So I have been using the Fediverse for some time, Started with Mastodon and Lemmy then moved to Kbin for a mix of both as well as features and have finally ended up on Mbin for the Bug Fixes.
A problem that I have come across is that gaming seems to mostly be in one sub such as this one instead of spreading across multiple subs like one for Terraia, Euro Truck Simulator and Hitman.
I find these gaming subs very broad compared to the more centred one-game / franchise subs. Does anyone else feel the same way?
What I’ve seen happen is that someone with an interest in a more niche thing here will create a community for it, actively post in it for a couple weeks, and maybe a couple other people will post in it a couple times too, but then the creator loses interest or lacks material to post, and the community sits with old posts months old.
Not to dissuade you from making an attempt at creating those communities, but it’s just a little hard to sustain them without active participation to keep people coming back and growing.
You may even find that there are some active communities for games you’re interest in, but may just have trouble finding them. The best way I’ve found to discover communities is with Lemmyverse, using the communities tab at the top.
