Is this a fine place to talk about table top RPGs? (beehaw.org)

Hello! I hope I am not off topic, this is literally my first day here (ok, maybe I should wait and know the community a bit better but I 'll try to be slightly bolder...if it's not ok just let me know). I understand that by choice there are no super focused communities to avoid an excessive fragmentation. So I wonder: is this the good place to discuss about tabletop RPGs? Coop/solo modes, too.

I am thinking about Call of Cthulhu, Savage Worlds, Gurps, Fate, ... And not only the usual super famous one!

I am a long time GM and sometimes player, both IRL and online, and currently I am playing a lot in solo mode (with the help of the mythic GM emulator).

Help me out here. I'm 90% sure that I should be able to get to !ttrpgs@lemmy.blahaj.zone on my instance just by clicking that link. But it takes me to that page in its original community, which is not useful at all. Even the link I just made goes to the page in lemmy.blahaj.zone... I can search for it from my instance, sure, but it would be much easier if I could just click it. Is there any way to do that? Maybe even a browser extension or a third party mobile app?

Unfortunately searching for it is probably the best way.

It is a little annoying but this is a common problem with federated social media services since links to content on different instances redirect to a whole different website.

Some apps like Jerboa have link handling for this built in for some of the larger instances, but It's a tough problem to solve since there could be an unlimited number of Lemmy instances each with their own separate URLs
