A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

How to revitalize this sub? (lemm.ee)

I love the original patientgamers subreddit so I was stoked to find this community. And because lemmy seems to have a more knowledgeable crowd any topic I posted here had great engagement and discussions, despite the small community. I am too busy to be a mod but maybe I can help by sparking this discussion: what would be needed to keep this sub going?

I could be very much wrong since it depends on what communities one subscribes to but I'm getting a feeling that activity on Lemmy is decreasing in general.

It doesn't look that way.

Lemmy 0.19 changed how monthly active users are counted (including upvotes) and lemmy.world upgraded to that version 3 months ago. I'd be more interested in post and comment counts.

Comments have grown around an average of 0.8 million comments for the last 3 months. Posts experienced a drop from around 6 million to 4 million from January to February but have been slowly increasing since to 4.8 million.

This month looks set to have very large post and comment counts though. Posts are already at 5 million and comments at 13.8 million.

There’s also going to be a seasonal rhythm to these counts. What times of the year are people more active and posting, etc. Lemmy is so young still, it’s hard to just look at the chart and see what’s what.

I'd agree and I think especially the amount of comments per post has reduced.

I am not sure activity has changed much. I'm getting around 8 messages on my instance (that's not actual posts or comments, just inter-instance messages about any form of activity) per second and this has been the case that it ranges between 5-12m/s depending on time of day and day of week. This is not too different to when I started this around a year ago.
