Where can we suggest new communities? I'm surprised at the lack of Pathfinder 2e, Fate and Genesys communities at the least ๐
Also, I think the server may need an update?
Since Lemmy is kind of like a bunch of small separate Reddits, its very possible that a community you are looking for already exists; its just on a different Lemmy server. But fear not! You can be the person to connect it so everyone here can see it and start to interact with it!
Use this site to search for other communities that might not yet be on this instance: https://lemmyverse.net/communities
You should find a good handful of communities around D&D, Pathfinder, Fate, etc. When you find one you are interested in, you can visit it directly, but since you probably don't have an account on that server, you won't be able to post or comment there until you connect it to ttrpg.network by subscribing to it.
Mouse over the link (it should pop up with "Click to Copy"), and copy it. Then come back here, open the search page, and search for the link you just copied. You should get a result that you can click on, but notice this time you are viewing it through ttrpg.network, so you can interact with it with your account here. Click "subscribe", and everyone here will also start to see posts from that community.
Congrats! You have just made one link in the Fediverse, connecting everyone here to a community somewhere else.
I get a 404 error: https://ttrpg.network/c/[email protected]
Did you access it via the search function here on ttrpg.network? The link you provided won't work until someone searches "[email protected]" from here and visits it through the link in the search results at least once.
That search does not bring up any results for me...
Are you searching from a web browser? I know the Jerboa for Android app does not correctly search into other instances yet.
When I search from my laptop, this is what I see:
I'm missing that line (and getting an error to upload screenshots). Could there be some permission limitations on this instance?
Very possible. This may be a question for @eerongal. It does indeed look like this instance is stuck an older version of Lemmy as well (17.4; the latest is 18.0 or 18.1 by now), so this may be a bug which requires an update to fix.
