I've played some games for which I want to make comms, but I'd rather make them on a gaming-related instance like Lemmy.zip rather than my registered one. Is this possible or would I need to make and manage a second account on the target instance?

Or could someone there just make /c/FTL and /c/SliceandDice? Lol.

What type of games are those? [email protected] is for all the Souls like, [email protected] is for... well JRPG.

You can maybe post a general thread on [email protected] and see if other people would like to create communities for those games.

[email protected] also has a few pointers about community creation

They're "roguelite" games. Games that feature permanent death, and are designed to be played from the start over and over while you learn more about the game, and often unlock new things each run (metaprogression) that can make each future run a little easier, or at least different.

Examples:

  • Binding of Isaac
  • Dead Cells
  • Enter the Gungeon

The "roguelite" name comes from "roguelike" which itself is used to describe games being similar to "Rogue", a very old ASCII dungeon crawler that pioneered this sort of gameplay. Roguelikes are modern, turn-based dungeon crawlers that feature the same mechanics.

Examples:

  • Caves of Qud
  • Shattered Pixel Dungeon

I see!

So, good news, there is [email protected] which has slow but steady activity.

I guess [email protected] also fits that definition. You can maybe post there to see if people would be interested in a Faster than light or Roguelites community. [email protected] can be a good place to ask too.

What you really want to avoid is create a community and then having no one coming there, which will probably make you drop the idea after a few weeks.

You should change instances of "you" to "OP" in your comment since I'm not them. I was just answering your question. ๐Ÿ˜„

Oh sorry I got confused, I thought you were OP ๐Ÿ˜„
