How come there’s no big gaming community? (feddit.uk)

Either my searching is wrong, or there’s a weird sub name out there….but I find it perplexing that us nerds haven’t made a big gaming sub yet?

I’ve seen a lemmy world one, a pcgaming on kbin, a beehaw one that’s mostly dead….but no big boi general one?

I’ve blocked 3 fuck cars communities just this evening but I nary see any gaming posts in my ALL - active/hot.

Weird. Someone point me in the right direction please 😅

Not enough people know about that very useful website. Although I think that Lemmy should have this kind of complete search as a native feature without needing to go to a third party website.

Lemmy.zip has a bunch of gaming communities. e.g. !gaming@lemmy.zip

[–] SPOOSER@lemmy.today 5 points 1 year ago

Lemmy.zip is what I figured would become lemmy's gaming instance

idk if you mean lemmy.ml specifically but I have been using !gaming@beehaw.org (is this how you link communities)

[–] TeaEarlGrayHot@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I believe typing !gaming@beehaw.org will redirect to the community without leaving your home instance!

[–] Skyhighatrist 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That is correct, but it's a brand new feature.

If there is one I haven't seen it; I think there's naturally a bit more of a Linux crowd here though, maybe that's why there's less gaming content (yeah yeah "Linux can play games toooooo")

I originally wanted to make a gaming focused instance but ended up making an anime one. I think somebody should consider making a gaming focused one. Generally, I think we need more instances that cater to specific interests as opposed to another general one.

Yeah it’ll get there in time. The activity alone this week has been great, so yea…watch this space 🫡
