Since Lemmy is kind of like a bunch of small separate Reddits, its very possible that a community you are looking for already exists; its just on a different Lemmy server. But fear not! You can be the person to connect it so everyone here can see it and start to interact with it!

Use this site to search for other communities that might not yet be on this instance: https://lemmyverse.net/communities

You should find a good handful of communities around D&D, Pathfinder, Fate, etc. When you find one you are interested in, you can visit it directly, but since you probably don't have an account on that server, you won't be able to post or comment there until you connect it to ttrpg.network by subscribing to it.

Mouse over the link (it should pop up with "Click to Copy"), and copy it. Then come back here, open the search page, and search for the link you just copied. You should get a result that you can click on, but notice this time you are viewing it through ttrpg.network, so you can interact with it with your account here. Click "subscribe", and everyone here will also start to see posts from that community.

Congrats! You have just made one link in the Fediverse, connecting everyone here to a community somewhere else.

The server is a version behind but the latest version temporarily removed captchas which can help a bit with spam accounts, so that might be why the admins are waiting to update. Still, I'm pretty sure most Android apps only support the latest version so it would be nice if we can update sooner rather than later!

I’m surprised at the lack of Pathfinder 2e

There's actually a dedicated lemmy isntance for pathfinder, pathfinder.social; while i'm not necessarily against having a community here, i didnt know if there would be as much of a need consider that.

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:

You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !pf2general@pathfinder.social

Yeah same. I mostly play Exalted, Lancer, and smaller indie games, and there's not really a community for any of that

Currently, we're set up so that only admins can create communities, but we could also be configured to allow anyone to create them. For the moment, we've opted to go this route while we're starting up, but we might revisit that decision later and change it. That said, i can create a community for you if you want, what do you want the /c/ name (like a /r/ for a sub on reddit) to be?

Yeah, unfortunately i dont have any answers there. Obviously i have no ways to influence other instances, but it will be interesting to see what happens in the future as lemmy continues to expand and grow. I would suspect it will probably play out like reddit, where there are duplicate communities (albeit with different names on reddit) where one gets far more popular than the other (say r/dnd vs r/dungeonsanddragons) and people naturally gravitate towards the one they prefer, the larger community or the smaller one.
