Erotic roleplay is the only reason I still use Twitter, but I’ve been phasing out for BlueSky. (It’s also the main reason I use Discord.) The only reason I haven’t used Mastodon for it is because I haven’t found anyone actually doing it on Mastodon.
Maybe there are some communities out there I’m unaware of or they’re using different hashtags. Have you found any?
I have been considering running something similar to HentaiAndRoleplay here, however minor function that ends up being a major issue is at play in Lemmy; There’s no in-built chat like Reddit, Twitter or (I assume) Mastodon have.
I considered adding an app like Sharex as the default program people would use, considering its quick to setup and discard, but then again that’d still require others to contribute to the community, and frankly from what I’ve seen, Lemmy folks aren’t very chatty.
What is HentaiAndRoleplay?
But even then, I prefer forum/DMs for RP, not necessarily chat. Lemmy DMs aren’t great for it though I’d imagine as it doesn’t show the history of the conversation with someone.
Sorry, I should’ve been more clear. HentaiAndRoleplay, as well as IWantToBeHer/Him, DirtyPenPals, are all ERP subreddits that I used to browse. Some tried to replicate them here, but with the lack of chat and also the lackluster DM function, as well as users generally not being too chatty, they didn’t take off.
Ahhh, I gotcha. I normally just use r/ before subreddits even if I’m off Reddit, especially since most of us are from there. I never did anything on Reddit like that. Only Twitter and Discord.
Yeah it feels a bit strange. Back on R I used to mostly lurk but on Lemmy it’s still small enough that niche interests need someone to start them up.
Feel free to poke me if you do start a community though!
