If you want to get your feet wet in the genre without diving into the bottomless pit of possibilities that is DF, I'd heavily recommend RimWorld. It's basically a simplified, streamlined DF with a futuristic space theme.

Absolutely enraging.
End of the month is gonna be D-Day when people need to make a decision. I'm pretty confident that a large majority will suck it up and switch to the official app, but that still leaves huge numbers of people that will be migrating. I hope Lemmy is ready for the real wave, this is all just precursor shit.
All that is a long-winded way of saying this is about to get a lot bigger.
Yes, that can absolutely happen. In fact, that exact situation is happening right now with !gaming@beehaw.org and !gaming@lemmy.ml
Not really an issue if you subscribe to both though.
In the longer term, I fully expect duplicate communities like that to resolve themselves with people predominantly using one over the other. EDIT: Or another possibility is that they might end up different due to moderation and rules (i.e: one is the memey gaming community and the other is the more serious one)
Swap from "Local" view to "All". It's on the top of the web page and in a menu top-left on Jerboa.
Wait, this community is for tabletop RPGs as well? Interesting. Was considering writing up a Shadowrun AAR post on !RPG@lemmy.ml (did I do that link right?), might post it here too if people are interested.
Having understood the fediverse on a theoretical level but not ever actually stepping into it, it's really amazing to see the interconnectedness of it in real time :)
I regularly plan to learn DF, then just play RimWorld instead. It really is DF for normies.
As a shadowrun GM, I really like those games. Rules-wise, they have very little in common with the tabletop RPG apart from using a few of the same words, but they capture the lore and the feel of the world really well.
Such a bizarre linguistic thing that's happened with woke. It's now essentially meaningless. What was once a legitimate term meaning "alert to racial prejudice". Now it just means "thing I don't like".
Hey! Glad to be part of the fediverse. Bit of a learning curve, but it's exciting and interesting!
Give it time. The enshittification will continue. If they don't leave now, maybe it'll be when old.reddit.com is removed. Or maybe it'll be once they eventually ban NSFW content once and for all. Or maybe they'll start requiring admin permission for certain actions. Or maybe it'll be when ads are more common than posts and unblockable.
I am very confident this won't be the last stupid thing they do in the runup to the IPO and beyond.
