Discussion on all sub-genres (RTS, Grand Strategy, Economic Strategy etc.) is welcome, but the focus is on “generic” strategy games and hybrid games that don’t fit into the following communities:
- City Builders - !citybuilders@sh.itjust.works
- RTS Games - !rts@reddthat.com
- Turn-based Strategy (4X) - !turnbasedstrategy@piefed.world
- Tycoon / Business Sim Games - !tycoon@lemmy.world
Disclaimer: I mod/curate two of these communities and contribute a lot to the other two (mega nerd, I know).
If you take a look at the above-mentioned communities, you’ll see that they are pretty active (over a long period of time), my goal is to maintain the same level of content for this new strategy games community.
While we do have 2 other strategy games communities on the Threadiverse, it’s mainly me posting (or occasional crossposts of my own initial share).
I’ve done this with a few other LemmyWorld communities I had and could be convinced to do the same here, however, it never works out quite well because you can’t properly redirect the old community to the new one on Lemmy. All you can do is post a sticky and hope people notice it, which means you’ll miss most of the users, or delete the community, which means it just goes poof and so users are unlikely to notice. It’s a problem that could use a better solution since the nature of the fediverse generates a lot of duplicate communities.
@Agent_Karyo@lemmy.world and @Elevator7009@lemmy.zip have been the only posters on !strategy@lemmy.world for at least a month.
With both of them switching to !strategy_games@piefed.world, it’s unlikely that !strategy@lemmy.world will stay active.
In my experience, you don’t, I regularly see people telling me they found the new community thanks to the pinned post. That is usually people looking for an active community, stumbling upon the old one and finding the new one thanks to the pinned post.
