From what I understand they cannot run ads on NSFW subs, I would fully expect pushback from the admins on that. If not now, then in the future.

It might be but they've been doing a lot of these round ups lately. I think it's partly a way of recapping their history as they get ready for PoE2 and partly for marketing, since there really isn't much going on.

I do wish they would trickle feed more PoE2 info, but it seems they're saving it all for Exilecon.

I'm definitely curious if we'll return to old areas.

It would be fun to have some recurring memes in the new campaign too, a new Dread Thicket, a golden hand and some eyes.

I do wish PoE had something similar to the secret cow level in Diablo, it's been fun watching everyone theory craft and trying to find the new secret in D4.

It's the announcement of the announcement.

I'd love to see an announcement that only posts from GGG employees are allowed.

Well it seems the admins are now forcing subs to open, at least based on pics, steam and piracy. Piracy is taking it as an endorsement from the admins that they want piracy on their site. Pics is now John Oliver pics only, and Steam is now discussions of actual water vapor.

If you're not planning on closing forever, why not just open it now in restricted or limited to specific tangential posting similar to other subs; rather than mirroring the data just to have it available.

It's an interesting setup. Each instance can act like their own version of reddit, and have their own communities or "subreddits" to divide up the instance, or each instance can act like their own subreddit to the greater lemmy community. Since it's possible to connect to other Lemmy instances, if the instance you belong to allows it, you can create an account here and then go to other instances to use their gaming community. It can also connect to non-Lemmy federated content like Kbin and Mastodon.

The weird part here is that there can be fracturing. There could be a PoE community on Kbin, there could be a PoE community within Lemmy.ml, or Lemmy.world, and there could be a dedicated PoE instance here made up of multiple PoE communities.
