The dev does plan to open source it I believe.

Yes, it does.

I realised some time back that my first name backwards made me sound like a knight. I’ve failed to utilise this in usernames except maybe once.

Chaos is a brilliant multiplayer turn-based strategy game.
Lemmings is the perfect puzzle game (also shameless plug for !lemmings)

…which I see now are local links with /c/ so not the issue we’re discussing here!

The ones in !trendingcommunities

Most links have been working fine for me recently, although I still occasionally see this error. However, it appears that links to kbin magazines don’t work at all. I suspect Connect is searching for server/c/community and not retrying with server/m/community when it gets an error back.

There’s some I haven’t used, but Kbin will do Mastodon-style microblogging and Lemmy-style threads, so that’s the best of both worlds. I don’t think the private messaging function works on it yet though.
