A community for sharing your worlds, exploring others' worlds, and discussing anything relating to the art of worldbuilding.

Resources

Related Communities:

Battlemaps

Dungeons & Dragons

TTRPGs

Rules:

  1. Follow Lemmy's Code of Conduct.
  2. Remain on-topic. Worldbuilding contains many areas of interest, so, when in doubt, explain how your contribution fits within worldbuilding.
  3. Give context in the comments of your post. This will help your audience engage with your creation and encourage interaction.
  4. Tag posts as NSFW if they contain images or discussion of extreme violence or explicit sexuality.
  5. Advertising should not disrupt the community. Self-promotion of projects related to worldbuilding are fine. However, you must be willing to engage with your audience.
  6. Love each other. There's a human on the other side of your screen, so treat them with respect.

Yet another collaborative worldbuilding project. Mistakes to avoid? (lemmy.ml)

I'm making a github organization that uses GitConsensus to manage a collaborative markdown worldbuilding wiki. Basically, you'd vote on pull requests using thumbs up and down emojis.

I don't want this to be a thing where I point at an empty text document and say "worldbuild." What's some work I could do beforehand that could get people interested in contributing?

I think that's a valid concern because nobody is going to want to break the ice. If they did, they'd start their own worldbuilding project most likely. You're going to have to be the one to head this and break the ice yourself. This community isn't quite active enough to plop a project like this down and have people clamber for it, not yet.

Edit: I added a question to your pollunit to help get things moving though ๐Ÿ˜„

Thanks for the feedback, it's been genuinely helpful. I'll come up with something to post. I suppose if I make something people don't like, they can always make a pull request to change it.

Sure thing, happy to help! Worldbuilding is a passion of mine so I'd love to see a project like this get some traction and for the worldbuilding community on Lemmy to thrive ๐Ÿ˜„
