List more in the comments! I’ll add them if they are a community for a video game genre, and have had at least one post in the last month. Crossposted to [email protected] here.

I also found some genres with dead communities. Maybe someone would like to revive one, or make a new one (preferably on a smaller instance than lemmy.world)?

On my search for communities to put here I found some genres seem to be wholly missing. Let me know if I missed something!

  • MMOs
  • open world/sandbox
  • RPGs that don’t really fit in CRPG or JRPG
  • shooters (think FPS, hero shooters, literally any shooting game that does not fit in the shmup/shoot-em-up genre)
  • simulation in general
  • sports
  • stealth
  • tal@lemmy.todayEnglish

    Community for sharing game music.

    On that note, [email protected] for video game artwork.

    Communities for Talos Principle and Resident Evil, but again, they aren’t active.

    Yeah, there are a bunch of communities for individual video games, but they’re all pretty dead. I think that [email protected], where the dev actually shows up, posts, and moderates is probably one of the most alive.

    This came up when I originally got on the Threadiverse — I remember suggesting that people post in generic gaming communities, then when the load became too high, move to genre-specific, and then when the load became too high, move to game-specific. Otherwise, the userbase in any one community just isn’t large enough to get much community activity.
