Cosmere Discussion

540 readers
1 users here now

A place to discuss stories set in Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere! Non-Cosmere series such as Skyward are also welcome here.

Make sure to tag spoilers. Posts titles should begin with [Book title] to denote what spoilers can be discussed in the thread without tags. i.e [Words of Radiance] or [WoR]

Warning! Spoiler markup currently does not work on the Jerboa or Mlem apps. Spoiler text will be plainly visible when viewing from these apps.

Any comments with spoilers outside the scope of the book mentioned in the title, or books preceding it in a series should be tagged. Lemmy's spoiler formatting for post bodies and comments is:

[Spoiler label here]

[Spoiler text here]

I wasn't able to find an existing community for Cosmere fans on Lemmy yet, so figured I'd get one spun up.

For now I dropped some basic spoiler guidelines in the sidebar, namely to tag posts with the book being discussed, and tag any comments discussing spoilers outside the book stated in the title.

If the community winds up growing we can spin it out to more dedicated communities such as Mistborn, Stormlight, etc. But for now everything can just be lumped together here!

I'm really glad this is here

On a reread of Mistborn era 2 but recently blazed my way through Tress of the Emerald Sea. Can’t wait to talk about cosmere theories and goodies with all you lovely people!

I love you for getting this up and running. I just started reading SP3 and was itching to go to reddit to discuss, but avoided the urge so I searched lemmy to find this community and am super happy to see this here. Thank you so much for taking the initiative to set this up!

Awesome! Super stoked to find that there’s a Cosmere community on Lemmy. Looking forward to seeing it grow. My friend and I actually have a Cosmere Podcast that we just do for fun and I had been enjoying the Cosmere subs on Reddit as we read through the books.

Yay, I found this place!

I think there's an issue with spoiler tags on Jerboa (as in, they don't work). Gonna test it to make sure

Test spoiler text

Is that the correct formatting? If so, it indeed doesn't work on Jerboa :(

It also doesn’t look like it’s working on Mlem the iOS app.

Yeah, seems you're right. Looks like the spoiler tag works in the web browser, but not Jerboa. Definitely a much needed feature.

[–] Foon@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

That's a pity, I don't really want to start talking about spoilers when an unsuspecting Jerboa user might get things spoiled for them.. I hope it gets added/fixed soon in the app!

OH YAY!! I am super pumped there is a Cosmere presence over here. Not sure what is going to happen with Reddit but I have a** need **to discuss SA- I'm 35% through Rhythm of War and I can only imagine I'll need a support group when I finish it.
