Oh hey, an Mbin-hosted community! Always nice to see.
Have you considered putting this on ttrpg.network?
I’m not personally interested in this myself, but props to you for continuing on after Kbin died.
So basically if anything happens with Obsidian, you can use Tangent as somewhat of a replacement? I took a brief look at their site and aside from not having as big an audience and I think not as many features, and also having a different look, not sure how Tangent is different.
I ask with genuine curiosity, I realize this reply can come off really dismissive when I’m just curious and want to engage with the post you made.
More used to seeing articles panic about video games, so it’s nice to see a positive article about them. Especially with a demographic not really known for playing them. I’m not the eSport type but this is going to be me when I am old, playing games while the kids yell at me to get off the ancient PC and get with the VR2000 times. It’s just nice to see people being happy and healthy.
I am guessing the one big thing might be a Map of Content (basically just a Table of Contents). A big cluster could be all the notes for a project, and all those notes would get listed and linked to in the Map of Content for easy access, and so they get one giant node here.
I am, totally forgot that I was. I do remember it’s smaller than !newcommunities@lemmy.world and sometimes gets duplicates, which is why I think I thought I did not bother.
I went to lemmy.world, the biggest community, searched the community list for my various interests, and picked one to subscribe to from there, generally favoring the largest community for it. Then I subbed to !newcommunities@lemmy.world. That’s how I did and do community discovery.
I’ve learned that checking comments in UpliftingNews is often counterproductive. Uplifting news, then someone posts a comment that just invokes depression all over again. Yes, I am directly referencing the user above you’s comment as one such comment—though just in case anyone is curious I didn’t downvote (in case one shows up), on topic, probably correct, and I don’t see anything on the sidebar saying depressing comments about how bad the thing the good news is opposing is would be against the rules.
So why am I in the comments now? Unfortunately bad habits are hard to break.
The will to post is there but the amount of journaling I do is zero and will remain so. I would post some of my PKMS stuff there if I did any this week, but right now I have not added anything to that.
I could put effort into contributing to my PKMS specifically to have stuff to post on the Fediverse but I also have things I need to do in my real life.
Thanks for the description. I don’t follow award ceremonies so just going by the title it is really unclear why is this supposed to be uplifting, and comes off as just typical celebrity news. The description tells me neatly, and lets me click on the article if I want further elaboration.
I appreciate that the sidebar manages to explain what this is for people out of the loop without linking to Reddit.

Okay that headline is hilarious and your description is too.
Might want to crosspost to !pokemon@lemm.ee
Disclaimer: have not actually read Lolita.
From what I know of it, if you just take it at face value it appears to be approving of pedophilia, because the narrator defends his pedophilia, but the perspective the author wants you to come away with is “wow, this protagonist defending his pedophilia is pretty disgusting.”
I definitely don’t think it should be banned, but a lot of people banned it thinking it was pro-pedophilia when that was the opposite of its point.
I am guessing you probably do not want a similar situation, where a fic taking a dump on bigotry (but not when read at purely face value, or just the narrators’ thoughts) gets removed on the grounds of positively portraying it. So that is one minefield I’d be careful of.

Well, I’m trying to help out but in the end I’m not really a journaler, nor do I have any desire to become one. I’m sorry.
I feel this also belongs in some technology community, just not sure which one. General technology? Is there something more specific that would fit?
