There is !ageofsigmar@lemmy.ca but generally you wanna stick to the bigger places like !warhammer40k@lemmy.world due to the simple fact that the usercounts just aren't that big, and that gets worse the more you subdivide a given fandom.

I do try to cross-post to smaller communities, nothing stops you from posting to every suitable community. That way, the smaller places have a way to grow, even as they semi-hibernate in terms of activity most of the time.

Also, !grimdank@lemmy.world.

Yeah the crosspost feature is important if you want it to show up in multiple communities. That allows clients to filter out the duplicates if the user wants it that way.

You don't technically need to use the actual cross-post button. What matters is that the url being linked is the same.

That's how articles and youtube videos, even when posted separately by different people, get linked up as cross-posts.

Some clients, (like Thunder) allow you to jump between all the different cross-posts so you can see all their comments.

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

True but for image posts i dont know how that would work in a noob friendly intuitive way.

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 month ago

If you grab the image url, and re-use it instead of uploading the image again to get a new link, it works.

[–] aneirin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yeah this is already a little beyond me. I hope someone simplifies the whole system before too long because I'd love to drop reddit for good.

Just ignore what this nerd said (ily MentalEdge). Its like cross posting on reddit. You press the cross post button, select the community you want to crosspost to and hit send. Just read the rules but that is also nothing new.

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Using the button will always work, so just do that if nothing else.

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago

Suggestion: Post to the small community, crosspost to the big. I always check the original post and that's taken me to some niche communities. I'm guessing I'm not the only one who does that.

[–] kerf@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I wish there was a more active AoS community but I guess I haven't really done my part to improve anything either! Gonna have to remember to post more on Lemmy and not just the other places.

[–] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Just to add to the other comment, we just call them communities here (or comms sometimes for short).

The minis look great BTW!

[–] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 month ago

You call a group of toothy monsters a community? Actually that checks out.

[–] Kualdir@feddit.nl 14 points 1 month ago

These look terrifying I love it

[–] SpiceDealer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 month ago

Welcome! Glad to see more exoduses from the corpo socials.

[–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

I see good content, I upvote good content. Simple as.

Lemmy has a version of grimdank you might be interested in., but I don't know which instance it's on.

!grimdank@lemmy.world let's find out if I did that right

[–] Maestro@fedia.io 9 points 1 month ago

These are really cool!

[–] casmael@lemm.ee 9 points 1 month ago

Squigs look great my dude 👍👌

[–] ns1@feddit.uk 8 points 1 month ago

Welcome, nice work!

[–] jagermo@feddit.org 7 points 1 month ago

Squigs are fun to paint. Well done

[–] Sunny@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 month ago

Very very cool, thanks for sharing!

When a squig takes a giant bite with that ginormous mouth, where does it go? The thing's digestive system must extend into another dimension.

[–] aneirin@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

My headcanon is that they don't even have a digestive system at all, which means they can't properly eat anything and they're always hungry which is why they're so angry.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

"Want some of my Chex Mix?"

[squig just stares, mouth shut]

"Oh, okay nevermind."

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

Keeping the mouth closed to digest, like most flesh eating plants?

The one in the back having a snack.

[–] altkey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago

In Warhammer meatballs eat you!

[–] PunkiBas@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Man... I wish I was this good at painting. Great work!

[–] P1k1e@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Look it them boys cheesin

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Adorable squigs! I loved squigs every since playing Warhammer Age of Reckoning and seeing the squig cake they got for the launch.

[–] Sablebadger@dice.camp 6 points 1 month ago
[–] Angelusz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Now I want to pet them.

[–] Lexam@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Those. Johnny those aren't lemmings. Oh God Johnny what did you bring home!?

[–] DerArzt@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I've no idea what these are aside from really well done minis! I love the grime in the gums.

[–] comfy@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Lovely squigs. I suppose it's Warhammer so they probably aren't smiling any time soon.

sublemmys?

Communities, or comms

[–] Semjaza@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 1 month ago

Great squigs.

Love most of them, but one of them makes me feel uncomfortable. I think that's a good thing in rogue bouncy fungoids, or so I must tell myself.

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ah, I see you're an Ork of culture!

[–] aneirin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I'll have you know I'm a proud grot thank you very much.

[–] LlamaByte@lemmings.world 5 points 1 month ago

Couldn't look at these guys the same way after reading Gloomspite. Fuckers are terrifying. Great job though! For The bad Moon!

[–] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

Hey these are well done! Congratulations

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nice! Did you print those yourself?

[–] aneirin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Nah they're regular GW plastic.

[–] Rozlif@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago

Sir your wig wigs are bald.
