Hi folks! I’m adding a new rule under Allowed Content:
Advertisements to other fediverse communities focused on Guild Wars 2
For those of you that are new to federated social media, you might be wondering why this is important. The fediverse is decentralized. A quick browse on the default homepage of kbin.social will show you content from other instances of Kbin and Lemmy. Searching #GuildWars2 will show you even more discussion from other federated servers.
If this magazine was the only place on the fediverse to discuss the game and kbin.social shut down (or if I turned out to be an overzealous mod who decided to only allow posts about DPS minstrel core thief), then that would be a huge problem! We’d find ourselves in the same situation we’re in right now with the loss of /r/guildwars2.
There’s a ton of very nice people around the fediverse who discuss the game. Any assistance posters want to provide in helping us find them is welcome. The conversation is not limited to kbin!
@a_cat Ok, so it looks like there’s no functionality to get the rules in a sidebar on a Lemmy server. I do know that the description will federate, so I’ll make a post with the text and link it in the description as a workaround.
Hopefully a standard for sidebars and pinned posts can be agreed upon between Kbin and Lemmy devs in the future :)
It also doesn’t show the community/magazine moderators when accessed via lemmy, so I had to look it up on the kbin.social server directly to see that you and randomm (the Randommuser from the GW2 subreddit?) are the moderators here.

@a_cat
Yep, that seems to be another issue that needs to be worked out. Similarly, I see the admin of my instance as the mod of any lemmy community.
(and yes, that randomm. nothing concrete on that front yet but i’d like to harness existing channels to bring more people onto federated social media :D)
