“As you have no doubt heard by now, Reddit management introduced changes recently that have led to rule and moderation changes across many subreddits. Because of these changes, we no longer feel that Reddit is an appropriate place to post official content or refer our players to.”
I’d love for things like this to provoke companies to host their own Lemmy instances for their games.
If you’re already running an official subreddit, then I can see something selfhosted being an attractive proposition if you can get moderators.
Host different communities based on different parts of the game. For Minecraft this could be split up into Survival, Creative, speedrunning, Skyblock, or similar. Your users already have an account and login from wherever they come from. And on top of that, you don’t have to obey other site’s rules, because you are the site. Seems like a good deal if you can attract the audience
