Okay, so I have just spent time faffing about and getting access to this, instead of prepping my session that is starting in an hour.

Time to crack out those random tables again.

I posted in reddit how to get this working... Others may find it useful to have it listed here.

(this is on android mobile) (not included the click by click, as likely you will find the correct buttons yourself)

Create an account with lemmy.world
Do not use autofill/copy pasting when filling in the account information
Wait for the account verification email to arrive and follow the link (took about 20 minutes max for me for the email to arrive).
Log in to lemmy.world on the lemmy.world website...
Search for [email protected] (set everything to All where possible).
Subscribe/book mark that one.
If you want, install the app Jerboa for Lemmy.
Make sure you set your instance (Lemmy.world) and account details in that.
It will automatically know you have a subscription to ttrpg.network dndnext

How’s the app working for you? I’m just using the mobile site.

There's an app?

I found some 3rd pary app for Lemmy called Jerboa. It was the first result in the android app store. What's the official app?

[–] jake_eric 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm pretty sure Jerboa is official. Or at least it's the closest thing to it.

I'm using it right now and it's, well, it's pretty decent all things considered.

Yeah, I think I'll prefer the app over a website - though both seem pretty similar in features and interface.

I am not loving the process of searching out different communities, and having to book mark them, occasionally waiting for approval to join etc - but I guess it kinda has to be that way initially to get started (not too dissimilar to discord).

I have got wonder about commmity fracture as people move off reddit, but time will have to tell with that one.

I subscribed to literally thousands of subreddits, so adding communities to my new hoard has been kinda fun lol.

As far as I can tell being "Pending" to join a community doesn't really make a difference, since it still shows up for me and I don't think you have to have actually joined to be able to interact.

I'm expecting that once third party apps actually die, we'll see another jump in migration away from Reddit. But I'm sure a ton of people will still stay there, so there will be some weirdness. People will probably double-post or cross post a decent amount. We'll just have to see how things shake out. Who knows, maybe the board will fire Spez and everything will go back the way it was! (but I'm not holding my breath)
