Hi all!
Another post from me! This time i wanted to talk about the lemmyverse and more broadly the fediverse.
We have a previous post talking about some tips and tricks with lemmy over here.
However, it was recently brought to my attention that some users of ttrpg.network might be going out in to other TTRPG communities in other fediverse instances, and either harassing users or asking them to close down and consolidate to here!
I don't consider this ok. I would please ask that you respect the rules and etiquette of other communities and instances.
Multiple communities across the fediverse for the same topic is a feature, and not a bug!
There's many reasons this is good, however, chiefly among them - No one person or team can be all controlling on a subject. If you don't like what I, a mod here, a mod/admin on lemmy.world, etc. do, you can merely subscribe to a sister community on a different instance! You can also subscribe individually to all communities covering the same subject and create yourself a mega-feed of all the communities across the lemmiverse. Again, this is considered this a feature, not a bug.
So if you're going in to other communities around the fediverse, please be respectful, nice, and participate in good faith! Doing this will actually help this community grow as it reflects well upon ourselves here, and seeing your username being from this instance will drive extra traffic to us!
Yes, let's say you want to follow
/c/community_metafrom Mastodon. In that case, search for@[email protected](or, some servers instead use[[email protected]](/c/[email protected])) and you'll find the community "as if it were a user". Sometimes it's a li'l slow or glitchy and you need to try it again a few timesFollow that "user" and you'll get the posts into your Mastodon and can interact with the posts, reply to them and such. Let us know whether this works, I'm sure others are curious, too! ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
I did find the community I wanted to follow, but:
It doesn't load any posts.
I'll give it a day to see if it's just being slow.
I hope it works! I haven't tried following any communities, maybe I should.
@Sandra @ahdok My attempts to search for
communities in Pleroma all proved futile.
@Sandra @ahdok
I figured out my issue. It helps when I search for accounts,
and not for statuses.
I followed a community; hopefully posts will start showing up in my timeline.
While I have followed an active community (mastodon''s regular desktop interface) - it doesn't seem to pull any posts from it.
