A gaming sub 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.

I saw the recent API charge news with Reddit and saw that people were discussing alternatives to Reddit in the event we all have to abandon it.

Joined Lemmy here and noticed one of my favorite subreddits had no Lemmy equivalent — so I created it.

I have no desire to be a mod, so if anyone wants to take on that role just let me know.

I’m just hoping people do post here if they’re checking Lemmy out and seeing what’s available community-wise.

I confirm, it's the only one. But since we can comment on posts from other instance, for now I think it's great having only one, since it's still very niche

Honestly, unless there's a pressing need for different moderation policies and moderation teams, I don't really see a need to reinvent the wheel and duplicate most communities across multiple servers. I think we'll likely see user bases start gathering into the biggest communities for their particular interest and be pretty satisfied with it as long as the communities are being managed appropriately. Since it's easy to create a community, I know people will do what they please, though, and there will ultimately be hundreds of "duplicate" 1 person communities scattered across all the servers lol

Yeah the Lemmy admins said that they want people to make new instances and such, but if Lemmy were to take off I think what we'll see is reddit communities replicated on the main instance or a currently popular alt instance like beehaw. I'm personally waiting a little bit for my favorite subs to pop up here with alternatives because I don't have the time to mod, but I fully expect them to show up on the main instance if they show up on Lemmy at all.
