The mods permanently shut down the subreddit, and yet the new website hasn’t been worked on in 3 months (per gitlab commit history). There are several pages on the site that are still blank. I’m glad we can rebuild here, but so much important information is lost by closing the subreddit permanently and not offering an alternative. Not just the wiki, but the numerous Q&A posts, too. I and many others are trying to get LoL working via Lutris and the only resources I have are a half-complete wiki (leagueoflinux.org) and the Kbin which has like 10 posts and 10 comments total. Does anyone else feel like we are kinda being left out to dry at this point?

    Copying my comment on the pinned thread:
    Honestly I’m pissed about the whole situation, but at this point the fact that there is still no actual community (Discord or Revolt), and things aren’t changing on Reddit from what I know, having this community here is just damaging to the community. I’ve been scrolling through the posts here and most of them have little to know help in terms of responses. The reddit posts were not only google searchable, but they also had some decent involvement in terms of debugging and community help.

        Well that’s my point. I get Reddit and specifically spez is doing some fucked shit, but at the end of the day, the reason platforms like Discord aren’t dead because of their stupid decisions is because the users are simply not moving. By this point, if the admins of this community don’t wanna be on Reddit, fine, but then hand the reigns to someone else so that all the work gone into that subreddit hasn’t gone to waste and those users that utilize the subreddit can continue to do so.

    In my opinion it was still the right move to leave reddit. The idea of having a git repository with the wiki pages is also great. The game is playable right now, which might be a reason why the community is not really active at the moment. I just hope that if a patch comes that breaks the game on linux this will be the place to get information about workarounds and fixes.

        Lets see if it this patch actually breaks the game. This may be a good opportunity to encourage people to participate here.

          I believe this is a good suggestion, though I think @redditisalsobad is correct about post involvement and discoverability. In any case, it’s a good idea to check what everyone thinks when it comes to moving the community back/elsewhere. IMO something like an IRC (or anything more “direct”) could go a long way when it comes to communicating about such things, but that’s a whole other can of worms as it’s not open to the internet, and can completely kill discussion in other platforms that are.
