Gamer+ News - Special Edition - June 28, 2023

After a few hiccups the new Gamer+ site is leveling out. I appreciate those who have already signed up. If you haven't, here's the link.

https://gamerplus.org/

The new Gamer+ is federated, which is a whole different ballgame for us. The Local timeline shows posts written or boosted by Gamer+ gamers, who have created an account at the link above. The Local timeline is most similar to the old Gamer+.

But then there's a Home timeline where you get all the posts and boosts by people you follow, whether they are Gamer+ gamers or not. The might be from dice.camp or tabletop.social or from any other federated social network.

How do you find people to follow? By reading the Local timeline. If I boost a post from someone I follow then that post will appear in the Local timeline. You can hover over or click on the poster's handle (@hairylarry@gamerplus.org), and click the plus sign to follow them.

Soon, you will be boosting posts to the Local timeline for me to read by people I might want to follow. Get it? It's a social network. Over all federated sites. Not just Gamer+.

So, that's very exciting. I'm finding lots of gamers and creators in the fediverse and the new Gamer+ gives me a gaming focus to learn about and enjoy what they are doing. If you are already on Mastodon, Peertube, or any other federated social network you can follow me, @hairylarry@gamerplus.org. Or join Gamer+ at the link above for a more immersive gaming experience.

So, please stay on topic. No politics or religion. There's plenty of sites that cover that. Gamer+ is about gaming and creating.

Tenkar has this same rule at Tenkar's Tavern where we host Inspired Unreality open game chat in the gamerplus chat rooms. Voice and text chat twice a month on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays at 11:00 AM. So, not this Saturday but Saturday week as they say in Arkansas.

I will send another Gamer+ news about that in July. The opening topic will be Fantasy and Science Fiction.

Sorry about the confusing email from Jazz Thursday. I did it wrong and entered the email first and customized the site names second, just bass ackwards. Maybe this email will be more appropriately branded.

Please forward this email to your gaming friends and share this link.
