Well hello there. (self.dndnext)

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)

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

Hello from pathfinder.social!

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Jerboa is decent. Probably take a while to get sync/relay/Apollo quality apps, but this is a good start. Definitely better than mobile.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Oh i don’t think there’s an “official” app. Lemmy is too decentralized for that.

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.

[–] jake_eric 2 points 2 years ago

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)

There's a couple other dnd communities on different servers. [email protected] [email protected] -- and several others. I'm moderating the one on lemmy.ca. I'll add a link to this one on the sidebar there.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

wait, you prep for your sessions?!?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Personally I am using kbin.social to get in. I find the interface for finding magazines easier. I actually registered with a google login I have as was easier as it yahoo mail (my go to for spam) was not recieving the email to register. But with Google was one click
