List more in the comments! I’ll add them if they are a community for a video game genre, and have had at least one post in the last month. Crossposted to [email protected] here.

I also found some genres with dead communities. Maybe someone would like to revive one, or make a new one (preferably on a smaller instance than lemmy.world)?

On my search for communities to put here I found some genres seem to be wholly missing. Let me know if I missed something!

  • MMOs
  • open world/sandbox
  • RPGs that don’t really fit in CRPG or JRPG
  • shooters (think FPS, hero shooters, literally any shooting game that does not fit in the shmup/shoot-em-up genre)
  • simulation in general
  • sports
  • stealth

    I agree. In the days immediately following the APIcalypse, people attempted to move all their favourite niche communities to Lemmy, but the site’s active userbase isn’t there yet for that kind of content - much to my displeasure: I was only active in two/three niche communities back when I was a Reddit user, but they are pretty much nonexistent here, so I’m forced to include more generic communities in my Lemmy feed to keep it from drying up.
