Why would you create an account on every server? You can access any community on any server that your server is federated with.

I don’t disagree that it’s a weakness. But that just is how it is for now. I’d guess that it will settle down to a few dozen “strong” instances that are all federated together, with hundreds more smaller instances available, but right now there are like 5 super-packed instances (lemmy.world, sh.itjust.works, kbin.social, etc) which are getting killed with a double-whammy: all the users and all the communities are on them.

Create an account off of lemmy.world and see if you have the same issues. A smaller instance can handle things easier. It have 2 but use the one that was most up-to-date and responsive.

“Penetrating oil” sounds like a WD 40 competitor, meaning a solvent rather than a lubricant. A lithium grease is what I use for that sort of thing, which I happen to use the WD40 version of (it’s a yellow and gray there, rather than red and blue).

Same here. I have a 9 year account on Reddit with only a few hundred posts and karma; by the time I found something worth posting about anything I posted would either drown out in the noise or essentially already be posted.

This is correct; until someone on those remote instances searches (or maybe subscribes?) then the c/ultralight won’t be federated to those remote instances. You should use a larger community as your test case, if you are trying to verify federation, or take is a sign that your (very niche?) ultralight community just hasn’t got many subscribers yet.

I’m super-cheap so I have 5: from D&D i have the 3.5e and 5e PHBs, and Xanathar & Tasha which were gifts, and i have the PF2e CRB. (I do have a lot of PF2e pdfs though.)

I don’t know how people built characters before the advent of tools like DDB and Pathbuilder/Nexus that auto-incorporate all the content. I can’t imagine hitting higher levels as a spell caster and having to flip through multiple books to figure out my next spells; I had a hard enough time with 2 books for a non-PHB subclass 5e barbarian. I just bought the subclass on DDB and it’s transparent what the source is.

That’s the ugliest tomato I’ve ever seen on a burger!

I’m doing my part!

I disagree completely but I appreciate your candor and, frankly, accurate analysis.

Since I’m still relatively new to the system, it has to be flavor first, but that’s changing as i gain experience. My first char was (still is I guess) an Investigator and let me tell you, that is a tough class to start with. It breaks (in a good way) the fundamental “roll d20 to attack” mentality which threw off me, our new-to-PF GM, and the VTT.

My next was a Champion with Bastion (free) archetype, but I’ve ret-conned as I learn more rules to be Lastwall Sentry instead of Bastion. Champion and Bastion just had too much overlap- in other words the Champion alone satisfied my flavor-needs for protection and shield power.

I can’t find a single one of those in the app store, all they all in beta or some developer mode?
