Welcome to the Pathfinder and Starfinder Lemmy Community.
As a response to Reddit’s recent changes to it’s API costs, I’ve decided to move towards using Lemmy as a link aggregation website. In doing so, I found that there was a lack of Pathfinder and Starfinder communities, so I decided to start one.
Right now this community runs on a t3.small instance on AWS because I had the terraform to spin that up ready to go. In the future I’ll be looking to move it to my homelab and hosting it from there.
I have a lot of respect for Paizo as a company, so I strive to stay within their community site guidelines. Please let me know if you notice anything that would violate their terms so I can resolve it immediately.
I’m also not very accustomed to running online communities. If anyone has suggestions or wants to help out, please let me know.
Hi! Dunno if you recognize me from our small chats the other day, SenseiRat. I’ve decided to migrate here, both to have a curated local feed of stuff I care about but also because .world was becoming a little too big (and decentralization is the point, after all!) and unmoderated for my liking (started being defederated by other instances and everything…), hopefully that’s ok!
Are there any plans on hosting a Matrix server or Mastodon/Clackey instance to go along with the Lemmy? Mastodon has dice.camp (which I wish was Clackey, the interface for it is a bit better), I suppose, but we’re sorely missing a Matrix for TTRPGs/Pathfinder - the public ones I could find, at least, were months-long dead with no members in it unfortunately.
I know there’s the PF2e Discord, but with Discord’s recent changes and all of the stuff with Reddit I’ve started to really favor federated alternatives.
I could put up a Matrix, I’m not sure when I’ll get to work on it, and I have some cleanup work I need to do on this instance, but I might be able to look at it on Monday.
For Mastodon/Clackey, I use Mastodon for my other fediverse account, which is more public facing and doesn’t have anything TTRPG related (all connected to this account), so I wasn’t thinking about setting it up, but I might consider putting one up, sometime after the Matrix instance goes up.
There’s no rush! I was just curious if you had any plans on placing down other formats in case other platforms struggle or people have preferences for other formats of discussion, mostly trying to get a feeler. Only do it if you want to ^^
So I checked out Calckey this morning and it looks really nice. I’ll add both to my list of projects.
