Should we make communities for specific games? (lemmy.world)

Something I miss from Reddit was that just about all my favorite games had their own subreddits. Like I happen to be a huge fan of Snowrunner but I don’t see any communities specifically about Snowrunner on Lemmy. But Elden Ring has a community on 2 instances with less than 100 subs total. I think the one hosted on Lemmy.world has 8 subs and 1 post. Elden Ring was game of the year in 2022!

I guess I just don’t see enough engagement on these dedicated communities to see the value in making my own Snowrunner community or any other game in general really.

Thoughts?

Love you guys!

I think so, yes. Made @DeusEx for this reason.

Anyone know if there is a consistent way to link to magazines/communities? !DeusEx@kbin.social seems to be something I see, but doesn't seem to work on kbin.

Edit: Neither does @DeusEx, strange. How about just DeusEx@kbin.social?

Editedit: No automatic link for the latter. Maybe this is something that still needs to be worked on in kbin, and will get attention in due time.
