Should we make communities for specific games? (self.games)

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!

It really depends how they're moderated. The Monster Hunter subreddit was mostly some fairly good discussion with the odd high-quality meme slipping through.

I stopped using the Terraria subreddit after they added a "memes on weekends" rule though, as it just bled into the other days and made the subreddit kinda unusable.
