Awesome! Looks like SopuliXYZ has the largest board games community not on LemmyWorld.

Have you considered trying to consolidate the others? There are quite a few:

  • !boardgames@lemmy.world (active)
  • !boardgames@feddit.de (dead)
  • !boardgames@slrpnk.net (active)
  • !boardgames@lemmy.blahaj.zone (inactive)
  • !board_games@lemmy.ca (inactive)
  • !boardgames@lemm.ee (inactive)
  • !boardgames@lemmit.online (empty?)
  • !boardgames@lemmygrad.ml ()
  • !boardgames@kbin.social (dead)
  • !boardgames@fedia.io (empty)

This is not a new community, in fact it is only about a week younger than the one on .world, plus it has the benefit of not being in .world.

Yeah, I think this should become the “main” lemmy community for board games. It would be great if all of the others had pinned posts pointing to this one.

Yeah, it’s ‘new’ only in the sense of ‘we’re trying to revive it’

Out of the loop - what’s wrong with .world?

The specific community?

If you mean in general, mostly just to distribute communities and prevent over-centralisation.

I’m certainly glad this one is more active than world’s.
