Check the sidebar - it’s a generalist gaming community so share away. As a note there is also a dedicated ttrp community at [email protected] which can be joined from beehaw.
Thanks, I still have to get the hang of this "federation" of servers-thing. I found this beehaw community and the philosophy seemed welcoming and inclusive and so I went for this! I will check out the one that you linked above. Thanks!
Beehaw is lovely and a solid choice. But remember it's just your home instance where your account and some local communities live. You can still join and interact in communities from the other instances such as the one you've just been linked :)
No worries and yeah Beehaw’s great that’s the great thing about this platform, you can have a home base and still hang out elsewhere.

Kinda new to all this, I'm on lemmy.world and can't login to blahaj zone, how do I subscribe?
Figured it out! You need to search that community on your own instance and subscribe from there the links don't just work
The way it was explained to me is that the very first time a user searches from their own instance for a community on another instance and clicks it, it federates one server to the other, enabling all of the commenting, subscribing, etc. You were probably the first one from your instance to search for that, and now the link is created and everyone can.
Nice work. It's definitely one of the things that could be made easier at some point when the devs find a minute.
Help me out here. I'm 90% sure that I should be able to get to [email protected] on my instance just by clicking that link. But it takes me to that page in its original community, which is not useful at all. Even the link I just made goes to the page in lemmy.blahaj.zone... I can search for it from my instance, sure, but it would be much easier if I could just click it. Is there any way to do that? Maybe even a browser extension or a third party mobile app?
Unfortunately searching for it is probably the best way.
It is a little annoying but this is a common problem with federated social media services since links to content on different instances redirect to a whole different website.
Some apps like Jerboa have link handling for this built in for some of the larger instances, but It's a tough problem to solve since there could be an unlimited number of Lemmy instances each with their own separate URLs
Also pathfinder.social has a few different community for pathfinder and starfinder
