      This is perfect. I think niche communities with a wider scope work best. You didn’t start a dosgaming, atarigaming or c64gaming community. Instead LowSpecGaming includes all low spec systems.

      I did something similar with !dailygames@lemmy.zip a while back by including all daily games instead of just a single one like wordle and it’s now a self sustaining community.

          Don’t thank me. Thank the regular posters who keep the community alive. I rarely post a dailygame myself these days, I just play some. And the community is so nice, that I don’t have to moderate anything apart from the occasional duplicate.

      Not to discourage you, but Lemmy is pretty small compared to reddit. Developing a niche community at this point is pretty tough. It might be more productive to find a gaming community that you like and posting there instead.

      Either way, good luck!
