FYI, i see a lot of users joining, but not many people are actually subscribing to the communities. Subscribing to the communities you like will help them grow within the fediverse and be easier to discover!

I’m kinda waiting for other game communities to get created. The few systems represented here aren’t interesting to me.
You can subscribe to lemmy communities outside of ttrpg.network.
For example, you found this interesting https://pathfinder.social/c/pf2general
Follow the instruction on the blue block on the right:
I’m still not 100% on how this protocol works.
How can ttrpg.network also subscribe to pathfinder.social? Does the lemmy network aggregate on all these links on the backend?
Also, is there a front end that can link all these different communities on one page?
EDIT: The upvotes being blue are going to confuse the hell out of me for a while.
Yes, the networks all “federate” together. Basically they all talk to each other and share information. For the networks to see each other, though, they need to be made aware of each other, which can take a bit of poking around to do.
As for seeing different communities in one page: Yes. Go to the home page of any instance and click on the “all” button at the top (right next to local). There’s also a button to only see a feed from communties you are subscribed to (both locally and on other servers)
Edit: and looks like we’re already federated with pathfiner.social, so you can see and subscribe to all their communities with your account here. You can just use the search feature at the top to find em.
https://ttrpg.network/c/[email protected]
Gotcha! so the slash c is for community and then if you have a @whatever.tld is a feed from a different “site”. Makes sense.
yep, basically. The “/c/” is literally the equal of “/r/” on reddit. If the community is local, then the “@<url>” part can be omitted. So like the dndnext community here is just https://ttrpg.network/c/dndnext
This did not work for me. No results came up.
example search:
https://ttrpg.network/search/q/!pf2general%40pathfinder.social/type/All/sort/TopAll/listing_type/All/community_id/0/creator_id/0/page/1
now just click [email protected] , and subscribe.
After this, pathfinder will be listed under communities for everyone, and it’s easier to join. https://ttrpg.network/communities/listing_type/All/page/1
Yeah same. I mostly play Exalted, Lancer, and smaller indie games, and there’s not really a community for any of that
