Based on the “inaccessible” tag, seems like a few of them are down

Edit: also, there seems to be quite similar communities (e.g. the strategy ones), they should maybe consider merging for the time being

i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk on 23 Nov 12:08 collapse

Based on the best of post, at least 12 have been active in the last month: lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/31494874

Inaccessible will be the server down. I can see two of those, both feddit.de.

Blaze@feddit.org on 23 Nov 12:12 collapse

Most of the strategy ones haven’t been active for around a year.

That’s why I usually prefer this kind of threads, Lemmy communities come and go, it’s usually quite difficult to maintain an updated inventory

This is what the main gaming communities should be IMO.Games Journalism is boring clickbait , talking about games is fun.
