I definitely can acknowledge that there are less niche communites here. But the generic communities, especially for gaming, are very popular and I'm sure they'd welcome your questions there!

You can also create the community on your own, if you really wanted a niche community. Frequent quality posts are the way to grow a new community here.

    Yeah. It doesn’t really work that way. Others have created subs for the games I play. There’s like between 1 and 5 people in them and next to no activity. Reddit pretty much much owns game support forums.

    If even one person comments it stays on active feeds for anyone who browses that way.
    Basically stuff doesn't get buried here, if someones on here and played that game, they don't need to be on the same instance or subbed to see your post

    Also only redditors think they are as important as they claim, they are wrong and don't effect the game most of the time since they are a small vocal part of the playerbase. You just feel like you have more agency than you actually do posting there.

    There’s far more people posting in Reddit game subs than here. It just a fact. If there’s a question, it’ll get answered. Need help- there’s solutions.

    Here, there’s like, one dude in a community that hasn’t seen action in months.

    not how lemmy works, post to any community with no members/activity and it still shows up on all for everyone because of how low the activity is, this is actually a pro since you get more eyes on your post and more possibility of interaction no matter the community, a lot of your stuff just goes into the void on reddit
