Comment on Is it really worth starting a lemmy community?

So I decided to make a community out of boredom and because I felt like I wanted to thanks to what you all said. im not sure where to link it at so ill start here? im not sure if ill like it the right way or not?
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.
So you’re the mastermind behind dailygames. I salure your effort good sir
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!
