Are we going to have a community that is focused on gaming discussion and another focused on memes and low-effort posts? Or are they going to be combined?
Agreed because I don’t like the OP for being a low effort meme, but also I feel like if there’s a community you’re interested in, just go make it.
Especially as people migrate off of Reddit and Lemmy grows. Anyone coming from Reddit who was interested in games knows there is a demand for a discussion/news based community like r/games
Honestly, a community like /r/games without the power mod approach to what articles can be posted would be really nice.
It’s definitely a valid question though, because Lemmy is going to be just as vulnerable as reddit to the problem of how much quicker low-effort memes accrue upvotes, which naturally results in them drowning out articles and discussion posts. The latter, despite being more interesting and generally “higher-quality”, will always take more time per-user to engage with - so, in systems like this, they naturally fall behind in both pace and volume of upvote.
