I’m quite new to Lemmy, one of the reddit refugees. I used reddit to mostly browse mapmaking, ttrpg’s, adventure writing, D&D etc. Would love a little guidance on where I could find a nice community like that here on Lemmy.
Pathfinder.social is where I joined from, you could check it out!
The community browsers list a bunch of results for “dungeons”, “dnd”, and “rpg”.
Same idea, but I prefer this one:
There is! !ttrpgs@lemmy.blahaj.zone
This 404s from Kbin. I thought I’d be able to see other federated content?
For some reason kbin uses
instead of!
Try @ttrpgs
DnD@kbin.social
DnDMemes@kbin.social
RPG@kbin.social
dnd@lemmy.world
dnd@lemmy.ml
dndmemes@sh.itjust.works
dndmemes@lemmy.sdf.org
dnd@a.gup.pe
dnd@sopuli.xyz
ravenloft@kbin.social
osr@fedia.io
osr@lemmy.ml
osr@lemmy.world
osr@lemm.ee
dungeons@kbin.social which is related to the Mastadon community https://mastodon.social/@dungeons, you might find that fun.I’m new here. How do I use these addresses (?) to subscribe from my instance?
You’re on kbin.social like me so those you can just search for here and some of those others will probably come up.
But for the direct links to other instances it goes like this https://kbin.social/m/dnd@lemmy.world. once you go there you should see a subscribe button, on the sidebar if you’re on desktop or all the way at the bottom past the comments for mobile. (They’re working on the UI).
If you look in your browser you should see a similar URL format as the thread we are discussing this on is on the beehaw.org instance and not on kbin.social.
!rpg@lemmy.ca as well as the entire instance of Pathfinder.social
Do I have to make a new account for each different instance? Because it tells me to log in again… I guess I’m not 100% understanding how this lemmy works, and it feels annoying to have to make an account for so many different pages
You dont need to make multiple accounts no.
The analogy people are using is email. If I have a gmail account and you have a yahoo account, we can still communicate between each other, but I cant use my gmail account to log in on yahoo’s website. Lemmy works in a similar way. You make one account on your instance of choice (I see you chose beehaw.org) and then you can subscribe and otherwise interact with things and people on other instances (servers).
Here’s how you can do that. Go to your server’s search bar, and type in !dnd@lemmy.ml for example. Give it a few seconds and it should pop up as an option to click on it. Once that happens you can subscribe to it from your instance and interact with it normally.
I hope this helps, and if you have any other questions dont hesitate to ask me or anyone else. Most people are quite helpful :)
Is there a better way to crosslink to other communities that would result in links that are clickable from all instances and would lead to the federated version on each instance?
Iirc theyre working on getting something like that set up, but I may be completely wrong and talking out of my rear. As of right now I dont think there is anything like that
