Original post available at https://wetdry.world/@splatoon/113144306396635775. Please follow us on Mastodon if you haven't done so already, we're still getting nothing mirrored over here which is really frustrating.

Now that the Grand Festival Splatfest is over and Splatoon 3 having less happening from now on, I would just like to reassure everyone here that we will continue actively posting about the game. Things may be less frequent, but I am determined to continue reporting on the Splatoon series here (and the Animal Crossing series at @crossing@wetdry.world).

I'm hoping we'll be able to host more events soon to keep things fresh. But for now, I would like to issue a thank you to everyone reading this post for supporting this account for about a year and 9 months.

It's been truly inkredible being able to grow this community and I want to continue having a vibrant community even with the future of Splatoon 3 being uncertain. I would also like to use this space to say thank you to a few individuals.

For starters, thank you Essem and Emma IPG for being amazing admins on this server! Also, thanks @soap@splatsville.social for maintaining a safe space for squids to hang out in!

Even though I don't really know either of you, thank you @oatmealdome@mas.to for continuing to datamine content in Splatoon 3 as well as reporting on news (it's quite handy) and thanks @kydzs@social.lol for operating the SplatoonNA mirror here.

I'd also like to thank the team at @pretendo@pretendo.network: particularly @jon@pretendo.network, @quarky@pretendo.network and @limes@limes.pink. They've been doing a splatastic job of reviving servers for Splatoon 1 and various other Wii U/3DS titles. I'm looking forward to potentially working with the team in the future for early access to Splatfest information etc once the servers are ready. I also currently moderate for Pretendo's forums, so be sure to say hi if you see me around.

Finally, thank you to @NorthWestWind in particular for assisting with the operation of our Matrix and Discord spaces.

Oh, and also, I know nobody at Nintendo will see this but thank you. I don't know what I'd be doing online now if this game didn't exist.

I'll be publishing a more lengthy post on other platforms soon.

Just thought I'd share this one quickly. Splatoon 1 moves to 2 hour rotations after a poll in the Pretendo Discord came out in favour of it.

I'm hoping that our posting will eventually mirror over again, but if you haven't already, please follow us on Mastodon at @splatoon@wetdry.world!

Sorry for no alt text on the image, unsure on how to do it with Sync.

Back in March, you may have remembered that we covered an event that the Splatoon content creator ProChara was hosting in support of the Palestine Children's Relief Fund.

Our community here managed to raise an inkredible US$30 (at minimum) through the Tiltify campaign!

As the situation is getting worse each day, Palestinian children need our help more than ever and one of the organisers from that event is hosting another round of support next week!

On the 2nd of June at 6pm BST, SFPK will be hosting a tournament to raise more money for Palestine! Along with that, some content creators and influencers, including myself, will be running events throughout the week to raise money.

I'm not quite ready to publish the post announcing our event but it will be happening on the 1st of June at 8:30pm BST (post should be out by tomorrow evening hopefully). To get notified about this, join us on Matrix at https://matrix.to/#/#splatoonevents:matrix.org.

The event will be live streamed at https://twitch.tv/SFPKsplatoon.

Hi, for at least 7 days, posts created on Mastodon on the wetdry.world server that mention the communities @splatoon@lemmy.world and @animal_crossing@lemmy.world have not been forwarding correctly.

The server does not restrict access to lemmy.world at all, mastodon.world is marked as limited but that doesn't apply to Lemmy.

I'm posting from the @splatoon@wetdry.world and @crossing@wetdry.world accounts and they always have the handle for the respective Lemmy community at the bottom of our posts.

Thanks in advance for the support!

I just came across this and I feel like it's important to inform everyone. Our posts from the Splatoon Unofficial and Crossing Corner accounts don't seem to currently be linking to Lemmy.

I'm not sure why, but this seems to have been happening for about a week at this point.

We are still posting, but I'm not particularly keen on making news posts on my personal Lemmy account at the moment considering I only check in to Lemmy from time to time.

To continue staying informed of the latest events in the squid world whilst we investigate why our posts aren't mirroring to Lemmy, you'll need to follow us on Mastodon.

If you're not interested in using Mastodon, we also have a Matrix space and a Discord server. A full guide for joining us on Matrix is linked at https://splatsville.social/@splatoon/pages/matrixwelcome.

Thanks for all your support though! Hope we can get this fixed soon since it is certainly annoying for all parties involved.

Just wanted to let you all know that the last person on Nintendo Network servers (@Lcd101) has agreed to do an interview with Splatoon Unofficial!

If you want to ask any questions about their experience on the Nintendo Network servers, please send them in by 6pm BST (1pm EDT, 2am JST).

For the longest time, posts with a content warning that we make, particularly those for Splatfests were not visible but now they seem to be?

I'm just wondering when this started happening since I've only noticed this just now and it's a bit of a concern for me. I'm not sure what clients are used for Lemmy but I'm concerned that the clients may show contents of the message despite showing an NSFW tag on Lemmy (obviously we're not posting any porn). The whole purpose behind us using content warnings for stuff like this is to not spoil people.

For the first time in over a year, new spirits have been added to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate!

They're all from games that were released during 2023.

Hi all, making a separate post here on Lemmy, since polls from Mastodon don't show up on Lemmy.

I need feedback on a potential Splatoon 1 tournament that I want to host next year.

https://wetdry.world/@splatoon/111527911865545965

You'll need to have a Mastodon, Firefish, Akkoma or Misskey account (obviously there's more software than that) to vote.

If you can, I'd also encourage you to follow us as well, some posts don't get ported over to Lemmy.

Thanks in advance!

Decided to use Miiverse for the first time in 6 years now that Pretendo has brought it back (yes I know rverse is a thing).

The posts on there are already incredible btw if you take a look (can you please leave me a Yeah! on that post).

Congratulations to Rainbow SAILboats for winning the event. You can watch the tournament on the YouTube livestream replay linked!

Thank you to Shark Burger and Chilli Fryes for participating as well!

I thought you guys might want to know about this, Splatoon 1 speedrunner LonTr0 has achieved a new world record of 28:03 on the game's Any% category.

The game is currently just 3 seconds away now from a sub-28!

btw hi everyone, im the person who runs splatoon unofficial
