You can also sign up to other RPG communities, like the original on lemmy.ml.
I wonder if people will coalesce on a single community, or if each community will have their own tendencies and specializations.

I've never played it, but I've had a mess around with the SRD.
Instead of markdown and html versions, I've made it into just a markdown version, with a script to output html and an epub.
I can't put in all the symbols and such in, as I have no idea what the original book looks like.
All PRs welcome.
Haggis whiskers are similar, but quite rare nowadays.
One of the greatest joys of federation, is de-federation.
Kbin is very young software. The dev was doing really well, then /u/spez dumped 10-bajillion users on it. I'm surprised the servers are still operating.
Lemmy's a lot more mature, but it's never been tested with this kind of traffic. It's impressive that any of these sites are still going. I'd give it at least another month until things settle, adjustments are made, instances update, et c. et c.
An art instance is a brave move. Lemmy takes up a lot of disk space already, but encouraging images means a lot more disk space. Lemmy also allows multiple images per post.
I don't think anyone can tell where we're going. Mastodon.social was the largest instance by far for some time, then at the deluge, it splintered.
Part of the reason for Mastodon to fracture is specialization - each instance does something unique. Maybe Lemmy will do the same, maybe not.
But if we end up with 3 primary instances, it's still decentralized - I think the most useful feature of Lemmy isn't that we're spread out, it's that we could be.
Cheers.
Edited.
As I understand it, it goes something like this:
- You are on lemmy.cafe and ask to follow [email protected].
- lemmy.cafe asks to follow [email protected]
- kbin.org makes a note to update lemmy.cafe every time someone posts to the cats magazine (but not previous posts).
- Someone else on lemmy.cafe looks at the 'global' feed.
- lemmy.cafe shows the [email protected] posts, along with all the other remote posts that were requested, and all the local posts.
- You upvote a cute cat post.
- kbin.org interprets this as a 'like' (or whatever)
The language these services share is called 'ActivityPub'.
Good to see ya here Malin :)
New protocol. Who dis?
I might have to run (part) of this one day with something like World of Dungeons by John Harper.
It'd work great with any OSR-style system, but I MUST INSIST UPON THE WHOLE THING. All the factions interacting have a chance to make the game a political shitshow in the best possible way.
I've edited to add the hover text, just to test. It's working!
This place looks plenty minimalist to me.
