problems. Lemmy account login is extremely low impact, it’s not a bad thing, it’s just not something that improves immich for a large portion of its user base.

    Another thing is user support. Since the many instances are self-hosted for the most part, and they will go offline, and they will go away forever in some instances. Users asking for support for this login type and asking for additional features to make up for this baked in instability.

    Essentially. Low impact work that may drive a higher volume of support efforts.

    It’s the same reason some niche projects stop supporting Linux. Low user volume and disproportionately high “neediness” of those users.




  • Yeah, and for every dozen hours spent on building a “shitty discord” that’s a dozen hours not spent building the game.

    And then there’s the high friction. Now people need to sign up for your special website, sign up for your special chat, add another app to their phone if you even provide one…etc When 9/10 of those same people already have a Discord account and are already active on Discord.

    You don’t appear to understand what friction means. Because using an established platform that the majority of your community already uses isn’t high friction…

    It doesn’t matter what the platform is. You bring yourself to the platform your users use. It just so happens that at this point in time it is Discord and this wasn’t always the case and it won’t always be the case.


    You keep talking about how you don’t want to join to find out information how you don’t want to chat about the game.

    Okay. That’s fine, that’s your choice, Why are you trying to shove your choice down other people’s throat then, you don’t have to join, you don’t have to talk about the game. It’s not required.



  • 1000000%

    It is literally the worst forum platform in existence. For q&A and support, it’s effectively a black hole for information and not only that, it’s a black hole for effort since people will just ask the same bloody questions day in and day out as the information already on Discord becomes unavailable over time

    ==========

    However, It becomes difficult when you use Discord as a place for your community to chat and to talk with and get feedback from highly engaged players or community members who have things to say about your game and want to talk with each other about the game. You could say that any old form will do here. However, you go to where your community is, you don’t make your community come to you. That only works if you are a bombshell of a title, otherwise, your bounce rate for community members joining and talking and engaging is going to be incredibly high which reduces the chances of your game becoming successful.
