Instance Update #7 - 2024-09-01

Hi folks, there have been some new developments on our instance and I‘d like to share them with you as I think they are pretty awesome.

News

Added !addons4kodi@lemmy.giftedmc.com

Since we are seeing quite the amount of centralization among the fediverse and especially lemmy, we have decided to add addons4kodi as a community. As the name suggests, you can discuss addons for kodi mediacenter there, as well as help or seek help, discuss ups and downs of kodi and its addons as well as request new addons for kodi being written by people. No guarantee it will happen but one can ask, right? We are in no way affiliated with kodi. This is an unpfficial fan sub.

Added #deutsch:matrix.giftedmc.com

Since we historically have quite a few german speakers among our members, we have decided to add a new german language room to our matrix server. It is bridged to our discord for now. If you absolutely dont want to join the matrix server, you can join the discord.

Acquired new domain

Since Minecraft has become a little less prevalent in our community, we are on the way of changing the „brand“ over time. It will still be solely pointed at neurodivergent folks but be game agnostic

FAQ

What is GiftedMC?

We are a community of neurodivergent people and friends. Gifted stands both for the intellectually gifted as the otherwise gifted people in the neurodiverse space. MC historically stands for minecraft as this community was built around a Minecraft server which still is online and publicly accessible. It is however quite challenging to get going so bring all your patience before joining. The IP (java) is server.gifted-minecraft.com. Have fun.

Do you have a website?

We actually have a couple. Our main Website is https://gifted-minecraft.com but we also run a variety of fediverse services for our members:

We also have a VoxeLibre (minetest) server running which you can join on vps.giftedmc.com with the standard minetest port.

Who pays for all these services?

A couple dedicated members of our community.

Can I join ${service}

Yes, you can. Matrix, Discord and VoxeLibre are free. Peertube, Mastodon and Lemmy accounts are for our supporters.

How can I become a supporter?

You can join our supporters on one of many services:
