A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Unfortunately we need to stay in bigger community groups until the level activity grows to a point where a community needs to break into smaller groups for specific games etc.

Alternatively you could make a c/StreetFighter and populate it while you wait for people to slowly come, I've been doing that with several lemmy communities, but I can only maintain so many postings per day. That being said, the rate which each of them have grown already is greater than I could have hoped.

You would also need to factor what instance to build it on, whether it is likely to get defederated and if its going to be one which people may check etc. However, if there is no other community yet, you just need to make sure its a simple enough domain to remember, etc. You really only need to post say twice per day.

Thanks for the input! I am really thinking about making one, maybe in the lgbt lemmy, it's a niche that really works with the new games. Now I only have to learn how to do tgat on here....
