So I have been using the Fediverse for some time, Started with Mastodon and Lemmy then moved to Kbin for a mix of both as well as features and have finally ended up on Mbin for the Bug Fixes.

A problem that I have come across is that gaming seems to mostly be in one sub such as this one instead of spreading across multiple subs like one for Terraia, Euro Truck Simulator and Hitman.

I find these gaming subs very broad compared to the more centred one-game / franchise subs. Does anyone else feel the same way?

    To expand a bit on the user base issue: Even on Reddit with its giant user base a game needs to have a decently sized audience in order to sustain a healthy and active subreddit.

    Now, hypothetically speaking, even if this place had a tenth of the user base, it would mean that a game would still need to be 10x bigger in comparison in order to maintain an active community.

    For now, only a very, very small handful of games are above that threshold.
