I saw the recent API charge news with Reddit and saw that people were discussing alternatives to Reddit in the event we all have to abandon it.
Joined Lemmy here and noticed one of my favorite subreddits had no Lemmy equivalent — so I created it.
I have no desire to be a mod, so if anyone wants to take on that role just let me know.
I’m just hoping people do post here if they’re checking Lemmy out and seeing what’s available community-wise.
A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it’s price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don’t meet the system requirements, or just haven’t had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
Hi, hello and howdy! Glad to have more options!
Welcome!
Patient Gamers was one of my favorites too - I might repost some of my reviews here to add some content
Please do! That would be great!
Welcome! I hope more ex-redditors will join here. Lemmygrad is for mostly far-left.
Like, anarcho-socialist far left, or “making excuses for nominally ‘communist’ dictatorships” tankie far left?
Regardless, beehaw seems cool so far also. I’m feeling hopeful overall!
Marxist-Leninist mostly, that instance is designed for them.
Nice, glad to see this community here.
Nice idea to recreate the good communities that were nice on reddit, the most important thing is to have those subreddit equivalents, and people to participate and trying to makes those communities thriving.
Remember kids. It only works if you stay here.
I’ve always valued the perspectives, reviews, opinions and recommendations of the members of r/patientgamers to help me find new gaming experiences.
Thanks for creating this community.

Over 90% of my Reddit access is through a 3rd party mobile app; the future for this is looking a bit bleak.
I’m testing the waters of Lemmy in the unlikely event that the Reddit admins and the majority of users notice that it’s shooting itself in the foot with these changes to the API access policy.
