For jrpg genre take a look at

!jrpg

Thanks, I was looking for this one!

!letstalkaboutgames is technically “active” (the discussion post about whether it was abandoned was made 5 days ago…) and I’d really like it to flourish. If you want a place for text posts, OC analysis or just lengthy discussion as opposed to links to news, that’s the spot.

Also again promoting !deadlock for all things about Valve’s new game.

To flourish, it probably needs a mod, at least to setup a weekly discussion thread and give people opportunity to comment

Coelacanth ,
@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

That’s true. I suppose you’d need mod privileges to set up a sticky.

@Blaze@feddit.org avatar

Indeed!

There are so many communities for games (too many…) I’ll try to stick with the most active ones that haven’t been mentioned yet

Blaze OP ,
@Blaze@feddit.org avatar

Yes, gaming is definitely a huge topic on Lemmy

Still, the last four ones ha ha ha, do you think there could be a way to consolidate?

Die4Ever ,
@Die4Ever@programming.dev avatar

Consolidating is hard because I’m a bit of a hoarder so I can’t stand to unsubscribe from any of them lol. I don’t mind the duplicate posts so much. But maybe someone can suggest which of those communities can be skipped in favor of others.

There’s also !ffxiv

Didn’t know about this one, that’s nice, and they have almost as many followers as the LW one! Edited my comment

We have !finalfantasyxiv if you’re wanting a local instance.

@Blaze@feddit.org avatar

That’s the one I wanted to mention above, missed the xiv in the name

No worries. Easy mistake to make.

You can probably add !games (disclosure, I’m a moderator)

Hello!

Question for you: have you ever considered moving your community to another instance, like !games, to spread the communities a bit out of Lemmy.world?

Centralization creates technical issues, at the moment aussie.zone have a week delay with LW as it is too large ( lemmy.world/post/15634599 ). There was another issue in the past, where instances like lemmy.blahaj.zone, lemdro.id, lemmy.nz, reddthat.com were impacted : lemmy.world/post/13967373

I’m only a moderator, that’s not a decision I’d be taking alone.

Problem is that a community as broad as a gaming one is bound to be subscribed my many user on many instances. Switching it to another one will only move the problem elsewhere, not fix it.

Still, if that’s a problem, we could research other courses of actions, like dividing LW in multiple sub-instances for broad topics. The idea would be to get all gaming related community on “games.lemmy.world”, and getting most games related communities to switch there, so external instances can subscribe to that specific instance without receiving all the other updates from other communities. That would also make it a lot easier to scale the servers to the right size for the right use.

But once again that’s not my decision to take.

Is it? I always feel like for every topic the schema is

  • a community on LW
  • a community on another instance that exists mostly to avoid centralization on LW

Examples

That does not automatically mean that the LW community is “too full”, just that some users want to use other instances as well

There was a while ago the example of !mapporn vs !map_enthusiasts

As the sopuli community was more active, the LW admins closed down the LW one to focus all the activity on a single community

The idea would be to get all gaming related community on “games.lemmy.world”, and getting most games related communities to switch there, so external instances can subscribe to that specific instance without receiving all the other updates from other communities.

Seems very close to just hosting communities on other instances? From your message, I feel like people on LW want to keep communities on “LW instances”, I’m wondering why. Is it due to distrust with other instances? Lemm.ee, sh.itjust.works and lemmy.zip have been around as long as LW, have transparent financial reports and high availability times.

simple ,

I’m the most active postee there (hello again). I prefer LW’s gaming community for a few reasons, a lot of which are kind of petty but still.

  1. I dislike the shitjustworks domain name, I think it’ll hamper community growth when a casual user base joins and thinks it’s a dumb name
  2. The people there often mirror /r/games posts, there’s nothing wrong with that and I enjoy browsing it, but I enjoy the more quality over quantity of LW’s community
  3. [email protected] has clean icons and branding which is cool

But mostly it’s just reluctance to move away from the largest gaming community in Lemmy. Content is hard to find, and I talked about this many times, leaving LW communities means splitting the userbase even more and wondering where the content is. People are tired of migrating and just want to post and discuss. If having a large instance causes technical issues, that’s more of Lemmy’s problem IMO.

Blaze OP ,

Hello,

Thank you for commenting!

I agree with you with points 1 and 2.

Content is hard to find, and I talked about this many times, leaving LW communities means splitting the userbase even more and wondering where the content is.

Agreed on discoverability, that’s why we now have those threads, and that !newcommunities is featured at the top of LW’s home page.

On the other hand, sometimes it’s a bit frustrating. !movies is now more active and with more content than the LW version, but some people still keep posting to it, while we offered moderation position to anyone who would like to (looking at you, !moviesandtv ), and Lemm.ee is a well established instance with a neutral domain name.

I moved !casualconversation to !casualconversation , left a pinned post there so that people could find the new community, it’s more active now that it used to be on LW.

Anyway, that’s it for me, again thank you for your comment.

Blaze OP ,
@Blaze@feddit.org avatar

Additional small comment: just had a look at the community, well done for the AMA with the game developer!

To be honest, this community seems nice and we’ll run, my comment was more targeting at LW communities almost “name squatting”, which is definitely not the case here, well done!

Thanks for sharing! There’s also a local instance for !finalfantasyxiv that I’ve recently taken over moderating.
