I first found the Guild Wars 2 community on lemmy.ml, but the site is so slow and it seems that the mod is no longer active?
Good to see that we have an alternative here. Hopefully the Guild Wars 2 community wont have trouble finding each other on Lemmy :D
I’m relatively new to the game (just finished PoF), helloo! I’m not a particularly active poster, but I shall be lurking in the shadows, watching the unwatchable memes someone will no doubt eventually post.
Welcome! I hope GW2 will get some traction on Lemmy, but only time will tell. I’ll try to be as active as possible here.
Hey!! I subbed to both, lets see which one survives
Nice! I honestly hope this one or another one NOT on lemmy.ml, because it is becoming to big and slow.
I hope at least just one does :D
Surely will, it doesn’t take that many people to form a community. We might not reach the sub count of reddit, but I think something smaller might be cool too :)
This one :P
Hi and welcome! Let’s hope we can get ourselves a GW2 community going.
As long as it’s not being run by the reddit mods, we should be fine. Those have turned into proper cunts in the last year, it wouldn’t bode well to transfer that kind of failure over to the next community.
It’s not just the mods, I found most of the people there to be pretty shitty as well. I unsubbed pretty quickly after my first post.
Crossposting to here aswell from lemmy.ml:
There is also !guildwars2@kbin.social but sadly kbin is being hugged to death right now and federation is temporarily broken.
Hopefully soon we can find a common home.
Isn’t kbin a whole other platform than Lemmy?
It is, but both are part of “fediverse”, so they share content.
In short:
Both Lemmy and Kbin use a tech called “activityPub” that allows platforms to share communities and content. So it’s not only different lemmys that share content, its also other platforms that implement this tech.
Once Kbin fixes its federation (the implementation of this tech), you’ll see the community here on Lemmy as if it were Lemmy community and can interact with the users same as with other lemmy instance users.
