It wasn't the fact that there was a limit to see 1000 comments but what they were. The vast majority of my 12 years on Reddit I spent talking about dungeon and dragons 5th edition (DnD 5e) which I started playing early in is lifestyle. It was my first role playing game and I got sucked into the Internet to learn more. Before my first game I found dndnext where I could learn about the current edition. I spent hours and at least 1000 comments talking about playtests, new books, character concepts, rules, adventures and eventually the new onednd playtest.
If you aren't familiar with DnD you might be unfamiliar with their owner wizards of the coast (WoTC) which is part of Hasbro. WoTC has been awful this year, trying to rescind their open licence agreement which allows 3rd parties to operate. They broke their workers union with the Pinkertons and their are rumors their new edition will be digital only. I stopped even caring about the new playtests and completely disengaged with learning anything new.
So I was deleting comments on the old forum that provided me so much entertainment about the old game that I used to love. Both ruined in the same year but overwhelming greed. If that isn't the most millennial late stage capitalism experience I don't know what is.
I want to shout out to https://ttrpg.network/ for setting up my new DnD forum. It's been good to be on a new place to discuss the game at it's new onednd location
The dozen or more subs I had on Reddit is what I miss most of leaving. I found so many map makers, item crafters, homebrew writers, and so much interesting rule debating that I lost overnight.
Of course. People just want to connect with other people
Good thing we (map makers and other creators) are migrating to Lemmy too! I started posting my maps on various battle map communities here, and I've been chatting up some of the other creators to make the move as well!
Thanks! I forgot to search for battlemaps when subscribing. I hope more content gets posted on these instances. Do need to figure out why dnd content never hits my subscribed feed when I'm a member of life 2 dozen dnd channels.
I'm sure you can join ttrpg.network with a battlemap community. It's suppose to be a one stop shop for ttrpg
Some things about the fediverse still escape me. But I’m trying to learn.
I’m on memmy (iOS client) and clicking that link takes me to the apps browser rather than just navigating to the community. I’m guessing because it’s another instance? So I tried searching for the community in memmy’s search bar and I’m finding a bunch of tiny TTRPG groups but not that one from that instance
Still trying to figure out navigation here
