Hello there!

It feels weird to be posting about this twice in a row with no other posts between them but I thought it would stay overlooked if I just commented on my last post.

So my last post for those who did not see was me inquiring about r/pumparum (a subreddit dedicated to trading in game items in DS3) and if there was an equivalent here and whatever along those lines because it is current privated on reddit currently for... obvious reasons.

Thanks to Olmai who responded, I have created the community myself and so now I am just looking to spread the word about it because how can you trade without anyone to trade with lol.

I have a full description about what !pumparum is over there as well as 2 personal posts, one about my giveaways on the PC version of DS3 and the other is me looking for mods/help because I am pretty much 99% new to this site and modding on it and also because I am almost 100% unavailable on weekends to moderate it myself if it does pick up at all and need moderation. The minimum moderation I'm looking for right now is just making sure the posts are related to the game/trading in it at the very least.

Olmai also suggested I "suggest a link" on some site which helps with alternative instances of subreddits on other sites but one of the requirements is the have 2 or 3 posts that are not made by the mods or for it to be an official alternative, which it currently is not, so I cannot do that just yet but will as soon as possible.

I have also posted on r/darksouls3 about this new community I made as well as lightly mentioning this one too simply saying I posted here and will post this current post soon too.

If anyone has any other suggestions on how to get more people in or anything like that, let me know. And if you wanna join, you're welcome! Either way I hope you have a great day!

Hey! I just got here so this is my first Lemmy post! (TL;DR at the bottom)

I wasn't really planning on leaving reddit because I got used to it. But after checking out lemmy which I heard mentioned here and there I managed to understand the layout a little better and annoying the apps for it weren't working for me so browser will do.

Anyways, if reddit stays the path it's on and doesn't fix its mistakes and whatever, r/pumparum might not return and I couldn't find an equivalent here. For those that don't know, r/pumparum was a subreddit where you could ask for trades with other players for different items and then give something in return. It was mainly for DS3 but I think I saw a couple for other games too, there's also r/PatchesEmporium for Elden Ring that does the same. Obviously the trades work better on DS3 and Elden Ring because of passwords but it could work for other games too if you can get the SL right.

I hardly bothered needing much and just did free giveaways but it was good fun to do the giveaways and stuff and want to do more, but with r/pumparum out of the picture, do you lot know where I could go instead on here? Or is this community good for mentioning/requesting trades? Or is anyone willing to make a community for this? Because I thought about it and figured I'm new to Lemmy and wouldn't have the time or knowhow of moderating a community here. (Also I'm on PC DS3 if anyone wants anything at all ;), not available on Saturdays and Sundays, timezone BST)

TL;DR: is there a DS3 trading community on Lemmy or is here good? Or is someone willing to make and moderate a trading community? Also I do free PC DS3 in game trading giveaways if anyone wants anything, just let me know, not available on Saturdays and Sundays, timezone BST.

Or is this community cool with tasteful trashposting?

Sincerely,

I remember being so intimidated by the game before playing it for the first time and struggling a lot with the beginning sections of the game. I remember fighting the first black knight in undead burg and thinking I would never beat it. After giving up a few times, I finally managed to kill him by blocking and then circling around. I've grown much more as a player since then, but that was definitely the moment where I knew I could overcome the challenges thrown at me. What about you guys?

I'm not ashamed to say I've spent a bit of money on the pc version. When it arrived it was completely sealed, never opened. I still haven't opened the postcards. I don't regret that purchase in the slightest, though, because I love just having it there. It's beautiful.

I recently heard it was a brutal experience and have been thinking of trying it as a challenge.

Im on my first ever ng+ of dark souls and any game in general. Im saving solaire this time around. What did yall do different second time around that you liked or hated?

I tried it. Got pissed. Uninstall. Tried again and got further. Got pissed. Unistalled. Im going to keep coming back and trying though

I don't know if it would make sense for them to ever make Dark Souls 4 since Elden Ring is the more popular franchise and they're probably going to stick with open world going forward. But I think it would be pretty sweet if they made a remake of Dark Souls with an open world or something.

My biggest frustration was my first time in sens fortress. The mage snakes just got me everytime

I wanted to recreate r/darksouls. Any fromsoft is welcome just dont be a dick and lets have fun and not go hollow
