As lemmy grows what games are you hoping for webs of?
I don't quite know the term for the subs yet coming from reddit. But in reddit words what videogame subreddits are you excited to be created over time?
Okay great responses! Try creating a larger cluster of them first like valve games or ttrpgs and go out and make them! Go ahead and link them in the responses!
A general TTRPG community would be great I think. A disadvantage of smaller communities can be a Lack of in-depth discussion on a single topic; but conversely a user is far more likely to be exposed to systems they may have otherwise never heard of.
If Lemmy is going to thrive, very specific communities are going to have to take a back seat to more general ones. This can be a good thing :)
Yeah, I'm in for that. I used to be only about Pathfinder 1e. But now I've exposed myself to 1e, starfinder, 2e, blades in the dark, Delta green, lancer, traveler, 40k death watch, and probably a few more I'm forgetting. Branching out to ask these other systems has made me a more flexible gm, and only served to expand the tools in my toolbox
Yes I agree with this. Mixing many subreddits together initially will mean people will see each others' posts. Also it's interesting to see this approach on beehaw compared to the plethora of empty communities that's already on lemmy.ml which allows their creation.
I would really like to see a community for all soulsborne games/fromsoft games. There are so many secrets hidden in these games that are nice to discover in posts and I like to read the posts speculating about the lore behind all the item texts etc.
Might look into making a general Retro Gaming instance! Don't have a clue how to make that yet, but I would love to have a place to share game collections, experiences, and general love for older games and systems
Update: since I'm on the beehaw instance it looks like I can't create communities as far as I'm aware...
These generalist communities are definitely the way to go for the time being. I think that if someone has a retroconsole or emulation setup, then the patientgamers community would appreciate it because we're just, simply, lacking content right now. Like, Beehaw's gaming community, meant for literally everything gaming, is currently the largest and even that has a lack of threads.
If the place grows, then that's when we splinter things off.
Go ahead and create the subs of your dreams ppl! If your instance doesn't allow sub creation (ex beehaw) then make a new acct on midwest.social or lemmy.perthchat.org or whatnot and make the sub there, then mod your beehaw acct.
Main reason I'm asking this is because of the API change reddit is making with people talking about moving. Once the API change releases a lot more people are moving. I also moved because of Reddit being greedy
Being a lemming sounds a lot more fun than being a redditor, not gonna lie :)
I know lemmings-the-rodents don't actually throw themselves off cliffs - that's a myth that came from some old Disney(?) documentary where they got pushed off one, iirc - but come to think of it I don't know much about what they are like.
P.s. also I'm loving that the Jerboa app has buttons for italics and such. It doesn't look like there's a button for spoiler tags though; are those a thing here?
I'd love to see a community for VR gaming and a community for tabletop RPGs.
Even with the recent growth I think there isn't enough population for individual communities for all but the most popular games, so I think these broader communities would probably work better.
