Incremental.social is also down
Most of the strategy ones haven’t been active for around a year.
That’s why I usually prefer this kind of threads, Lemmy communities come and go, it’s usually quite difficult to maintain an updated inventory
Based on the “inaccessible” tag, seems like a few of them are down
Edit: also, there seems to be quite similar communities (e.g. the strategy ones), they should maybe consider merging for the time being
Thanks, copy pasting below. Do you know if all of them are active ?
!soulslike@lemmy.zip for Souls like games
Fighting games: !fgc@lemmy.world
Doesn’t seem that obvious, some people in the comments here point out that they prefer to have a dedicated community for their niche topic rather than posting on a generic community
Reddit is still crap, so hopefully people are still looking for alternatives
You seem overtly negative over the whole platform.
People are trying to keep communities active, as shown on !fedigrow@lemm.ee and !newcommunities@lemmy.world
The point is, Lemmy, Reddit, and other related platform are overwhelmingly American.
Ironic as no large instance is managed by US citizens
For instance, if there’s a niche game I want to talk about, it’s currently a roll of the dice whether or not there’s a Lemmy community for it, and then if it does exist already then it’s pretty much guaranteed to see 2, maybe 3 posts per week, tops.
Why not create a thread on a genre community like !jrpg@lemmy.zip or !fgc@lemmy.world ?
Let me introduce you the Piefed topics: https://piefed.social/topic/gaming That’s an improvement from the reader perspective
Cross-posts themselves are only displayed once on the Web UI as long as they use the same URLs.
Definitely
You can’t just go to lemmy.com, create a name and password, and start doing stuff.
Go to https://lemm.ee/
Have a look around, see if the content and the formatting is appealing to you, register an account if you want to be able to curate your feed further
Go to https://lemm.ee/c/newcommunities@lemmy.world to see communities (equivalent of subs) that might be interesting to you.
Use Voyager as a mobile app: https://www.lemmyapps.com/Voyager. When they ask for your “instance”, use “lemm.ee”
If you want more choices for apps, have a look at https://www.lemmyapps.com/
I think the Lemmy devs political stance and instances such as hexbear are more detrimental to the success of the platform than the entry bar.
Edit: Discuit is a centralized site, and now has 209 weekly active users: https://discuit.net/DiscuitMeta/post/OiU8YjZ_
Joining an existing community is usually easier than starting a new one.
!newcommunities@lemmy.world can be a place to find an existing community?
Thanks!
