For me it’s been communities like /r/buildapc, /r/buildapcforme, /r/buildapcsales, /r/gamedeals, and /r/consoledeals have been useful throughout the years.

    How feasible is it to have communities for game genres, and then within those communities maybe some general topic threads for specific games? That’s how I’ve imagined the fediverse space would accommodate further niche subject matter. Not sure if it’s been attempted yet!

      I think it’d result in a genre civil war :D Game genres are vague or not properly defined at all, and furthermore many modern games just combine them anyway.

      I think if it’s a big enough community having an instance for themselves is pretty good. That also lets them split it into memes, modding, lfg, roleplay or other subgroups more easily. I just don’t see how would any of these communities actually fund it, it is hard enough to find good mods that volunteer them time to the community, less alone their money too.
