I use this from time to time as well. It's amazing what a simple checklist can do to help.

OK I love this analogy XD

I'm not a hardcore player or anything, but I was kind of unhappy with the changes. Others were mentioning how every class is being made to act the same, and I kind of see that. I like it when classes have unique abilities so there's a reason to roll different characters and bring certain classes along. Everything else looks great imo.

I'm on a Lemmy instance, and the sidebar does not show the rules like it does on kbin. I had to manually go navigate to kbin to see them. Maybe you should put the rules in a post that's pin? Is that a thing?

Thank you for the excellent explanation! I can certainly appreciate this stance and why you and the other admins might want to be sure to do this in the right way, if ever. It's enough for me to know it's in the back of your minds.

In the meantime, do you have any suggestions for a provider to host such a space?

This was cross-posted from the neurodivergence community, but I don't think it's a very good fit. Without getting into the nuances, CPTSD is situational, or it's caused by a confluence of factors, and is a negative aspect of people's lives requiring support. Neurodivergence is more often something that's biological, and not usually negative, and can be celebrated.

A more appropriate broad categorization would be something like a mental health community, but even then, sadly, people who suffer from CPTSD have been through some horrific, NSFL, things. Having a separate community would probably be best for both sides: those who have CPTSD, and those who don't, and probably wouldn't want to read some of the things in people's posts.

Anyway, I was wondering if there was a place people could request new communities, but it sounds like the admins largely decide based on what they see on the fediverse?

Do you think this is a Lemmy bug? Are retries not happening as they should? Or maybe this suggests that there's no queue of "federated actions" and it's really whether you get lucky when you make the attempt?

Thanks for the data point! So it's probably something on lemmy.ml's end.

I just edited my post. I'm going to see if we can get one created.

 

It seems like there is some interest in this:

I've used https://reddit.com/r/cptsd as a support group for awhile. It never felt right to post such sensitive discussions onto a platform controlled by a tech company trying to monetize its content, so I was really happy when things like Lemmy began taking off. In my opinion, support communities belong in user-owned spaces like this.

I use Beehaw as a provider, and I thought it might be a good place to host a CPTSD community because of Beehaw's rules and ethos. I had a look at what's existing, and this is the closest one I could find. There's [email protected] (am I referring to that correctly?), but it's dead.

Is anyone aware of a good CPTSD community, or would there be interest/support in creating one on Beehaw?

 

Hello Beehaw! I understand lemmy.ml is overloaded, but I wanted to see if there was a different explanation for why this is the case. Am I in a moderation queue? Is something on Beehaw backed up? Or something else?

It's not a major inconvenience, this is just pure curiosity.

I don't know if it was supposed to come out this summer, or if we were just supposed to get a reveal this summer. Either way, summer's not actually here yet!

We'll see what happens I guess. I still enjoy the content that's already there, and they seem to be making good changes all around (balance patches notwithstanding), so I'm very hopeful for the games future.

I'm in the US, and my family was fortunate to be able to move states. I'm still worried what will happen with the next US presidential election and whether we'll have to flee the country. There was a news article recently that told the story of a trans child whose family was also moving. I found out they lived in my old neighborhood :( I am angry and scared and sad for these kids.

Meanwhile, everyone I know who is not queer is very dismissive when I try and talk about this stuff. They either accuse me of exaggerating, or assure me it will never get worse (worse? than what? literally having to move? people being denied healthcare? emergency care?).

I also have a lot of anxiety being around kids. Because of all the stupid propaganda about queer people being groomers, I feel like someone's going to accuse me of something, but I'm an anxious person to begin with.

I'm also afraid to travel to "red states" (something that doesn't actually exist). It might help you to know that I recently did, and everyone was friendly.

I think the real tragedy here is that most people are supportive of queer people, but there's this tiny group of people shouting really loudly and making it seem like the world's out to get us.

And for the record, I'm not letting these people prevent me from doing the things I want to do. That's what they want.

I don't know where the issue is, but I also can't seem to subscribe to any lemmy.ml communities. I think maybe that instance is overloaded.

 

And what do you think about the new format for releases?

I think it's true that nothing captures the imagination of the community like a big new expansion, but it sounds like that's not what expansions will be going forward.
