A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Yeah, it's been way too quiet here. Where is everyone? I don't want to go back to "that site"
Sometimes you need to be the content you wish to see.
That's why I'm commenting, but we need more people.
Bring your friends. And if you don't have those, post about this sub on other subs.
Tbh, people expected more users to migrate than what ended up happening. The rawness of the Lemmy UX definitely disrupted what could have been a much larger exodus. And many users haven't been able to transition from lurking and doom scrolling to actively contributing as a member of a community.
But the group of users here now, while relatively small, is vastly superior in average quality to the users on reddit. So just keep being knowledgeable and fun and slowly but surely, people will continue to siphon over from reddit. It'll take a while for the trickle of users to turn into a stream, and maybe at some point a waterfall.
I'm quite proud of what we were able to accomplish in r/place over the past week, I know a lot of people here think it's dumb to even participate but as you say, we need more users. You've gotta figure this will help at least a bit.
This turned into a bit of a ramble, but basically I was trying to say all you gotta do is contribute and participate however you can and have faith users will be drawn by our positive energy.
