Boy I hope I'm using those terms correctly…

Hi everybody! Brand new here and whilst searching "All" I only found 2 Communities related to Pathfinder 2E. This one and "[email protected]".

Is that all of them?

When I spun this instance of Lemmy up, I think there were only two other communities out there. Most of them were inactive, I think the high number of communities on this instance and the timing of it are what got us the increased visibility. I'm happy to work with admins/mods/users of the other communities on aggregating here, or at least facilitating cross-posting and sharing of resources.

Looking at the Feddit Community browser, I see these communities that aren't a part of this Lemmy instance, they all look pretty inactive so far:

Those are also the only two communities I can find; I guess its all then? Lets make this instance grow now :)

I found this link an another PF2E article on Lemmy: https://pathfinder.social/communities

But it's asking me to Log In, and whether I try to login using my lemmy.world login, or create a new account, the screens just go into a 'progress spinner' and never recover.

Thanks Spez!

So patience is indicated.

Your account on lemmy.world only works on lemmy.world. But you can access those communities over there by using your own instance.

For example you want to access pf2general located on pathfinder.social. To do so go to your instance's search (https://lemmy.world/search) and punch in pf2general it should list it then in the search results, it may take some time for the sync to happen. Once you see it, click on the link and hit "subscribe". Congratulations you are now subscribed on a foreign federated lemmy instance.

Thank you for explaining how to navigate this Strange New World™! Much appreciated.

The progress spinner is a known issue that has been brought up to the Lemmy devs; if you try to log on where an account doesn't exist, or if you try to create an account with a duplicate email or username, Lemmy doesn't give any sort of error, or even stop, it just sits there.

@[email protected] covered the rest of your question; you can create an account on both communities, but it's really not necessary because of the federation. Hopefully the ActivityPub and fediverse developers make some QoL improvements to this in the future because it is a little clunky coming from something that's been in development for over a decade.

Thanks for explaining what's happening!

There is also [email protected], however kbin.social is currently struggling with the influx of new users, so the federation with it is a bit broken. Should be fixed in a few days hopefully.

@[email protected] For Pathfinder specific stuff, I've only seen the lemmy.ml one and the pathfinder.social communities.

Here are the ones I found today when I signed up on lemmy.world:

@shadedmagus @[email protected] Wooo! That’s a great start: “Big things have small beginnings.”

i recently created the pathfinder sh.itjust.works/c/pathfinder_kingmaker community to have a place for people fleeing to lemmy to talk about the video games pathfinder kingmaker and pathfinder wotr. I could not find a place on lemmy for this elsewhere.

If there is a better place for pathfinder video game discussion let me know!

I've been here (Lemmy) for less than a week, so I have nothing to add. : )
