Yeah, they make their bridges available for self hosting if you want to go that route too! Or you can just use their service if you don’t want to mess with that (aka me lol).

Yeah, Beeper is what I use because I’m lazy. Having everything in one app so just too convenient.

Nice, some of my material is also ttrpg related so that’s especially helpful haha Thanks!

No doubt, this is the best mushroom book imo. It’s on my shelf as I type this.

It’s a terrible platform for minor authors.

Mind if I ask what a better option would be? Looking to release some work myself in the next year and was going to start looking at which options would be best.

Also, this pages where it is impossible to select any text at all.

On android, you can still select text on those pages from the switch apps screen (swipe up from the bottom, hold, then release on Pixels). Found that workaround on accident lol

Yeah, I’ll give that a try and see if they can increase storage per user and what I’d need to do to help with the load. I didn’t think to make the request on GitHub though, I’ll definitely check to see if anybody else made that suggestion/request and put it in if not.

That’s a good point, I’ll reach out to instance admins about that and see if that’s doable. Thanks for the suggestion!

Yeah, somebody else suggested that in another reply too. I’ll give that a go and hopefully that can address my issues with the platform. Thanks!

Running my own instance unfortunately isn’t a feasible option for me at this moment in my life. I’ll be looking into that in the future when I’m in a better spot but it’s not an option for a lot of creatives. I may have the technical knowledge to run and upkeep an instance but most artists aren’t that tech savvy. So this will remain a problem for Pixelfed attracting artists even if I run my own instance.

I wanted to pursue Pixelfed as an artist and post my work there but every instance I found seemed to have a 1GB storage limit which just isn’t super viable long term. Maybe if they have a way where individuals can link their own cloud storage service or something? If the instance owners don’t want to host all that media? That’s the main thing holding me back from investing more energy into that platform for now though. I’d love to be able to get away from Instagram but for artists it’s still pretty much required for anybody who wants to find clients (especially now with Twitter what it is).

Edit: some great suggestions in the replies, I’ll follow up with instance admins and see what solutions I can find that way. As well as looking into the request on GitHub mentioned by Gabe. Thank you everyone ☺️

I just found it the other day and subscribed to some of the communities! I don’t have anything to post there myself just yet but am finishing up Mort now and plan to do a little write up. I always loved the quotes from Discworld but I really should’ve started reading it ages ago.

Let this be yet another reminder that you should always browse with some kind of AdBlock enabled.

Europeans seem to vastly overestimate Americans ability to afford to do that.

This part, I’m struggling to stay afloat I can’t splurge for a intercontinental trip. I can, however, drive my car for a day or less and be in a completely different biome/culture. Each state is essentially it’s own country with it’s own laws and cultures. An overarching American influence but each place is definitely unique to itself.

I like to learn a language not so much out of practicality though because you’re right, we can speak to everyone here with English. I like to learn a language just for the mental benefits of training my brain and learning more about another culture.

Is this some UTC joke I’m too PDT to understand?

Thanks for the reminder on the universal link! I’ll edit the links I posted earlier.

There is also !worldbuilding@lemmygrad.ml

Yeah, but it’s lemmygrad, that’s a pass from me 😬

Also, is there a community on Lemmy about world building?

There’s a couple I’m in that I was going to start posting in.

For Pathfinder: !genworldbuilding@pathfinder.social

General Worldbuilding: !worldbuilding@lemmy.ml

Other than that pretty much any of the writing communities are open to discussion of worldbuilding.

(Those links are for the instance I’m on, I forget how to format that universal link and I’m being lazy) A nice commenter below unlazied me.

I love this! I’m going to contact my local uni’s tech dept to see if that’s something they’d be interested in participating in if they’re not already.
