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:

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).

Good luck, and thank you for sharing the other communities!

What do you think should happen to ?

Not really sure, I would argue it may make sense to re-direct them to !strategy_games@piefed.world, it was mostly me posting or Elevator crossposting my posts.

I would rather contribute to a piefed community unless a Lemmy community is already established (moves are annoying). For example, some members of !crpg@lemmy.world preferred to stay on LW, so I am not going to rock the boat since it’s relatively active.

Makes senses.

@Elevator7009@lemmy.zip, what do you think?

I have zero dog in this fight and will do whatever the majority wants.

Blaze@lemmy.zip on 27 Aug 21:34 collapse

Makes sense, thank you.

!strategygames@sopuli.xyz last post was 28 days ago, the mod hasn’t been active for 4 months, @Agent_Karyo@lemmy.world should we reach out to @Lazycog@sopuli.xyz to redirect the community to !strategy_games@piefed.world?

For !strategy@lemmy.world , @sparky@lemmy.federate.cc what do you think?

ok so I am a forgetful idiot and made a consolidation post two months ago and did absolutely squat with it, but you might want to check it anyways

To be honest, that sounded familiar ha ha

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.

All you can do is post a sticky and hope people notice it, which means you’ll miss most of the users,

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.

I’ll gladly help, but we consider 4 months still bit fresh - mind trying to contact the mod of that community first?

It’s just that consolidation towards a community that has more history is usually nicer than bumping into “most subscribers but no content” community for new users in my opinion. But yeah that’s my opinion and the reason why I want you to talk to the mod first if possible. But for sure we are trying to reduce the amount of communities that are not being moderated and I’ll help with that. :)

I’m a bit surprised that 4 months is considered fresh, but sure

Hello @Profilename1@sopuli.xyz, Would you consider consolidating your community as explained above?
