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 agreed, but I like to think the engagement is more tailored to the content, more inside jokes, more interesting discussion, less crap and shitposting and overall just quality over quantity

      Exactly. I suppose within a larger sub each post could be about a single game, or something shared across multiple games, so you could re-create that feeling within a larger community. But unless you play or at least want to know about a ton of games then, the larger the magazine the more irrelevant posts there would be (maybe set up a filter?).

      Or, just enjoy discussions at a slower pace - we don’t need to fill the void every moment of every day. Okay uh…we don’t need to try to fill the void every moment of every day with that particular magazine:-).
