Personally I despised the amount of character artist advertising that goes on on Reddit's DnD community. In absence of any way of filtering such things out of my feed on Lemmy, I'll likely just unsub from any community where that sort of thing becomes the norm.
Personally I don't see it as a problem when someone posts some art they did (commissioned or otherwise) that has D&D relevance, and in the body of the post mentions "I am taking commissions, DM me for details" or whatever. However, it becomes a problem when they're posting everything they make, and it's clear the intention is to fish for sales, not to show off some neat, topical art. It's very hard to draw up hard and fast rules for this, and I think everyone would have a different idea of what's 'too much'.
I think the rules laid out in #1 are pretty straight forward, no spamming the comments, no replying to every comment with your link. Just a single link in the body content of your post. I would expect any DM spamming to also be reported as that's just rude.
Frankly I just am not interested in people's character art. To me that is very distantly related to ttrpgs. I join a community like this to discuss what people are actually doing in their games, not to see a bunch of drawings.
Agreed. I never subscribed to /r/dnd because I'm interested in actually playing the game.
to that I would say, this IS the catch all community for DnD. I wish we had post tags of some sort and filters but until then it's all going to be in one feed. I also think that saying something is "distantly related" is very much just your opinion. As I have said before in other threads, to some people the art IS the best part of DnD. To others the details of the roles and the harrowing adventure, and to others the behind the scenes creation of figures, battle maps, etc.. DnD is a very WIDE community and I encourage you to widen your view on it.
Nah, I'll just unsub from this sub. There are quite a few dnd/TTRPG communities on Lemmy. If this one goes the route of being flooded with starving artists I have no problem unsubbing. That's part of the beauty of the fediverse.
That's exactly why we want to have this discussion
