For the past couple of weeks, some of us moderators of the subreddit r/Silksong, have been working on an exciting project. We’ve created a lemmy instance for fans of indie games. We officially run and support this instance and the Silksong community on it. Please check it out at !Silksong@indie-ver.se
I invite you, current users of the Fedi-verse, to join us at @indie-ver.se, subscribe and interact with the communities there, as they grow. So we can support both a more free internet, and indie game communities. See you soon!
to the moderators, hope this post does not break advertising rules. feel free to remove it, if it does
Welcome!
A good existing indie game community:
!bside@fedia.io
Some genre/theme specific communities that focus mostly on indie games:
Considering how small the Threadiverse is, it’s best to not duplicate comms.
Feel free to reach out in DMs if anything.
At first I nodded my head to this since it adds user volume in one place, but this is the Fediverse, where no one set of mods or communities gets to “own” anything.
People can subscribe to both, so to me, the “best to not duplicate” is the antithesis of the Fediverse’s purpose.
I get what you mean, the goal was actually to do the opposite. Try to get all indie game related subs together, but in this regard everything is a trade of.
For sure.
Just pointing out genres with existing, somewhat active communities. There are many genres with a prominent presence of indie games and AA games (platformers, action games, MMOs) that are not really covered outside of general comms like this one.
It might be best to focus on those areas.
The local parlance for subs is comm/comms, from the word community.
