    It’ll be really hard to get coordinates exchange over here too. Does anyone know if people regularly post good finds to a non-reddit website already?

        The Glyph Exchange mods have confirmed to me that they have no interest in restarting on this website. Not because of anything against Lemmy, but because doing it a 3rd time would be overwhelming for them.

        The Coordinate Exchange is the old one run by a mod who did nothing to build the subreddit, then returned after 4 years and kicked out all the mods who actually built the subreddit. If that mod started one here, I would not support it, since his actions are almost like a scaled-down version of Reddit’s actions.

        So, if we want a Glyph Exchange here, someone will have to volunteer to run it. A lot of people have expressed a desire to see the old fractured Reddit NMS community unified into a single community on Lemmy, and I think that might be wise too. Especially since Lemmy relies on a search function rather than flairs.

          This may be a silly question, and maybe more so because of my casual playstyle 'cause I think I used glyphs someone else found like twice, but do people really enjoy picking up ships, multi-tools, companions, and all that stuff that other people have found? I kind of get it, like maybe you really want a gold exotic guppy or something. It’s just, the exotic I have now is the first one I found because it feels special that I found it. My living ship is the one that I happened to get on the planet I happened to be on at that stage of the quest. I feel attached to it. I just wouldn’t feel the same about a ship I got because I followed a set of instructions outside the game. That can’t be a rare position to take right? Maybe it is though. Maybe playing on Nintendo Switch where I don’t actually encounter other players makes things like trading glyphs feel like meta-gaming instead of running into someone who’s just saying “check out this cool thing I found!”

          Tracking down the exact color ship with whatever specific components in an S class doesn’t do it for me. My view may evolve over time, and I can see how being able to search up exactly what I want is almost something that almost has to exist in an infinite procedurally generated environment. It’s just not something I feel like I need ya’ know?

            I can’t speak for everyone, but personally I enjoy both finding things myself and using glyphs shared by others. As I see it, they are simply two different kinds of “play” that NMS enables. I have a “Batman” themed Interceptor that someone else shared which amuses me, but – like you – I often default to an exotic that I happened upon myself. (Unfortunately, I can’t share the location of that particular exotic, because I didn’t know anything about glyph sharing at the time, and now I have no idea where I found it.)

            If you don’t get any pleasure out of one mode of play, no big deal. Just enjoy the journey!

            Personally I use my own equipment for day-to-day use (although I did personally find two T-shaped supercharged slot Interceptors in the first week or two of that update 👽) and I use the top-of-the-line stuff for competitive PVP events.

          For the uninitiated in the room… what would “volunteering to run it” actually look like, on a lemmy community? Because I’m not sure that I would have the time to do something overly involved… but I wouldn’t mind contributing glyphs for a few of the ship locations that I’ve found, that just somehow never quite made it into a Reddit post.

            I’m not entirely sure as I have never moderated, and only occasionally utilized, the Glyph Exchange… but I think the biggest task would be removing posts which don’t fit the formatting standards, which are in place to make it easy to consistently locate a given type of ship, multitool, etc.
