With my recent de-modding and ban from the DnDMemes sub, I now have plenty of time to touch grass and help grow this community/instance. AMA I guess? - The TTRPG network

bang-bang, motherfucker!

AMA

What’s a moment you’ve really enjoyed in a game recently?

I’ve had a weekly 5e game with some old college friends that’s been running for 4+ years. We started at level 1 and just turned level 19. During the last fight I ended in the center of an enemy’s casting of Meteor Swarm and was unscathed thanks to my Shield Master feat. That was pretty great!
I just took that feat so I feel validated.
I just took that feat so I feel validated.
This is my first post on here thanks to the shit Admins pulled on you. How best do you recommend continuing the protest? Simply stop using reddit altogether, or is there a malicious compliance you recommend? My usage has gone down significantly since the API changes but I haven’t been able to kick it altogether.

How best do you recommend continuing the protest? Simply stop using reddit altogether, or is there a malicious compliance you recommend?

Unfortunately, that’s probably the only route, IMO

My usage has gone down significantly since the API changes but I haven’t been able to kick it altogether.

While it’s not exactly a perfect replacement for reddit yet, lemmy can help with that, i’ve found. If you click to the “all” feed you can basically get a slows/less populated version of reddit r/all. Really all it lacks at the moment is user participation, which has been climbing a lot over just the past few weeks.

Just to add, sorting All by Top Hour/6H keeps the content fresh. The default Active sorts by comments and favors 1-2 day old threads while Hot regularly resurfaces weeks old threads for some reason.
After I subscribed to a Canada sublemmy, there was a full two days where I was just constantly being bombarded with threads from literal years ago I’d see a shockingly frightening news thing, click on the thread, start reading, realize this all sounded familiar, and then realize this was like covid news
First post on here, I have as well followed after the dndmemes mod fiasco by Reddit. Question: does Lemmy allow NSFW content? Asking… For a friend.
There are entire INSTANCES for that, my friend, with varying rules, themes, and content focuses.
Alright, i gotta learn how to use this platform. Beautiful. Thank you.
Each community is allowed to set their own standards for the rules they have, there’s no server wide ban necessarily against NSFW, so you should check with the mods of a given community
Great, thank you :)

One such instance is lemmynsfw.com

You can subscribe to that instance’s communities from your current account, or make an account there for just NSFW (I personally like to keep my NSFW and regular browsing separate and I find that’s the easiest way 🙂)

I tried subscribing to Lemmynsfw (found it yesterday) with my account but I couldn’t manage. So I registered another account and will swap between this and that on occasion, which is something I never did on Reddit because I was too lazy to swap so I kept everything on the same profile.

Cheers :)

Stopping using Reddit is probably the only effective form of protest. If you don’t want to do that, reducing your usage at all will help. However, the best thing you can probably do is help the Fediverse grow. Your part of that means active participation, be it posts or comments. So that’s what I would encourage you to do: Post things!
Define Fediverse please?
This is the fediverse. It’s a bunch of different instances federating with each other, sharing content but remaining individual. That way, no one instance can pull a reddit and go mad with power.

Ttrpg.network, which you joined, is one of many websites that can all communicate together with a common web protocol. This process is called federation and all of those sites together are called the fediverse. So for example, I’m logged into slrpnk.net right now but because both of our sites (called instances) are federated, I can view and comment here, and you’d be able to do the same on any communities hosted on slrpnk.net. You may have heard of mastodon which is more of a twitter alternative but it’s also part of the fediverse, so you should be able to use your account here to view and interact with mastodon content as well if you wish.

It’s a pretty clever system and while there are hiccups here and there, for me it has been a good replacement for Reddit. We just need more users and content to really get things going.

Imagine hundreds of Reddit sites with hundreds of communities (subreddits) each, that’s the fediverse (federated servers).

They are called federated servers/instances because they are connected, their uses can interact (vote and comment) between each other.

One explanation that really helped my grasp this I saw a while back was that this is very similar to how email works: Lots of different domains/providers/websites, but ultimately they are all connected and interact with each other.
You’re building a town on Mars, while I’m building a town on Jupiter, and we both have telescopes that can look at each other’s towns
Sorry to hear about your ban, it was an honorable protest. What was your favorite meme that you saw in your time?
What as the reddit admin’s intimidation roll?
doesn’t matter when they nat 1 diviner dice’d your save.
Divine wizard op. Wotc please nerf
No questions here, just saw the reddit post and came here to say massive respect to you
I don't know anything about it, but you're probably better off this way.
You god damn hero. Thank you for your service.

Honestly, fuck spez and the rest of the admin team.

You are a legend for what you did. They nat 1’d and instead of abiding by the roll, they flipped the table.

o7 You guys are doing a wonderful job Fuck Spez
Legend. Just registered here too after the coward decision from Reddit Admins. Other than cats and NCD I’m barely active now.

How does that work when two instances can have communities/magazines with the same name?

How does that work when two instances can have communities/magazines with the same name?

Because the two communities are on different servers. [email protected] is on the sh.itjust.works instance/server (sh.itjust.works/c/noncredibledefense) and [email protected], as an example, would be on lemmy.world (lemmy.world/c/noncredibledefense). They’re both different communities/subreddits with different mods/admins.

While this can be a little confusing at first, after a while 1 or 2 similar communities will became the mainstream ones where most traffic will go while the others will be way smaller and a little more niche.

Sorry that the link doesn’t work for you. Kbin is a different platform and I have no experience with it.

All I see for both of those is "!noncredibledefense" and yet they go to different servers.

What are you actually typing? I'm assuming the markdown is changing it.

Here’s a screenshot of what they’re typing, my app doesn’t “hide” it like your viewing platform does it appears:

The @ points your browser to the community on the right instance. As for the link taking you to the base instance while on kbin, it’s because kbin uses /m/ instead of /c/ as a separator like Lemmy. So for you to visit that NCD from kbin, the link would be kbin.social/m/[email protected]. Also it looks like kbin is still having problems receiving updates from lemmy and vice versa.
noncredibledefense - kbin.social

Be nice...

THAT NCD indeed.
FYI, there are a shit ton of third party apps and extensions for viewing Lemmy however you want. No idea what type of device you’re using, but for iOS I like Memmy.
Are you on desktop or mobile? On desktop there are themes and userstyles.
Desktop, I checked the themes. One helps a bit
There’s a browser extension called Styles, it comes with some user mods for it too.
Chromium or Firefox? I’m team Firefox.
Do you watch DnD content online (CriticalRole, Dimension 20, etc.)? If so, what’s your favourite?
What did those wankers that call themselves “Admins” roll for that Intimidation check?

Thank you for your service. Fuck the admins.

Would you be interested in starting a shortstack-and-snitty friendly community, either on this instance or elsewhere on Lemmy? I know it started as a protest, but a genuine (albeit horny) community sprung up really quickly. A lot of users, myself included, genuinely liked what it was shaping into these past couple of days, where normal memes were getting posted alongside horny ones. It made the sub a really enjoyable sex-positive space that wasn’t solely dedicated to sex, and there are not many of those.

There's a lot of NSFW communities popping up over at https://lemmynsfw.com/
Lemmy NSFW (Archive) - NSFW (18+) only instance for Lemmy

Lemmy

I don’t have a question. I just wanted to tell you, you’ve got so much respect for what you did, even outside of the DnD community. I’m glad you did what you did, and I hope the rest of the mod team will join us here!
are you the guy who asked the admins to roll a dice for a iniative check? :D
Yes!
i loved that SO much. so they really did ban you for it, hm? sucks but… worth it :D (i hope!)
That was legendary. We're going to share that with our descendants for generations to come.

AMA I guess

Have you tried Pathfinder?

Now the meme’s out of the way, how are you finding modding on Lemmy so far?

You have been given inspiration for your response to the auto-mod.

For an AMA, what has been the most memorable dnd meme you’ve come across?
