From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it's gaming you can probably discuss it here!

If not, how do we get one going? I'm new to Lemmy and /r/FreeGameFindings + /r/AppLab are the top subs that I would want to see recreated here!

Well, we're splitting away from lemmy.world now, right? So what does that mean for our ability to follow this?

When servers de-federate, it just means that users on each respective instance will not be able to connect to the other instance. If you'd like to follow that community, you'll be able to either by making an account on that instance, or by making one on a separate instance and subscribing to both Beehaw and lemmy.world content(assuming that third instance is federated with both).

Interesting. So what happens if someone has your same username and then the two instances federate?

I would assume one person would be [email protected], and the other would be username@otherinstance

Doesn't look like freegames can be subscribed or followed outside the lemmy.ml instance :|

If nothing seems to happen after you click Subscribe, refresh the page. It should then say "Subscription Pending". All you have to do at that point is wait a bit and it will eventually get added to your subs. The lemmy.ml server is being hammered by new users and it's constantly slowing to a crawl or sporadically going down. Beehaw occasionally has the Subscription Pending issue, too.

Thanks for the tip.

Unfortunately, there was no Subscribe option on the page. I ended up Subscribing through a different instance so all is dandy .

Interesting. Yeah can't say I've tried subscribing from Beehaw to lemmy.ml recently. I've mostly been sticking with lemmy.world as my main login server.
