Quick question: Should Daggerheart be considered a variant or adjacent and in the general forum? It's significantly more divergent than 13th Age (I'd say it's 1/3 D&D, 1/4 PbtA, and lots of other stuff) but is class/level based and designed to be accessible from a D&D base/to 5e players. (Given sales numbers it may get its own forum but isn't there yet)

(Also I'm having problems accessing threads in the general forum right now)

It’s not even vaguely a D&D variant. General TTRPG!
 

Where would you discuss topics equally applicable to a variety of 5e-based games, including WotC's? And does this reserve the D&D thread exclusively to discussion of 5.5? It looks like you want to pull discussion of certain games out of the general D&D thread, so I wanted to know where we should talk about what.
 

Since the reshuffle I’m getting error messages for every thread I’ve tried outside the D&D forums. Including the meta threads…which is why I’m posting this here.

Depends on if you count D&D 4e as D&D. I would absolutely describe it as a 4e variant but, come to think of it, the direct overlap to D&D is almost entirely to things that were exclusively 4e, played in the "narrative style" of @pemerton, @EzekielRaiden, and others including myself.

Which does put it outside the normal range of D&D variants.

I was fearing someone had blocked me because I couldn't open any of their threads, then I noticed I couldn't even open them on a private tab. And well, I also noticed this. So I feel better now, but yeah it is still a bother not being able to open many threads.

I thought it used d6s? I don't think any D&D variant can renounce the D20 and still be a D&D variant?

2D12. And one of the smart things they've done there is set the modifiers so an experienced 5e DM can use the same difficulty numbers they'd use for 5e and get the expected results.
