Awesome, that's exciting news!
(A good way to link to communities is like this: !Silksong@indie-ver.se - that way I can click and subscribe while staying logged in.)
Thank you! I didn't know frontends supported this.

Welcome!
A good existing indie game community:
!bside@fedia.io
Some genre/theme specific communities that focus mostly on indie games:
- !tycoon@lemmy.world
- !citybuilders@sh.itjust.works
- !strategy_games@piefed.world
- !horror_games@piefed.world
- !space_games@piefed.world
Considering how small the Threadiverse is, it's best to not duplicate comms.
Feel free to reach out in DMs if anything.
Welcome, friends! As a recent convert myself I’m so happy to see more community joining the fediverse
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.
-
I mean... You guys should really start caring about domain names.. That domain name is both hard to type and hard to spell.. Domain names are important people.
Since it is still in its infancy, I would suggest buying a proper name. Might seem harsh, but ya.
Off topic but when I first joined Lemmy I was on booty.world, I still can't believe that instance shut down!
-
This is what I love to see niche instances that specialise in an area rather than trying to be another generalist / reddit. At this stage you’ll prob need to fight discoverability issues. Cheering for ya.
Posting on r/Silksong helps a lot. We've been in contact with many moderators all across Reddit, trying to get them to join us, but that is still developing.
-
Changing the domain of a lemmy instance is quite hard. (Already did it once during testing). And I don't think indie-ver.se is that hard to spell. Anyways, I am not asking the 100+ users who subscribed to change it, but I do see your point.
Ya, I know. But a few months/years, it is going to be even harder.

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
That's awesome news!

And your first link ever is to Reddit...

Yea, that is to the post announcing we created this community. In hindsight, not the best decision.

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.

Oof, on Boost those links aren't parsed correctly.

Love this. One of the things I still go to Reddit for is the Slay the Spire sub

It's good to know when Reddit moderators see the light and help transition their communities over before Reddit interferes. !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com is another example of that.

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 don't think having functional, active, somewhat niche communities is the antithesis of the Fediverse's purpose.
If we had 1M MAU, that would be different.
It's a common complaint for many people looking to switch off reddit that niche communities are lacking and that having multiple low engagement communities without any clear differentiation is confusing.
Multiple comms is a good thing, but you also need to make it easy for users to quickly understand what the difference between two communities is.

Welcome on this side of the web. I hope you'll find it cozy, and full of new encounters.
I'll add your sub to the sidebar asap.
Edit : Done

facts also OP please get other indie game studio people to bring their communities in too. Growing Indie Game studios presence would help grow this place in near and long term for Lemmy/Piefed
