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!

Absolutely, but it's tricky with a such a small user base. Most of the indie game subreddits didn't have a lot of activity even there. The bigger ones like valheim didn't even participate in the protest so nobody showed up here to make it, unlike gw2 and warframe that are somewhat active since they promoted this site on their subreddits.

So while I wish we had them, it might be too early, even the consolidated gaming magazines / communities don't have that much activity going on.
