Hey, everyone reddit is going through a tizzy and with a blackout being proposed on the subreddit of pathfinder2.E I was wondering If this could be a place for people to start moving too?
Definitely yes on lemmy in general, definitely no to lemmy.ml. Pick a server you like the rules & admin for, maybe ask the admin directly, and direct everyone to that server. That way you can also host the PF2E community on that server.
Things are already getting way too centralized on lemmy.ml, we need to spread out a bit
Welcome! This is a brand new community so to get some posts rolling and some discussions started, feel free to post a picture/text list of some of the RC cars you have, which one(s) is/are your favorite(s), and why
Any user could just put in the full URL of your community to subscribe like I did, but this is a tumultuous time. Just trying to make things as easy as possible for the torrent of new users coming in :)
I'm a massive fan of Paradox Interactive, and play almost all their stuff. Crusader Kings 3, Victoria 3, Hearts of Iron 4 and Stellaris (in that order).
End of the month is gonna be D-Day when people need to make a decision. I'm pretty confident that a large majority will suck it up and switch to the official app, but that still leaves huge numbers of people that will be migrating. I hope Lemmy is ready for the real wave, this is all just precursor shit.
All that is a long-winded way of saying this is about to get a lot bigger.
I've seen lots of discussion on reddit of users trying to get others to join Lemmy and the prevailing reply is that it is too difficult to navigate and comprehend. Having to answer multiple questions and wait for manual verification is combersome and is limiting growth at a time when nothing should be standing in Lemmy's way....
The admins. The people who run the server the community is hosted on.
Ideally, yes. But each instance gets to decide who they ban. If there's an AngryNazi.fuckyou instance, each other instance can decide they don't want to talk to them or see their communities. Don't want your instance to get banned on another instance? Control your users.
I guess? If your a user of AngryNazi.fuckyou and that instance gets banned in a lot of instances, you will need to make a new account in a less tainted instance.
Unlimited (depending on hardware power Vs users, of course)
No, because being on a different server does not impede you in the slightest from subbing, posting and commenting in the more popular one. Think of it as the difference between /r/gaming and /r/truegaming. Same subject, different communities.
Yeah man, I'm in the same boat on feeling excited for the possibilities here. I'm tired as shit after a hard weekend, and I'm still trying to answer as many basic questions that are within my knowledge as possible :))
On the confusion part, yeah, there will be some adjustment for everyone (thankfully I had a 3-day head start). Just like people know that support@gmail.com and support@totallygmailtrustmebro.com are 2 different servers, people are gonna need to learn to look at which server a community is on
Lemme give you 2 scenarios to explain why defederation is an important option:
An instance with views and forms of diacourse wholly incompatible with yours. As a hyperbolic silly example to illustrate, let's say there's a community of cultists who believe in Cthulhu. They encourage a steady diet of kidnapped babies, and ritual drownings. They brigade like crazy, and their moderators encourage them to do this. Anybody who doesn't follow the great old one is an idiot, an asshole, and they express this in extremely vulgar terms. If they were a reddit community, they'd get banned. Here, they get isolated to their own little corner where they can't scream obscenities at people.
An instance with thousands of bots spamming out innocuous looking links that lead to malware. Again, if they were a reddit bot farm, (hopefully) they'd be banned. Here, as it's an open source project and you can't restrict who uses it and for what, defederation is the best you can do.
Lemmygrad seems to be a bit of a target of defederation by many instances, and there's probably some history there that I'm not aware of as I'm also new to Lemmy. Even though I may not agree with some of their hardline views, the users seem to be respectful when commenting over here on lemmy.ml, and the very few times I've commented over there, they've been cool. Consequently, I'm glad lemmy.ml federates with them.
EDIT: I should probably state that even though I'm cool talking with the respectful users, had to block a few communities there. I don't want to see the Death to NATO community cheerleading the Russian invasion, for example.
What games would you guys recommend for a guy near 50, who doesn't have a gaming pc (my laptop is an i7, 16gb RAM and using onboard graphics) which tend to have an older community? I used to play RPG's and my least favorite games are those first person war games....
If you want to get your feet wet in the genre without diving into the bottomless pit of possibilities that is DF, I'd heavily recommend RimWorld. It's basically a simplified, streamlined DF with a futuristic space theme.
I am definitely a hard-liner when it comes to meat. I do find it harder to be such a hard-liner with other animal products, even though I’m aware of the conditions in dairy factory farms. I do agree with you, I’m just saying it’s difficult.
I tried being vegan, but it's basically impossible in Eastern Europe. I settled for just being a vegetarian trying to reduce my cheese & milk consumption and made my peace with that.
Such a bizarre linguistic thing that's happened with woke. It's now essentially meaningless. What was once a legitimate term meaning "alert to racial prejudice", now just means "thing I don't like".
Just joined Lemmy today and found this community. Any Shadowrun players/GMs here? Been playing SR5 on and off for quite a few years, and just started a new campaign. Very excited to get it off the ground.
The rulebook is absolutely atrocious. Absolute garbage formatting that forces you to look in 5 different places for anything.
Once you get a basic handle on the game though, it flows really well, especially for a more trenchcoat style with lots of background plot and mysteries to uncover. The lore is what keeps me coming back more than anything else though.
However, there's 3 aspects of the rules that I consider very crunchy and clunky, and I houserule:
Grenades in enclosed spaces. Nobody has time to sit there and do linear algebra to figure out how many times the shockwaves bounces between two walls doing damage each pass. If you throw a grenade into an enclosed space, chunky salsa and we move on with our lives.
Non-combat decking. If you need to hack the system while your party is being attacked by enemies, that's a cool combat encounter for everyone. If you want to get the floor plans of the building during legwork, I'm not having the decker run a solo session getting the data while everyone else stares at their phones. I make the decker roll a computers + logic test, give them info depending on successes, and we all move on.
Certain spells are absolutely horrendous in terms of how they affect the game. The 2 worst offenders are mob mind and chaos. Mob mind because you roll resistances for every single goddamn person in the area. I just make a very rough average of a nornal civvie, and houserule that the more excess successes you have the more people "failed" the save. Chaos has no written spell effect. I made my own table, with random effects ranging from fire to input failure to software glitch and lots of other possibilities. Keeps things fresh.
Jeez, that turned into way more of a wall of text than I intended, sorry.
Oh, I wasn't trying to recruit for a session or anything, was more wondering if there are members of this community that like and/or play shadowrun.
I got the PF2E humble bundle during the height of the DnD community license scandal, and the system looks interesting. Might give it a try in a few months when one of my campaigns dies down, I'm also pretty capped out atm myself :)
it's very much borrowed from one of the reddit subs i frequent(ed) often, but the idea is to share what we're playing weekly and hopefully create discussions around those games (or simply have a sort of "check-in").
We are happy to see that many of you are exploring Lemmy after Reddit announced changes to its API policy. I maintain this project alongside @dessalines....
Is it possible to query a lemmy instance's Federation State?

The time to streamline Lemmy onboaring is now. Let's do it like mastodon did. (blog.joinmastodon.org)

Coming from reddit, Lemmy isn't great
I appreciate the decentralized architecture and the privacy that comes with it, but it's organization isn't great....
Could you recommend me a game?

Just joined yesterday and it seems like these communities are pretty empty. Is there a bigger one somewhere?
