It’s quite hard to do that as a lot of communities aren’t willing to put in the time of setting up a community on the fediverse. We tried to get a lot of indie game subreddits on board but so far it’s just silksong and balatro. Unless a bigger group of people on reddit ask for it then not much can happen

For sure.

Just pointing out genres with existing, somewhat active communities. There are many genres with a prominent presence of indie games and AA games (platformers, action games, MMOs) that are not really covered outside of general comms like this one.

It might be best to focus on those areas.

The local parlance for subs is comm/comms, from the word community.

I don't think having functional, active, somewhat niche communities is the antithesis of the Fediverse's purpose.

If we had 1M MAU, that would be different.

It's a common complaint for many people looking to switch off reddit that niche communities are lacking and that having multiple low engagement communities without any clear differentiation is confusing.

Multiple comms is a good thing, but you also need to make it easy for users to quickly understand what the difference between two communities is.

Oh, I see now! Didn't load properly for me the first time, shown an empty community. Good job! :)

Ya, I know. But a few months/years, it is going to be even harder.

Just some ideas. If you decide to keep the domain name, I wish you the best. Regardless, welcome to Lemmy brother! The more the merrier.

It's good to know when Reddit moderators see the light and help transition their communities over before Reddit interferes. !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com is another example of that.

Fair point 😅
