Well, just my own emulation subreddit. But even on reddit it's a slow moving forum. The wish is other ppl post stuff besides just me is* all lol.

But I don't mind on my own for now, people upvote so I know they're seeing it.

Mainly I made the new community so I stop visiting reddit for theirs. I was quite addicted to reddit, quitting was tough. Don't wanna relapse.

Edit: https://sh.itjust.works/c/emulation

The only bummer is we don't have emulator devs posting here :p

+1 for the local communities and the ADHD and AuDHD communities.

shitty ask reddit. In this case it's called shitty ask hilarious chaos. We need more quality text shitposting participants.

Support groups are something I want to see grow on Lemmy. Anything from abuse, to mental health to chronic illness or addictions. There should also be a way to protect those communities from ableist trolls, a theoretical door so that not just anyone can see the feed. I think it's important to have that door, because there are people who no matter what you say, they will never have empathy or understanding for people going through those challenges. They will always find a way to convince themselves the person isn't worthy of empathy or respect. They will try to do harm, and so they should just be blocked out. I've sadly already encountered a bit of that on Lemmy.

But I will be honest, I don't have a plan of action laid out, I'm just throwing it out there. We saw some major platforms become null and unsafe. We should work to reestablish a safe space for folks dealing with those problems. It's even more important now while we're going through this breath-takingly crappy year. I myself do not have the skills or energy to moderate one of these groups. It would just be good to work toward having more of those here eventually.

Edit: It would also be cool if we could be more thorough about keeping out troll communities, prevent or discourage them from taking root here. For example fakedisordercringe on Reddit was a vile place. The redpill communities were bad too.

I'm active on one but not the others, and I have a semblance of a plan.

!gamedev@lemmy.world - I took it over several months ago and have tried to regularly share news that is relevant to developers and hobbyists. I think I've done an okay job, but it's still pretty low in search results when you search "gamedev Lemmy". While posts get a few upvotes, and some comments, almost no one else posts there.

The thing is, I like the Reddit r/gamedev community just fine and still visit it. I just don't trust Reddit as a company. So this is my way of trying to facilitate a healthy option, and follow the adage of "the grass is greener where you water it".

So if you're into video game development and the industry around it, feel free to join!
