Hey! I just got here so this is my first Lemmy post! (TL;DR at the bottom)

I wasn’t really planning on leaving reddit because I got used to it. But after checking out lemmy which I heard mentioned here and there I managed to understand the layout a little better and annoying the apps for it weren’t working for me so browser will do.

Anyways, if reddit stays the path it’s on and doesn’t fix its mistakes and whatever, r/pumparum might not return and I couldn’t find an equivalent here. For those that don’t know, r/pumparum was a subreddit where you could ask for trades with other players for different items and then give something in return. It was mainly for DS3 but I think I saw a couple for other games too, there’s also r/PatchesEmporium for Elden Ring that does the same. Obviously the trades work better on DS3 and Elden Ring because of passwords but it could work for other games too if you can get the SL right.

I hardly bothered needing much and just did free giveaways but it was good fun to do the giveaways and stuff and want to do more, but with r/pumparum out of the picture, do you lot know where I could go instead on here? Or is this community good for mentioning/requesting trades? Or is anyone willing to make a community for this? Because I thought about it and figured I’m new to Lemmy and wouldn’t have the time or knowhow of moderating a community here. (Also I’m on PC DS3 if anyone wants anything at all ;), not available on Saturdays and Sundays, timezone BST)

TL;DR: is there a DS3 trading community on Lemmy or is here good? Or is someone willing to make and moderate a trading community? Also I do free PC DS3 in game trading giveaways if anyone wants anything, just let me know, not available on Saturdays and Sundays, timezone BST.

    I was just trying to figure out the modmail thing and it looks like it requires the sub to be open and going to the info and whatever and I dont remember the mods’ usernames, r/pumparum is currently privated so everything related to it is gone so I don’t think that’s an option right now sadly

    Also I clicked the link and thats a cool site, but I dont know how it works, “suggest a link” is greyed out and I’m not seeing a menu button or anything just “report a link”, “stats for nerds” and all the communities in alphabetical order

      Oh you’re right, the admin disabled submitting because they couldn’t handle the amount of submissions They’re working on it apparently

      I didn’t know about being unable to use modmail on private subs ::(

      Sorry i couldn’t help, good luck on your quest to trades and giveaways

        I just made !pumparum and now I have work for the next 2 days, so let’s see if something happens as a result for this post and then on Monday I will make another actual post here again saying I made it in case people overlooked this post as well as a little description and will check the link you gave me to see if I can post it there yet, also I will post it on r/DarkSouls3 or something like that assuming r/pumparum is still private at that point.

        If you (or anyone else who sees this) has any more ideas like other subs to post it in or communities here or other sites like the one you nust gave me or if there’s anyone who wants to help mod the new community, feel free to reply and/or PM me (however PMing works on here lol, I’m assuming it should appear in my inbox and that should hopefully appear in my emails which is how I have set up the notifications for this, which is different to usual as I always use apps for stuff like this and not browsers. Especially considering my emails dont even notify me right away, sometimes they only update like right before I try to go to sleep facepalms)
