GameClub - a casual gaming community not focused on news

New Communities@lemmy.worldEnglish · 10 months ago

Game Club is intended to be a community where anyone can post without feeling like they have to meet an importance threshold. There are many fantastic gaming communities on Lemmy, but the general ones seems to be focused on game release news and not so much generic gamer posts. I want this to be place for people to share anything gaming related they would like, without feeling like they might get removed.

So please submit your favorite youtube videos, your rankings of your favorite franchise, an article from 7 years ago, the map from a game you love, a goofy screenshot or clip, a story about someone you used to game with, your idea for the next big game, a doodle of Master Chief, tips for Ryu, it is all welcome here!

FAQ:

Q: Why do I get a 404?

A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.

Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?

A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn’t get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn’t actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.
