I really feel like the reddit Godot community just sucks ass. (lemmy.world)

There's so much negativity and fighting and shit talking in the comments over there. It's like some people have a personal goal of making others look stupid in comparison to themselves and they just try as hard as possible to rub it in if they know something you don't.

I really feel like the latest Unity migration brought over a bunch of chuds because the three Unity subs were like that before I switched to Godot. That subreddit is literally the only reason I still visit the site at all at this point and I'm just about done with it.

I was hoping more people would end up here, but this place isn't nearly as active. I do plan on posting more when I make some more progress in my own projects, but I personally don't have a whole lot to share right now.

All a community like this needs is one or two passionate people to keep posting content regularly, even if it's just links to articles. Be the change you want to see.

You know I might take that advice and start making a habit to search for and post something everyday or every other day. There's a lot more tutorials coming out that can be posted and discussed.

IMO tutorials are terrible content for a link aggregator like Lemmy or reddit. They are targeted to a specific skill level and a specific "how-to" that may or may not be useful to aritrary users.

I think it's much better to see people's screenshots or videos of their games, and ask how they did something. It's more interesting content and it leads to more engagement on the site because people have to actually discuss it in the comments.

I almost never watch tutorials, and even on Reddit the comments when they are posted are 100 variations on "thanks, great work" instead of actual discussion.

That's a fair assessment and I'll keep that consideration when deciding what to post, thank you

I disagree

They are targeted to a specific skill level and a specific “how-to” that may or may not be useful to aritrary users.

Are these people not on lemmy and reddit?

I watch tutorials, but only if it's specifically for something that I want to do, not just on whim. So I agree. When I need a tutorial, I'll search for it on YouTube. Any that I see here I will just scroll past
