  • I use Obsidian for prep and pen and paper for play. I absolutely adore Obsidian’s versatility and have a crapton of plugins that I all use.

    When worldbuilding, I like to start with a loose concept of the world, pitching that to players, and then have them ask questions about the world. I’ll take those questions home and try to find satisfying answers for them until I have a barebones world, detailed enough that my players could feasibly pitch characters in it. From there, I have them all pitch 3 characters so that I find what needs to be more detailed and then I write that bit of the world.

    It’s all play and write as needed from there.

    I probably will, because I know the communities I was part of there will never be as big and succesful here. Let’s face it, Reddit is far simpler. Lemmy takes a little effort to figure out how to navigate, and many casual internet users won’t want to put in that effort.



  • I haven’t and I won’t. As much as I hate the API changes and as much as I hate being forced to use the terrible official app, there are communities on Reddit that won’t be going dark indefinitely that I am an active part of and wish to remain part of.

    Lemmy is a great concept in theory, but in practice it leads to what was a single community on Reddit being spread over several instances. A community with tens of thousands on Reddit might find a few communities spread over a handful of instances and because a community doesn’t show up in the Communities list under All until someone does the !community@instance.domain command for that specific community (meaning they physically went to other instances to find that community on that other instance and then in practice manually added it to the list)

    This also means that as the amount of instances grows, specific communities will become even harder to find as the instances themselves become more obscure and hard to find.


  • Confusing. There are communities I can’t subscribe to because I can’t access them from my instance, and I have no idea why that is. The experience has been interesting so far, and growing the network is going to be something I’ll be keeping an eye on. For now, though, I’ll have to wait until someone creates the communities I was a part of on Reddit.

    Edit: It seems a community won’t show up on your instance’s community list unless someone in that instance is subscribed to it.

    Ik heb ook het idee dat er in de Communities lijst van feddit.nl een hoop communities missen. trees@lemmy.world staat bijvoorbeeld niet in de lijst en kan ik ook niet op via feddit.nl/c/trees@lemmy.world, dus ik kan me er niet op subben. Wat maakt dat een community op die lijst verschijnt? Zijn er communities waar ik oprecht een account op een andere federatie moet maken om er bij te kunnen? Verslaat dat niet het hele doel?

    Edit: Okee issue gevonden. Lijkt erop dat ik de bovenstaande link gewoon steeds verkeerd had getypt, en de community komt pas in de lijst te staan als iemand in de instance erop gesubt is. Op zich wel handig om te weten.
