I'm quite new to Lemmy, one of the reddit refugees. I used reddit to mostly browse mapmaking, ttrpg's, adventure writing, D&D etc. Would love a little guidance on where I could find a nice community like that here on Lemmy.
The community browsers list a bunch of results for "dungeons", "dnd", and "rpg".
Pathfinder.social is where I joined from, you could check it out!

dungeons@kbin.social which is related to the Mastadon community https://mastodon.social/@dungeons, you might find that fun.
I'm new here. How do I use these addresses (?) to subscribe from my instance?
Do I have to make a new account for each different instance? Because it tells me to log in again... I guess I'm not 100% understanding how this lemmy works, and it feels annoying to have to make an account for so many different pages
You dont need to make multiple accounts no.
The analogy people are using is email. If I have a gmail account and you have a yahoo account, we can still communicate between each other, but I cant use my gmail account to log in on yahoo's website. Lemmy works in a similar way. You make one account on your instance of choice (I see you chose beehaw.org) and then you can subscribe and otherwise interact with things and people on other instances (servers).
Here's how you can do that. Go to your server's search bar, and type in !dnd@lemmy.ml for example. Give it a few seconds and it should pop up as an option to click on it. Once that happens you can subscribe to it from your instance and interact with it normally.
I hope this helps, and if you have any other questions dont hesitate to ask me or anyone else. Most people are quite helpful :)
Is there a better way to crosslink to other communities that would result in links that are clickable from all instances and would lead to the federated version on each instance?
Iirc theyre working on getting something like that set up, but I may be completely wrong and talking out of my rear. As of right now I dont think there is anything like that
All of the communities I've subscribed to this way refuse to work properly. Two out of three say the subscription is pending, which means I can't see any of the other comments or sometimes the posts themselves. The third says it's subscribed but still doesn't show any comments. I've searched and some people say to try again & it should work to solve the pending thing, but I haven't had any luck with that. Is it just a server load issue or have I done something wrong? The communities I've subscribed to through the "all" feed (like this one) appear to be fine.
I think you can ignore the "pending" thing.
I did just learn that if you're the first one on your server to subscribe to a community, you'll only see new posts from that point forward and not old ones
