  • Hi everyone!

    I'm moving my two lists of games from Reddit to Lemmy, as I'm planning to jump platform and totally abandon Reddit in the future. The reason is well, Lemmy is better, and Reddit's admin have suspended or shadowbanned my account without reason, deleting all my contributions to the community (Android Gaming) there.

    Most notably my two lists of games which I've curated for over 4 years: "100% free games" and "Favorite PAID games".

    Lemmy's still young and, unfortunately, there isn't a relevant or active Android gaming community yet, so I'm uploading here hoping I'm not doing anything wrong!

    I'll probably cross-post the two lists on !android@lemmy.world too.

    I'm very new to Lemmy so ANY feedback is appreciated. Thank you!

    • Some small markdown suggestions:

      • Headers require a space after the number signs, like:
        ## **THE LIST**
      • I think "Introduction" and "Entry Criteria" should both be headers as well
      • Each of your genre headers should get three number signs, since those are each subsections of the "THE LIST" section
      • First of all, thanks for your observations and suggestions. I love to be precise with my posts and learning more about markdown formatting.

        Headers require a space after the number signs

        A question about this: does it change the way it actually looks? I'll fix it, but I'd love to know if there's a practical difference in using space vs no space?

        I think "Introduction" and "Entry Criteria" should both be headers as well

        You're probably right, as general rules go, but the reason why headers in my list are formatted this way is because I wanted to draw attention to the actual list and genres, rather than to the introduction/criteria. As I'm expecting most users to browse this list when they want to checkout some games.

        Each of your genre headers should get three number signs, since those are all headers that fall within the "THE LIST" section

        I've actually tried that recently, but didn't like the way it looked. I think something was off with the spacing between genre headers and first line when using three hashtags. Might give it another try soon.*

        *fixed the genre headers with three hashtagas

    • Thanks for posting that here!

    • Welcome! FYI you can type !android@lemmy.world to link a community

      • Thanks! Would this be helpful for cross-posting to that community? My goal is to have a post showing in these 2 communities, and when I update the original one in this instance, the update will automatically carry on to the community in the other instance.

        I tried cross-posting using a function in the Summit app, but the updates don't carry on... Do you know how I could achieve this?

    • Thanks for your work on this! Will pin it for awhile :).

      • That's great! Hope it can be helpful :)

        I will start including FOSS games into this list soon, labeled as such for clarity.

        Also, here is my paid games list in case you find it appropriate to pin this one too.

        Cheers!
