Why are you browsing on a different instance? Stay on lemmy.world and search for communities from there. You should be able to see like http://lemmy.world/c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml. Note that you are on your instance but the @ tells it to grab the community from the other.
You have a right to that job! Everyone gets a bit of Imposter Syndrome every now and then. The realization that the entire World is run, every day, and built up, for centuries, by average people like you, and yet it continues to function relatively well. We are all out here just doing our best, day by day, just trying to do something that makes the World a slightly better place.
I don’t disagree that it’s a weakness. But that just is how it is for now. I’d guess that it will settle down to a few dozen “strong” instances that are all federated together, with hundreds more smaller instances available, but right now there are like 5 super-packed instances (lemmy.world, sh.itjust.works, kbin.social, etc) which are getting killed with a double-whammy: all the users and all the communities are on them.
Create an account off of lemmy.world and see if you have the same issues. A smaller instance can handle things easier. It have 2 but use the one that was most up-to-date and responsive.
“Penetrating oil” sounds like a WD 40 competitor, meaning a solvent rather than a lubricant. A lithium grease is what I use for that sort of thing, which I happen to use the WD40 version of (it’s a yellow and gray there, rather than red and blue).
Same here. I have a 9 year account on Reddit with only a few hundred posts and karma; by the time I found something worth posting about anything I posted would either drown out in the noise or essentially already be posted.
This is correct; until someone on those remote instances searches (or maybe subscribes?) then the c/ultralight won’t be federated to those remote instances. You should use a larger community as your test case, if you are trying to verify federation, or take is a sign that your (very niche?) ultralight community just hasn’t got many subscribers yet.
I’m super-cheap so I have 5: from D&D i have the 3.5e and 5e PHBs, and Xanathar & Tasha which were gifts, and i have the PF2e CRB. (I do have a lot of PF2e pdfs though.)
I don’t know how people built characters before the advent of tools like DDB and Pathbuilder/Nexus that auto-incorporate all the content. I can’t imagine hitting higher levels as a spell caster and having to flip through multiple books to figure out my next spells; I had a hard enough time with 2 books for a non-PHB subclass 5e barbarian. I just bought the subclass on DDB and it’s transparent what the source is.
That’s the ugliest tomato I’ve ever seen on a burger!
I’m doing my part!
I disagree completely but I appreciate your candor and, frankly, accurate analysis.
Since I’m still relatively new to the system, it has to be flavor first, but that’s changing as i gain experience. My first char was (still is I guess) an Investigator and let me tell you, that is a tough class to start with. It breaks (in a good way) the fundamental “roll d20 to attack” mentality which threw off me, our new-to-PF GM, and the VTT.
My next was a Champion with Bastion (free) archetype, but I’ve ret-conned as I learn more rules to be Lastwall Sentry instead of Bastion. Champion and Bastion just had too much overlap- in other words the Champion alone satisfied my flavor-needs for protection and shield power.
I can’t find a single one of those in the app store, all they all in beta or some developer mode?
Why would you create an account on every server? You can access any community on any server that your server is federated with.
