Oh, wow, that must be brand new. Yeah, if someone is setting up a pathfinder focused instance with granular sub-communities that are well moderated, that could very easily overtake this community as the most popular pathfinder space.

I wouldn’t worry about posting here (or other lemmy.ml communities) overwhelming the server. I’ve seen recent posts where the admins say posts/comments aren’t the problem, it’s users joining too fast and browsing too much. So this is still a fine place to chat PF2e… though I’m definitely gonna go check out pathfinder.social and hopefully it takes off. This has not been very active.

Also I didn’t realize that lemmy.ml had a pathfinder community and honestly thought I found the https://pathfinder.social/ community…

FYI, communities without a server in their name are on your local server. So for you, Pathfinder2e would really be Pathfinder2e@lemmy.ml, because your account is on lemmy.ml. If I saw a Pathfinder2e community, it would be Pathfinder2e@lemmy.world, since that’s where my account is.

Remote communities have their server-name shown, so for me this community shows up clearly as Pathfinder2e.lemmy.ml since it’s a remote community for me. For both of us, a pathfinder.social community will be clearly marked as such since that’s not either of our home instances. You may have to search for !communityName@pathfinder.social to add the remote communities to lemme.ml’s community browser if you’re the first person to search them. Remote subs don’t show up until someone looks for them.

Having an account on lemmy.ml I think makes it easy to get confused about these things since so many of the big subs are local for you. I had to grapple with remote communities and federation immediately because I joined my server when it was like 2d old and it had almost no local communities except the ones admins use for announcements.

Anyhow, good luck and see you here and here and in the pathfinder.social communities.

I didn’t even know that was a thing. Subscribed!
