Support / questions about Lemmy.

With the migration, a lot of niche communities haven't fully migrated over, if at all. For example, I wrote a few guides for the games Control, Vindictus, and Outriders (usually for like farming tips, bug fixes, etc). They helped a ton of people, but I haven't updated them so I'm not 100% sure if they're still up to date and noted someone could take over

What is the correct move? Should I just be transferring them to google docs, link that in the reddit post after removing its content, and then also redirect the user to the fediverse? I thought the move was to post the guide on Lemmy and link the new guide there, in the old reddit post, with more information about the fediverse

I have evidently assumed wrong because 4/5 of my guides have been deleted from c/gaming. I spent a lot of time re-writing them for Lemmy format, which is now probably lost, and thought that was acceptable; I also looked through the rules first. Like I understand in normal circumstances, for example on reddit, I shouldn't post a guide for Control in r/gaming, but I don't know where else to put them in the fediverse since those game-specific communities don't exist yet

Thanks for any clarification on this. I want them to still be available to help people and then bring them here, so that I can go rewrite all my reddit comments and eventually delete the account

Edit: This might help with advice: The posts in c/gaming that were deleted were one for Outriders, and 3 for Control. They were all written out + the backup in google docs was linked. Perhaps I should have combined the Control guides all in one? The guide that stayed was the one for Vindictus, which was just an description and then link to the guide in google docs since it's so large. The only common denominator was that the one that stayed was the one that wasn't re-written in Lemmy, but they were all potentially not accurate anymore (patched/changes)

If new users (not from the original reddit post) try to find this information, will it be just as easy in c/archive compared to c/gaming?

I know right now, googling isn't as easy as "Lemmy control collectibles guide" vs before "reddit control collectibles guide"

Edit: Looks like I can't post yet in [email protected] yet. In the sidebar, I still see it as a WIP. Hopefully it doesn't take too long before it opens up. I don't want to create my own gameguides community, because I can't commit to moderating it properly
