I don’t quite know the term for the subs yet coming from reddit. But in reddit words what videogame subreddits are you excited to be created over time?
Okay great responses! Try creating a larger cluster of them first like valve games or ttrpgs and go out and make them! Go ahead and link them in the responses!
A general TTRPG community would be great I think. A disadvantage of smaller communities can be a Lack of in-depth discussion on a single topic; but conversely a user is far more likely to be exposed to systems they may have otherwise never heard of.
If Lemmy is going to thrive, very specific communities are going to have to take a back seat to more general ones. This can be a good thing :)
Yes I agree with this. Mixing many subreddits together initially will mean people will see each others’ posts. Also it’s interesting to see this approach on beehaw compared to the plethora of empty communities that’s already on lemmy.ml which allows their creation.
Maybe the key is to do a Lemmy instance for the general and then sublemmies for the specific. The folks on lemmygrad seem to have figured it out in the sense that they have the whole instance dedicated to Marxism, and then all of the specific flavours like anarchism are sublemmies of that instance
a general TTRPG community instead of visiting dndmemes would be great. Just needs a good name that is easy to find.
Yeah, I’m in for that. I used to be only about Pathfinder 1e. But now I’ve exposed myself to 1e, starfinder, 2e, blades in the dark, Delta green, lancer, traveler, 40k death watch, and probably a few more I’m forgetting. Branching out to ask these other systems has made me a more flexible gm, and only served to expand the tools in my toolbox
