Friends of TabletopMinis:

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.
True but for image posts i dont know how that would work in a noob friendly intuitive way.
If you grab the image url, and re-use it instead of uploading the image again to get a new link, it works.
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.
Using the button will always work, so just do that if nothing else.
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.
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.
Just to add to the other comment, we just call them communities here (or comms sometimes for short).
The minis look great BTW!
You call a group of toothy monsters a community? Actually that checks out.
These look terrifying I love it
Squigs look great my dude 👍👌
These are really cool!
Welcome! Glad to see more exoduses from the corpo socials.
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
Welcome, nice work!
Squigs are fun to paint. Well done
Very very cool, thanks for sharing!
Which one is Princess?
The one in the back having a snack.
Adorable squigs! I loved squigs every since playing Warhammer Age of Reckoning and seeing the squig cake they got for the launch.
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.
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.
"Want some of my Chex Mix?"
[squig just stares, mouth shut]
"Oh, okay nevermind."
In Warhammer meatballs eat you!
I've no idea what these are aside from really well done minis! I love the grime in the gums.
Ah, I see you're an Ork of culture!
I'll have you know I'm a proud grot thank you very much.
Man... I wish I was this good at painting. Great work!
Look it them boys cheesin
Those. Johnny those aren't lemmings. Oh God Johnny what did you bring home!?
Couldn't look at these guys the same way after reading Gloomspite. Fuckers are terrifying. Great job though! For The bad Moon!
Now I want to pet them.
Hey these are well done! Congratulations
Nice! Did you print those yourself?
Nah they're regular GW plastic.
Sir your wig wigs are bald.
One of us, one of us!
Well done!
