FYI, i see a lot of users joining, but not many people are actually subscribing to the communities. Subscribing to the communities you like will help them grow within the fediverse and be easier to discover!

    Where can we suggest new communities? I’m surprised at the lack of Pathfinder 2e, Fate and Genesys communities at the least 🙃

    Also, I think the server may need an update?

      Since Lemmy is kind of like a bunch of small separate Reddits, its very possible that a community you are looking for already exists; its just on a different Lemmy server. But fear not! You can be the person to connect it so everyone here can see it and start to interact with it!

      Use this site to search for other communities that might not yet be on this instance: https://lemmyverse.net/communities

      You should find a good handful of communities around D&D, Pathfinder, Fate, etc. When you find one you are interested in, you can visit it directly, but since you probably don’t have an account on that server, you won’t be able to post or comment there until you connect it to ttrpg.network by subscribing to it.

      Mouse over the link (it should pop up with “Click to Copy”), and copy it. Then come back here, open the search page, and search for the link you just copied. You should get a result that you can click on, but notice this time you are viewing it through ttrpg.network, so you can interact with it with your account here. Click “subscribe”, and everyone here will also start to see posts from that community.

      Congrats! You have just made one link in the Fediverse, connecting everyone here to a community somewhere else.

      I’m surprised at the lack of Pathfinder 2e

      There’s actually a dedicated lemmy isntance for pathfinder, pathfinder.social; while i’m not necessarily against having a community here, i didnt know if there would be as much of a need consider that.

          not a problem. It’s worth noting you can follow communities on other instances, including the pathfinder instance, directly from this instance here, so you don’t need to “sign up” on pathfinder.social to use their communities, you can use this account you’re using right now!

            Yeah, I’ve figured that part out! Although I’m unsure why I can’t find some communities in here? For example, there’s a wargaming community on lemmy.world I can’t seem to access from inside this instance…

              which community? i think lemmy has some weird rules around searching out communities from another instance. If there’s no local subscribers or new content pushed from the community, i dont think they’ll show up in the search, but i think you can still access them using a direct link, but im not 100% sure. It’s one thing i wish they would make a lot easier, honestly…

      The server is a version behind but the latest version temporarily removed captchas which can help a bit with spam accounts, so that might be why the admins are waiting to update. Still, I’m pretty sure most Android apps only support the latest version so it would be nice if we can update sooner rather than later!

        this is correct; we’re holding off until 0.8.1 when they plan to reimplement captchas. I know there’s a few release candidates bumping around, so it hopefully shouldn’t be too long until it’s released.
