Is there even a Song of Ice and Fire community?
I didn't actually look to be honest! I was just looking at some House of the Dragon stuff and thought I'd search and see if I could find a community. Could always rebrand to be a catch all for any ASOIAF stuff, assuming the name of the community can be changed that is. (Not sure.)
assuming the name of the community can be changed that is
It’s just like with user accounts. The alias can be whatever you want but the address is static. Fortunately I’d say “house of the dragon” counts as a decent catch all for a ASOIAF community.
There’s !asoiaf@lemmy.world but it’s somewhat inactive
That's about to change any day now, as soon as Winds of Winter is released. Any day now.
Awww look he still believes
Well, there’s nothing wrong with having hope lol.
But as someone who just started reading the books, it’s a bit frustrating starting something I may not be able to ever finish.
I'm on my second re-read and whilst I agree it's a bit frustrating, there's still so much good stuff to enjoy along the way that I'd recommend sticking with it if you're enjoying it. You got this!
Oh definitely, I find them very enjoyable to read. Took a short break after the first book, starting A Clash of Kings tomorrow. Thanks for the encouragement!

Formatting
Please include this following format in your post:

This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won't
You should also include either:
or instance.com/c/community
FAQ:
Q: Why do I get a 404?
A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.
Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?
A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.
