Community Promo

List more in the comments! I'll add them if they are a community for a video game genre, and have had at least one post in the last month. Crossposted to !games@lemmy.world here.

• !adventuregames@lemm.ee (also has puzzle and interactive fiction)
• !arcaderacing@lemm.ee

I also found some genres with dead communities. Maybe someone would like to revive one, or make a new one (preferably on a smaller instance than lemmy.world)?

• !horrorgaming@lemmy.world
• !platformer_games@sh.itjust.works
• !puzzlegames@lemm.ee (yes, !adventuregames has some, whether puzzles actually belong with adventure games is another conversation. I don't think so but I'm not an expert on either genre)
• !realtimestrategy@lemmy.world and !rts@reddthat.com
• !survivalgames@lemm.ee

On my search for communities to put here I found some genres seem to be wholly missing. Let me know if I missed something!

• MMOs
• open world/sandbox
• RPGs that don't really fit in CRPG or JRPG
• shooters (think FPS, hero shooters, literally any shooting game that does not fit in the shmup/shoot-em-up genre)
• simulation in general
• sports
• stealth
