I understand there is an LFG community, but it is dead. If this is not allowed feel free to remove it

My partner finally found a decent group to play DnD online with, but it turns out not all of them are that decent. There is an individual with right leaning views that they are not comfortable playing with. They are absolutely devastated, as they have been wanting to play for years

I'm not asking for a game, or group, but hopefully a community of like-minded individuals for them to be a part of. I don't know the first thing about it, so I come here in desperation to try to cheer my partner up

Edit:

They will be turning 30 this year. They are non-binary, and looking for a safe space from any right-wing politics. They use they/them pronouns and needs somewhere that this will be respected

They have a character and back story if that helps

I recommend going to Disboard and then searching for dnd, dnd5e, or avrae, or else finding an invite to the Avrae discord server and looking through the latest posts in its looking-for-community channel (Avrae is a discord bot that helps automate D&D 5e gameplay, so I find it to be a convenient search term--but if ypur partner prefers other systems, Disboard probably has searchable tags for them too). Then just make sure the description also includes LGBTQ+ and you're probably golden (at least in terms of finding a community that is not vitriolic to your partner).

These communities are often "Westmarches" style, where players group up for short events, so the specific group of people playing at any given time rotates. Some servers are primarily focused on being a place to find groups for synchronous play (e.g. over voice chat for a few hours), while others focus on slow asynchronous play-by-post that has participation from each player once or twice per day. Some servers combine the two styles.

Good luck!

This seems to be the way to go. They already found a server, and I think are putting out an application to join a game. I really can't thank you enough for your help

Passing this along to my partner, thank you so much!
