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!

I'd personally start with content on more-general communities and then bud off as the userbase grows. Like, start with a "gaming" community, then split off to "roguelikes" when the traffic there gets too high, then create "CavesOfQud" when that gets too high, etc.

So Caves of Qud it is.
