I love the original patientgamers subreddit so I was stoked to find this community. And because lemmy seems to have a more knowledgeable crowd any topic I posted here had great engagement and discussions, despite the small community. I am too busy to be a mod but maybe I can help by sparking this discussion: what would be needed to keep this sub going?
I think the two main points would be already mentioned regular “what are you playing” posts and just writing yourelf whenever you have a chance. I think that livier communities encourage engagement while “dead” ones make people less willing to participate as that means they’ll more likely to become the center of attention and not everyone is comfortable with that.
Personally, I’ve been meaning to write some posts about the stuff I played recently but just didn’t have time to do so. Maybe this week…
