I still go on reddit often since that's where most of the game communities I want to hear from are.
You should start a community for those games. Or contribute to an existing one. Be the change
What, they're not on neoseeker?
I joke, but really why not try going back to bulletin boards again? Neoseeker was made for games and it always had plenty of users. It's at least better than reddit.
Same, Lenny isn't mature enough to have some of the very niche communities yet
I think what there users who mostly post and users that mostly comment (I belong to the later). Lemmy could try to bootstrap some of those communities (note: to not make it to specific) by just reposting the same posts that are posted in Reddit and see if that could increase activity.
Yeah, if I want yoyo stuff, I have to go visit r\throwers.
Pretty much the same if I need mechanic info.
It's not even mature enough to support some mainstream interests, like sports.
Lemmy never will be big enough without a change in thinking from the feudal nature to a more liberal democracy, alas.
Can you expand a bit? What do you mean "feudal nature" and "liberal democracy"? Do you mean society as a whole or Lemmy in general?
Yes I would be pleased to expand thank you for asking.
Lemmy is a mini reddit, moderators own the space, like a feudal lord. To take off, as an alternative to the feudal spaces of big social media, we need to offer a better alternative.
To that effect, a clear set of moderation rules would help, and for that set of rules to end in a jury trial of members.
Ah, I see. Thanks for explaining
I go on Reddit read-only fairly often, but these days it's quite rare that I'll post or comment. And when I do I always take the opportunity to promote the fediverse.
I mostly stick to Lemmy but there are times when I have a question to ask and the larger number of eyes on it does feel better even if it's just a placebo
i had to ask very specific questions, that Reddit has the niche subs for, that lemmy doesnt have recently.
Booo
