I saw the recent API charge news with Reddit and saw that people were discussing alternatives to Reddit in the event we all have to abandon it.

Joined Lemmy here and noticed one of my favorite subreddits had no Lemmy equivalent — so I created it.

I have no desire to be a mod, so if anyone wants to take on that role just let me know.

I’m just hoping people do post here if they’re checking Lemmy out and seeing what’s available community-wise.

Remember kids. It only works if you stay here.

I’ve always valued the perspectives, reviews, opinions and recommendations of the members of r/patientgamers to help me find new gaming experiences.

Thanks for creating this community.

Over 90% of my Reddit access is through a 3rd party mobile app; the future for this is looking a bit bleak.

I’m testing the waters of Lemmy in the unlikely event that the Reddit admins and the majority of users notice that it’s shooting itself in the foot with these changes to the API access policy.

Patient Gamers was one of my favorites too - I might repost some of my reviews here to add some content

Love the patient gamers subreddit but considering this community is so large already, I think I might make this my new home regardless of what happens to the subreddit. I hope others decide the same, perhaps we can start getting some good recurring posts and organized content to kick start this place.

In the meantime I’m gonna try and put forth some nice conversations in the comments.

Patient Gamers

Create post

A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it’s price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don’t meet the system requirements, or just haven’t had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
