Cosmere Discussion

540 readers
1 users here now

A place to discuss stories set in Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere! Non-Cosmere series such as Skyward are also welcome here.

Make sure to tag spoilers. Posts titles should begin with [Book title] to denote what spoilers can be discussed in the thread without tags. i.e [Words of Radiance] or [WoR]

Warning! Spoiler markup currently does not work on the Jerboa or Mlem apps. Spoiler text will be plainly visible when viewing from these apps.

Any comments with spoilers outside the scope of the book mentioned in the title, or books preceding it in a series should be tagged. Lemmy's spoiler formatting for post bodies and comments is:

[Spoiler label here]

[Spoiler text here]

I wasn't able to find an existing community for Cosmere fans on Lemmy yet, so figured I'd get one spun up.

For now I dropped some basic spoiler guidelines in the sidebar, namely to tag posts with the book being discussed, and tag any comments discussing spoilers outside the book stated in the title.

If the community winds up growing we can spin it out to more dedicated communities such as Mistborn, Stormlight, etc. But for now everything can just be lumped together here!

OH YAY!! I am super pumped there is a Cosmere presence over here. Not sure what is going to happen with Reddit but I have a** need **to discuss SA- I'm 35% through Rhythm of War and I can only imagine I'll need a support group when I finish it.

I love you for getting this up and running. I just started reading SP3 and was itching to go to reddit to discuss, but avoided the urge so I searched lemmy to find this community and am super happy to see this here. Thank you so much for taking the initiative to set this up!

I'm really glad this is here

On a reread of Mistborn era 2 but recently blazed my way through Tress of the Emerald Sea. Can’t wait to talk about cosmere theories and goodies with all you lovely people!

Yay, I found this place!

I think there's an issue with spoiler tags on Jerboa (as in, they don't work). Gonna test it to make sure

test

Test spoiler text

Is that the correct formatting? If so, it indeed doesn't work on Jerboa :(

I guess I know what I will do on the weekend now if the jerboa devs haven't by solved by then. Looks like markup in general doesn't work at all.

It also doesn’t look like it’s working on Mlem the iOS app.

I can see " test spoiler text" by default. I'm on connect for lemmy

Yeah, seems you're right. Looks like the spoiler tag works in the web browser, but not Jerboa. Definitely a much needed feature.

That's a pity, I don't really want to start talking about spoilers when an unsuspecting Jerboa user might get things spoiled for them.. I hope it gets added/fixed soon in the app!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The great thing is Jerboa is open source. I am hoping I have time this weekend to poke around and see if I can find a fix and submit it to the developer. I loved the way spoilers are treated on the various subreddits and definitely want to keep that here!
