Are we going to have a community that is focused on gaming discussion and another focused on memes and low-effort posts? Or are they going to be combined?

Yeah, as long as we’re using an upvote system, those need to be split so the articles and discussion posts don’t get drowned out in a sea of easily-consumed and quickly-upvoted low-content posts. I know I would personally really prefer having a proper feedly-style community with a bunch of articles and discussions than another gaming meme one that could basically be a bot linked to an instagram feed.

so, god knows there’s enough games communities across the various larger instances right now but, even so… maybe we should start a /c/gamingdiscussion?

Agreed because I don’t like the OP for being a low effort meme, but also I feel like if there’s a community you’re interested in, just go make it.

Especially as people migrate off of Reddit and Lemmy grows. Anyone coming from Reddit who was interested in games knows there is a demand for a discussion/news based community like r/games

Honestly, a community like /r/games without the power mod approach to what articles can be posted would be really nice.

It’s definitely a valid question though, because Lemmy is going to be just as vulnerable as reddit to the problem of how much quicker low-effort memes accrue upvotes, which naturally results in them drowning out articles and discussion posts. The latter, despite being more interesting and generally “higher-quality”, will always take more time per-user to engage with - so, in systems like this, they naturally fall behind in both pace and volume of upvote.

I just want to take a moment real quick to highlight that you wrote out the phrase “Ronald Reagan ball skins.”

You can’t remaster that which is already perfection

Nah, perfection was Pinball Dreams on the Amiga, way superior to everything on PC/Windows for a decade. Which is probably equivalent to about a 100 years if it was a car.
