OK, so I tooted that I haven't seen any #TTRPG businesses on #Mastodon & asked if anyone knew of any. Two small ones emerged, but no others, for the hashtags #dnd #miniatures #RPG #OGL #DungeonsAndDragons
Am I missing a hashtag that would be important or are there really just two here? How should we best encourage others to join Mastodon? Virtually all RPG businesses are on #Twitter but surely we can entice some to make the transition over to here as well. Thoughts on the best way to do that?
@CheekyKokako I didn't see it mentioned yet, so Pinnacle Entertainment (PEG / Savage Worlds) have an account (& server): https://savageworlds.social/@peginc
(But I couldn't get it working, to follow)
@sgryphon @CheekyKokako Both my internet security software and my ISP are throwing up security warnings about this URL, just so you know.
@anastas2002 @sgryphon Huh, that's weird. I'm new to #Mastodon- does it scan for threats when it brings something from one instance into another?
@CheekyKokako @sgryphon No idea, really. It might be an issue with that specific instance.
@anastas2002 @CheekyKokako it is genuine, set up by a partner (not Pinnacle), because I had a few chats with their admin. They had originally copied an aggressive block list from elsewhere and Qoto (my instance) was on it.
They removed it, but I still can't follow, so not sure what the issue is (could be a version thing; Qoto is a bit behind/customised).
But worth checking why it is being flagged.. maybe the "@" in the URL ... or maybe it is a shared server used by bad actors?
Either way, I don't think following from the Fediverse would be affected. You can paste the URL into the search/follow box (not your browser), or try their account @peginc@savageworlds.social
@sgryphon @anastas2002 I was able to follow them just fine, so I'm not sure what the issue is.
@sgryphon @CheekyKokako I've got it sorted. I also think the "@" symbol is what's throwing up the flag for me.
@sgryphon Excellent, thanks- that is a new one! I managed to follow them as well, so it seems to be working now.
