DnDHomebrew is a community dedicated to sharing and giving feedback on homebrew material for DnD 5e (both 2014 and 2024). It doesn’t see regular activity, which is a nice change of pace from the UnearthedArcana subreddit (where low-quality homebrews are posted daily, and that only recently decided to finally ban AI), but it can get a bit monotonous in the long run.
I’ve tried keeping it active over the past few months, but writing quality homebrew takes time, so the are long hiatuses during which the community stays silent. There are other content creators sharing great pieces of homebrew, such as Consort’s playable dragons and magical items. However, I’d love to see more activity from other users as well.

Please join us if you feel like sharing your homebrew rules, classes or whatever, or if you'd like to spice your games with additional options!

I am trying to cultivate a new community: !artp@sh.itjust.works. The name is lovingly stolen from a slogan of the 99% Invisible podcast: always read the plaque.

The community highlights informative signage: monuments, memorials, interpretive signs, and simple plaques. Some posts may be historically significant, others may be interesting novelties or touching memorials to good people who have passed. You never know what interesting thing has been left there, right out in the open for all of us to read.

Use this community to share news, developments, initiatives, pertaining to the MAGA attack on science, including political resistance of individual scientists or collective bodies, as well as pro-science communication strategy, and data rescue initiatives.

I installed whole a lot of custom themes onto my instance recently, but I had to scour through the Internet for them. Is there a community dedicated to custom Lemmy themes, for both user styles (usable via Stylus) and ones we admins can install?

I just happened upon this fellow posting into the Lemmy void about becoming a college athlete at 55 years old. This person is going to train for one full year in the hopes of becoming a college level athlete. They have no experience with rowing competitively.

I have no affiliation to this person it just seems like a neat story and we could all use a good story out of the political media circus that we are all inundated by.

I think it will be interesting and buddy (ok, yes, I am Canadian) seems to be a nice guy who wants to try and do something he's always wanted to accomplish but never had the opportunity until now.

I think that is pretty cool and should be supported. Looks like progress reports will be the thing.

Know something about rowing? Maybe pop by and help out.

Want to just follow the progress of a lone guy on a real mission to better himself? Join up.

Just maybe !newlaneuniversityrowing@sh.itjust.works Is for you.

I was missing the mobile wallpaper community from Reddit, so I thought I’d create one here.

!whatstheword@lemmy.ml for figuring out the word or phrase to describe something.

and

!AIO@lemmy.ml, for when you want to know if you overreacted or were justified.

Hi lemmers! A few people have missed women's communities so I started !WomensStuff@lazysoci.al for all things women. Whether you want fashion advice, friendly chatter with women or discuss serious issues... you're totally welcome.

Women only, and it's an inclusive forum. Any questions just ask 🙂
