I’m not sure if this is the proper place to ask this, but I don’t know where else to go. I’m having trouble reaching the pathfinder.social instance; I can’t seem to post, or subscribe to their communities. Is anyone else having issues?

    Yeah, I haven’t been able to access it for several months now. It still seems to be running, frustratingly enough, which makes it seem like it’s an issue of absentee admins who just haven’t really noticed.

    But maybe my experience with it has been uniquely frustrated.

    It’s a shame. I was really hoping for there to be an active – if quite small – Pathfinder community here. The subreddit is… Not my cup of tea.

      That was one of the things that excited me most about the fediverse was seeing the possibility of things like a pathfinder instance, with a bunch of related communities in one place that can also interact with the rest of the fediverse. I wonder what happened. Too bad we can’t contact the admins.

        My guess, based off of absolutely nothing, is that they expected stronger growth out of the gate, given the rate at which r/Pathfinder2e had been growing, and hoped to see that community choose the Fediverse. But the mods there crated their own forum that drew very little traffic in its own right, a bunch of people shifted to the discord, and then everyone quickly filtered back to the subreddit when it became clear that there mods had no will to actually do anything beyond the symbolic.

        So, they lost interest.

        But that’s naked supposition and conjecture.
