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!

    Unfortunately, I think this is where Reddit, and even Discord, still win. Especially if the game’s population is small to begin with.

    For example, with XDefiant, a new arcade first person shooter, which actually just wrapped up a test, the XDefiant Subreddit (r/XDefiant) itself is pretty small to begin with, so no way would an XDefiant community thrive on Lemmy.
