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 !communitypromo@lemmy.ca here.
!adventuregames@lemm.ee (also has puzzle and interactive fiction)
!arcaderacing@lemm.ee
!automationgames@lemmy.zip (replaces dead feddit.de community)

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)

Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.
I can’t DNS-resolve sffa.community, either on IPv4 or IPv6. Google’s DNS root can’t see it either:
It clearly existed at one point, because lemmy.world has local copies of some stuff from a year back:
https://lemmy.world/c/sffgaming@sffa.community?dataType=Post&sort=New
But I think that the instance is gone now.
EDIT: The last time archive.org’s Wayback Machine was able to successfully index it was September 16, 2024:

Oh, that’s sad. No point in staying subscribed, then.
