I deleted my app a few days ago and now I exclusively use reddit for r/Godot because sadly there just isn’t an established community for godot elsewhere.
That is not a good reason to keep using reddit. A boycott is a boycott. If a community that you want is not available outside of reddit, why not start it here?
I find that nearly all my Reddit page views are now when I’m trying to Google what I am doing wrong in Godot. I’m trying to build a habit of looking for a Stack Overflow result instead now. That said, I strongly suspect that there is a big overlap between the sort of person who cares enough about Godot to want to connect with a community about it and the sort of person who would want to use Lemmy and other feddyverse services so I think it’s only a matter of time before there is a decent Godot community on Lemmy. There’s at least a few of us so far in this thread!
I also am hoping for more Gamedev groups. r/gamedev is shut down so my only hope is a community growing fast on here. the discords are… ok but not what I’m looking for. And I’m off reddit now so nothing on there will work for me.

It makes sense that you’d be waiting for r/Godot
This is much more clever than I’ll ever be

R/godot is also one of my missing communities en Lemmy.
I hope that, with time, we can move people over here.
I assume as Reddit becomes more and more hostile and Lemmy more and more mature things will be easier.

Discord is a horrible format for a forum replacement, yeah.
I’m honestly really disappointed with how this whole situation dissolved. It’s fracturing communities that have been building for over a decade.
That’s because Discord is an IRC replacement, not a forum replacement (and an annoyingly siloed one, at that)
