Something I miss from Reddit was that just about all my favorite games had their own subreddits. Like I happen to be a huge fan of Snowrunner but I don’t see any communities specifically about Snowrunner on Lemmy. But Elden Ring has a community on 2 instances with less than 100 subs total. I think the one hosted on Lemmy.world has 8 subs and 1 post. Elden Ring was game of the year in 2022!
I guess I just don’t see enough engagement on these dedicated communities to see the value in making my own Snowrunner community or any other game in general really.
Thoughts?
Love you guys!
Yes, please. The Animal Crossing sub was delightful and wholesome and the WoW sub had great guides. There are different genres that have different vibes and variety is the spice of life.
As Lemmy continues to grow, individual game subs will begin to grow. Right now there are not enough users to sustain these individual communities.
Absolutely. Some exist now, but if you feel passionate about a game you can create a community for it. Someone had to start one on Reddit back in the day, so you can create one here too.
I know I’ve been enjoying !diablo@lemmy.world even if it’s not crowded with content yet.
Eventually we’ll get there, the only Mass Effect community is here and it’s basically just the moderator and I making content lol
Keep in mind that we are only seeing rexxitors that left during the protest at the moment. Once the changeover happens and third party apps go down we will see a bunch of additional traffic and users. Might as well get the community started for when that happens! Post memes and whatnot to the gaming communities and put your community in the body text so people can find it too. Gaming is huge on Lemmy just like reddit, and we will continue growing as the problems on reddit become acute in the following days.
