Welcome
Hey!
Whether you’re coming here from r/Splatoon or discovered this place from somewhere else, I wanted to welcome everyone to the community!
At the moment things are still pretty new, but I’m hoping this can be a pretty chill spot to post and talk about Splatoon!
Banner/Icon
Even though the community already has a banner and icon setup, if anyone wants to take a whack at putting something together I’d love to update it!
Rules
Rules haven’t really been set in stone, yet, but for the most part following lemmy.world’s instance rules seems good, for now!
Mainly want to have them be more common-sense-driven and hopefully pretty easy to follow/understand.
Feel free to post whatever, but also marking anything that could be a little spoiler-y as NSFW and tagging with a [Spoiler] tag is probably a good idea, too!

Fediverse’s Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse
Tldr; Fediverse/Threadiverse instances are pretty much just websites that can interact with each other. You have a main instance you can sign up, view, post, comment, and create communities on, and if two instances find each other (usually via the search page), and haven’t blocked one another, they’ll mirror the data (minus login info) between themselves.
Either way hope you can bear with me, and stay fresh! くコ:彡
P.s. If you’re interested in helping out and/or being a mod for the community, feel free to hit me up!
Happy to be onboard! Hopefully there will be some more refugees coming in from reddit soon! Would be nice to get things a bit more active.
Hopefully! With the smaller numbers it seems like more people need to be proactive to help with discussions and growing communities, here, too.
Kinda like “be the change you want to see in the world”, etc.; but yeah, definitely not something I’m 100% used to still, to be honest! lol
@carp4lemmy having to look at the post through lemmy.ml since I have a DNS block on newly registered domains, but I’d just like to say a welcome to any new squids who have joined the fediverse!
also we’re also looking for a banner if anyone’s interested, or translators, since LibreTranslate/Microsoft Translate/Google Translate isn’t that accurate
Whatever tunnels the post here, haha! And thanks for the warm welcome! ^^
For translations, if you haven’t heard of or maybe haven’t had any issues with it in the past, you might also be interested in trying out DeepL! It’s been a pretty great tool for me over the last ~4 years whenever there was anything I wasn’t too sure about.
