Hey everyone, friendly neighborhood mod here with a quick question. As this community starts to take shape what are you looking for in it? What kind of things would you like to see posted? What would you not like to see posted?
You must log in or # to comment.
Xbox news, reviews of games, rumors, discussions of games. As for what I don’t want to see…too much wish fulfillment and nostalgia bait? Repeated posts of “remember this” or “I wish they would release a new game for x”. That has its place certainly, but I don’t want this community to be primarily that.
I agree with the nostalgia bait 100%. We’ll take it all account. Thank you for the suggestions!

Put it rather succinctly. I hope this community grows.
Personally I would like to see this become what the xboxseriesx subreddit is right now.
That sub has great moderation and meaningful discussion in most comment sections.
That is where I came from as well. Hopefully we can get to that level. Our user levels are slowly building up, we just need more people to interact and post now.
I don’t interact much with Reddit but plan to do a lot here to help it grow :).
Someone needs to leave that first comment on posts to spark a conversation.
Exactly! And hopefully as more people see interactions they’ll interact more themselves.

What games people like, what games are coming out, including the game pass. Maybe gameplay of unreleased content only.

+1 on this. Xbox news, games and discussions is primarily. Memes, “Show off” posts (new hardware, gamerscore/acheivements), Nostalgia posts could all go to their respective weekly threads. Aggregated review megathread for game launches is also something I wish are carried over from reddit. Tech support could probably go to a wiki unless the problem is entirely new or trending due to latest software/hardware changes. Maybe we should spinoff them off to separate XboxInsiders / XboxTechSupport communities.
I’m with you on that one. 100 pictures of an Xbox box is nothing but a pain.
Well, I do NOT have a Xbox. I am mainly interested in Xbox because it’s one of the main gaming companies, and because they have Bethesda exclusive games. I plan to get one if Starfield doesn’t come over to PS5, so want to have general idea of ecosystem and how things are going.
So, as long as I am concerned, I would love to see news and discussions related to Xbox. There doesn’t need to be every single of piece of news ever, but I would like to see at least most major news.
That’s a great attitude! I’ve been meaning to reach out to you for some cross community love. How are things going in the Nintendo community?
Things are going great. People here at lemmy are pretty cool, so it’s fun to run the community.
It’s also nice to see this community growing and getting active, you are most welcome to reach me anytime you want.
The people on Lemmy are so nice compared to some of the larger forums I’ve been on, I hope it continues that way as it grows.
How long have you and your community been active on Lemmy?
Yeah, that’s what I like about it. People here are much nicer. Let’s hope it stays that way.
As for me, I just started after the reddit fiasco. I had another account on lemmy.ml a long time ago, to test things, but never really used it.
I joined lemmy.world when join-lemmy/instance showed it had 3 users/month. Wanted to join a smaller instance to spread the federation of lemmy, and not put all load on main instance (Heh, the irony!). Joined (you had to apply for joining back then), and created the community as soon as my account was approved.
Funny thing is, the start of the community was pretty much same as the Xbox community. I only made it because search didn’t result any Nintendo community, and by the time I realised about the sync issues and global search, it was already more active than the one on lemmy.ml, so just continued with it.
I wouldn’t mind memes but none of that PS5 v XB bullshit. Discussions on hidden gems on Game Pass, upcoming games, funny moments and screen grabs and videos etc. Maybe when the community has grown having ‘meme Monday’ or certain days for certain content in general.
Flame wars of any type won’t be tolerated. We’re all gamers! I like the idea of certain days for some things though. I’ll definitely keep that in mind.

I don’t have an Xbox, but I am an Xbox Cloud Gaming subscriber and really love it.
Hopefully there will be some posts about CG.
How is cloud gaming where you are located? It’s really hit or miss for me when I’m outside of the house. Even on a 5G network.
It’s great on my iPad inside my house with wifi.
Also good most of the time on LTE/5G when I’m hotspotted, but the graphics quality drops every few minutes. Not unplayable on slower games (Cities Skylines, etc.) but definitely not good enough for all games.
Discussion, not news spam, game reviews, organic engagement with like minded individuals. Significant news is fine, but I don’t want someone to be posting news articles every 30 seconds from the bot they wrote. I want real engagement in the community about the subject matter.
I agree on the not spamming part, we don’t need 5 of the same article. I believe though that as long as the news is Xbox related it in itself can spawn good discussion.

Sexy John Oliver content! Jk, that’s what Reddit’s for, nowadays.
Real user discussion about real xbox news, like other comments here have stated :)
I’ll see if we can get some images of him playing Xbox for you ;) lol.
Hey! I’m the mod over on !ps5@lemmy.ml just wanted to pop over and say hi!
Hello! How are you guys doing over there? Building a great community I hope!
Doing my best! We were affected with a bug that made us not show up in search for a few days but that’s been fixed with the rollout of BE 0.18!
I’ve been keeping in touch with the mod over on Nintendo in a matrix chat. Feel free to reach out anytime. I think we should all work together to make console gaming on Lemmy a vibrant place!
I wholeheartedly agree with that sentiment. I also love your name. Absolutely hilarious!
Just my theory of the universe 😂, glad you like it
