Self parody.

 #Mordheim, #WarhammerFantasy, #DND, #PikeandShotte and #KillTeam are the main fare here, but hobby magpie-ism will inevitably lead to other nonsene. Side Quest: Boost Hobby content here. Only boosting stuff with an ALT text. Boost quite a bit, so if that’s not why you’re following for I’d mute boosts from me. (He/Him)

nostr:npub1gwxqq9vf4psa9raanw09wdpw46y0983tlnpg2h9x75g3vcgv8ltqrumnh2 hah, rereading the original toot, I’m definitely at risk of, and would be happily accepting of, some sarcasm in response, a very fair point 😂

I suppose if I polish up the old toot-thought up; what I’m more trying to say is - how would a community of fractured wargaming types all collectively agree and compile a list for something like this, something that was a gold standard of “this’ll get you going”.

nostr:npub1gwxqq9vf4psa9raanw09wdpw46y0983tlnpg2h9x75g3vcgv8ltqrumnh2 you’ve me thinking now again - dangerous, half thinking what if each instance had a bot that boosted content from accounts on their instance set to public, which met the “trending” criteria. You’d get a wee list of say 10/20 of these bots, and you’d instantly get a feed of anything interesting happening across Hobbyodon. Watch me go down a mental rabbit hole 😂😂😂

nostr:npub1um7v2ckyhhdla7j22z4k8tr7l5g70kpyhqsstxwnynrzwt8dgwzsht2mt3 there is this place (here on the rpg page) https://communitywiki.org/trunk/grab/RPG

I guess if enough people add themselves to a tag (eg. wargame), then it becomes a place to point people to?

Not the best, but it is opt-in and has been around for a while, so maybe it'll still be there in a few years

nostr:npub1h6jn8hfg334fuwplpq6men05wqh2h2csxr79rq3j37nl22s2a22sds4nka as always you’re an invaluable treasure trove of the fediverse! Thank you!

This and the FediFollows are great resources. I suppose what I’m driving at taking another step that is a low hassle and a one stop starting point. One thing that I’d be keen on it being is an opt-in list.

nostr:npub1um7v2ckyhhdla7j22z4k8tr7l5g70kpyhqsstxwnynrzwt8dgwzsht2mt3 This is not to whine about mastodon being bad, it's just that I gravely misunderstood the promise of the todon network. Following people works but how do I discover people who are spread across instances I can't post to? I feel much more at home on Lemmy, it has the networked interactivity I hoped for from the fediverse at large.

nostr:npub146ase589phlr9jtvedw5n94a83mvsu5g5guyz0yj4u49l64e3n2qk7dckv ah that’s fair, I don’t think anyone ought to be slinging shite at eachother for for social they are using. Once you find something that works for you, it’s what works!

nostr:npub1um7v2ckyhhdla7j22z4k8tr7l5g70kpyhqsstxwnynrzwt8dgwzsht2mt3 not gonna lie, this is what keeps me away from engaging on Mastodon. I built a Pixelfed account to store my painted content as I hoped it will be nicely interactive with the entire fediverse.

It's hardly interactive with itself. If I wanted to get attention from the several minipainting instances I'd best create several accounts and post to them all. I do put hashtags under all my Pixelfed posts, but this helps nothing for reach.

nostr:npub146ase589phlr9jtvedw5n94a83mvsu5g5guyz0yj4u49l64e3n2qk7dckv is that the fractured nature of the hobby here? Some of the smooth running between instances and various apps of the #Fedi is less than smooth I’d agree.

Reach issue may be down to the pixelfed being on a server that’s not federated (no one follows you from say Warhammer.Social) so no one would see the posts.

I think pixelfeds integration was a little ropey at the start but is better now. I’ll give you a follow, and check if that brings your post into the timelines..

nostr:npub1x6hytewfqd35kd0h4ewc4m7w3z33n509q4wmppuwtg0hzgggqcds4h93hw been so long I can’t remember, but I’m here so the ux/i for onboarding can’t be too bad 😂

This is a behaviourist perspective rooted in me, that people are a bit lazy, and if you’re not invested you’ve a limited well of effort you’ll expend on something your curious about.

So if there was something like a CSV upload that would give a newbie say 50 accounts to follow, and get them settled, would be less effort (maybe..) for the user than following the suggested lists click by click.

nostr:npub1x6hytewfqd35kd0h4ewc4m7w3z33n509q4wmppuwtg0hzgggqcds4h93hw obviously this is one for the users, not you/other admins to implement - that would be antagonistic 🤣

nostr:npub1um7v2ckyhhdla7j22z4k8tr7l5g70kpyhqsstxwnynrzwt8dgwzsht2mt3 the instance will suggest a few people to follow to new joiners (which ive configured). Ive never actually looked at what the ux is like for it though, or if its any good

Feel like the second bit is v relevant to #Hobbyodon #Miniatures #Minis #WarhammerCommunity #WarhamFam. Seen folks appear and tongue in cheek toot “Is this thing on?”. Then leave.

The nature beast means we’re all a bit fractured across, dice.camp, warhammer.social, gamepad.club, wargamers.social, many tabletops.somethings. That’s quite good in many ways, one downside is when you land it’s hard to get your bearings and see there’s lots happening on the #Hobbyverse.

So, after that daft bit of driving yesterday I managed a bit of a Hobby Session with my one of my best pals. I can safely say that that Hobby is the best medicine.

nostr:npub1g803e3lk30p57ec0key4vrrywuex6jfxh3nferk7d4upyg7ndhrqv7gp3k you’re more than welcome! Think you’ve brought a hell of a lot of joy with those Orks - it was top of the list to natter about here last night for the post drive hobby and beer natter and wind down.

nostr:npub1ddhrdjsgegh8yqmzmh2mlu64mas7sjxxffeyy20k4skygd82zjwqj28a5v you are more than welcome! The FediPaint is just such a great idea! So good I didn’t get to even mention you excellent hobby stuff! 😂

Two folks that are on Mastodon instances but who gotten themselves miniature.photography as well.

nostr:npub1wa2yg2pwtumz0tvkhevhtxe7275hlrtgfjwk24knrx0x3ypetpdqu5sy3s - generally a great spread, but has some admech on the go right now and they’re shaping up to look amazing

nostr:npub1cpv0zkkj3546jefzsdn75kve075j7z8jq5z9j6v48sastn32ceas7smgrv - just started very recently and there’s been a photo dump of lots of amazing death guard.

Just finished 6 hours of driving and I’m going to tell you all some #FF, imagine how good these accounts must be. You should definitely follow them.

nostr:npub1g803e3lk30p57ec0key4vrrywuex6jfxh3nferk7d4upyg7ndhrqv7gp3k - you have to see the Orks he’s just completed. They’re pitch perfect.

nostr:npub1ddhrdjsgegh8yqmzmh2mlu64mas7sjxxffeyy20k4skygd82zjwqj28a5v - the brain behind the #FediPaint, if you haven’t seen this yet, it’s a great initiative.

nostr:npub12uueptef883m64vjh4qj58z87qumf6uzl7vd3m5x3rgmcxv0y0lsz3wtpg - A cracker. Endless amazing pictures of minis.

nostr:npub1g803e3lk30p57ec0key4vrrywuex6jfxh3nferk7d4upyg7ndhrqv7gp3k many welcomes, I’m really enjoying looking at them. The skin tones are memorising, just love these.

And the important question everyone in the world of the #WarhammerCommunity and #Miniatures #Wargaming is asking - I reckon we’d get at least 6 4’x6’ tables in that space and there’s a country pub walkable nearby 🤣
