Figured it out! In the search options, make sure it's set to "All" and not "Communities". For whatever reason, that seems to be the issue for me.

This is in a browser, not on Jerboa. I don't know how to make it work there.

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.

If they're trying to kill third party apps, why do you think the solution is making essentially a third party app? Even if you go the web scraping route, I guarantee if this actually gets any traction Reddit will start making subtle semi-randomized changes to their DOM to make scraping as difficult as possible.

They want you on Reddit's app and site to show you ads. They will make it as hard as they can to avoid them.

The only realistic solution is to build communities here to replace the ones on Reddit.

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.
