I saw the recent API charge news with Reddit and saw that people were discussing alternatives to Reddit in the event we all have to abandon it.

Joined Lemmy here and noticed one of my favorite subreddits had no Lemmy equivalent — so I created it.

I have no desire to be a mod, so if anyone wants to take on that role just let me know.

I’m just hoping people do post here if they’re checking Lemmy out and seeing what’s available community-wise.

    I’ve always valued the perspectives, reviews, opinions and recommendations of the members of r/patientgamers to help me find new gaming experiences.

    Thanks for creating this community.

    ---------------

    Over 90% of my Reddit access is through a 3rd party mobile app; the future for this is looking a bit bleak.

    I’m testing the waters of Lemmy in the unlikely event that the Reddit admins and the majority of users notice that it’s shooting itself in the foot with these changes to the API access policy.

    Patient Gamers was one of my favorites too - I might repost some of my reviews here to add some content

    It’s nice to see this sub exist outside reddit. Usually I’m patient on playing any new games so I can wait for them to be runnable on Linux if not native (ie, via proton)

      I remember a point where I owned every game that was payable on Linux, this was even a good while after steam launched for Linux. Now that’s just not possible.

    Love the patient gamers subreddit but considering this community is so large already, I think I might make this my new home regardless of what happens to the subreddit. I hope others decide the same, perhaps we can start getting some good recurring posts and organized content to kick start this place.

    In the meantime I’m gonna try and put forth some nice conversations in the comments.

    patientgamers is one of the best gaming subs on reddit, good to see it here as well. Thanks for creating it.

    I’m here, Reddit has been going the wrong direction for a while in my opinion, all the external money usually ruins things. Hopefully this type of thing is a bit more resistant to that.

      Well, I mean since all are different instances that aren’t owned by the same person it’s way harder to buy it up

    Nice idea to recreate the good communities that were nice on reddit, the most important thing is to have those subreddit equivalents, and people to participate and trying to makes those communities thriving.

    Thank you for making this! :) It was one of my favourite places to read discussions about games I’d not got round to playing or waiting to play. :)

    Welcome! I hope more ex-redditors will join here. Lemmygrad is for mostly far-left.

      Like, anarcho-socialist far left, or “making excuses for nominally ‘communist’ dictatorships” tankie far left?

      Regardless, beehaw seems cool so far also. I’m feeling hopeful overall!
