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!
I wouldn’t bother until the community is bigger. Otherwise you’re splitting and diluting it.
What about creating the groundwork for the community to come to? A migrating redditor will feel much more at home if all his/her favorite communities are already there looking pretty and new yeah?
@cashews_win @bloodtide This one is interesting, what do you mean splitting? I think first thing people that go on reddit will search for something right? Example: you search for anime memes right? Some may know but we have several subreddits dedicated for memes, so you would join the biggest right or you will scour to see if content is engaging enough(here boobs on text memes). So reddit already splits community, nothing new on
lemmy/kbin/etc. Having nothing showup on #Snowrunner is worse IMHO
