I've been tooling around with ideas for an "Obscure Games Club" community. Before making it I'd love to gauge interest, maybe get 1 or 2 people to commit to a certain level of involvement, and get feedback on the setup. But I don't actuallly know a good space to do that.

Most communities on the fedi are monuments to one passionate person talking to a brick wall, with the last post being sometime between 1 and 3 years ago. Perhaps less would peter out if the starting seed was more than one individual.

I can see problems with this idea. But I also see a lot of problems with the current way of doing things. It might be worth a shot.

Escaping the opening question and commenting on the contextualization, something I'd recommend for whatever community you'd make is to not burn all you have to post too quickly. Like making a fire for a barbecue where you have to gradually heat the coal up so you can get a consistent fire, a slower posting rate, but not too slow, should gradually make more people notice it, and when the stars align, someone else will start posting too.
