@asklemmy What is up with people creating Communities and then not even posting a single post in them?
Like wouldn’t you want to be able to grow a community by doing a post here and there, even just a welcome post to say why you created the community would make sense wouldn’t it?
I’m just wondering what kind of content is specific to gay gamers? I would think that the reason there isn’t enough content is because pretty much all of it could just be in another community. If people want to socialize with only that subgroup then that’s fine, but plenty of gay stuff is talked about in regular gaming communities.
I used to subscribe to r/gaymers and there are a few things like thirst posts, LFGs, same-gender fan art, meetups, events, news, etc. Idk, But I guess it used to be more relevant back in the day when certain gay interactions were initially made available like same-gender romance in The Sims and Dragon Age which was a huge deal and gave plenty to talk about. I was also hoping that Lemmy would give it its own flavor.
Yeah, that’s a double-edged sword! It’s awesome that Lemmy is more accepting, and creating the community did feel redundant, but sometimes I just want to be all-out gay which some people find off-putting and it’s also intimidating for me to Perform the Gayness out in the open like that because it’s unhinged nonsense to outsiders that we find hilarious.
