Hey everyone,

We have two major FOSS/Open Source games communities:

!foss_gaming@lemmy.world
!OpenSourceGames@programming.dev

The first comm has a lot more subscribers (and more MAUs).

Seems like a perfect candidate for consolidation.

Let's not consolidate everything to .world, if it keeps happening the fediverse will just have another reddit.

Agreed. @agent_karyo@piefed.world , you seem to be the main poster in the LW community, so subscribers would probably follow you wherever you go

I am good with moving over to the other comm if anything. I will ping cm000 a bit later, I am curious about their take.

I also am actively avoiding contributing to .world comms after the JL situation handling

Though I've always prioritized smaller instance comms before that, after that whole thing happened now I even make comms if there's no off-world off-.ml equivalent

I am not aware of the "JL situation", but I mind don't switching over to !OpenSourceGames@programming.dev. , so that's what I'll do moving forward.

Honestly, I just want vibrant communities on topics of interest to me that are not tied to US-style commercial social platforms.

The Threadiverse is definitely healthier and more resistant to falling into the same kinds of traps when we spread comms across smaller instances
