Discussion on all sub-genres (RTS, Grand Strategy, Economic Strategy etc.) is welcome, but the focus is on “generic” strategy games and hybrid games that don’t fit into the following communities:
- City Builders - [email protected]
- RTS Games - [email protected]
- Turn-based Strategy (4X) - [email protected]
- Tycoon / Business Sim Games - [email protected]
Disclaimer: I mod/curate two of these communities and contribute a lot to the other two (mega nerd, I know).
If you take a look at the above-mentioned communities, you’ll see that they are pretty active (over a long period of time), my goal is to maintain the same level of content for this new strategy games community.
While we do have 2 other strategy games communities on the Threadiverse, it’s mainly me posting (or occasional crossposts of my own initial share).
Not really sure, I would argue it may make sense to re-direct them to [email protected], it was mostly me posting or Elevator crossposting my posts.
I would rather contribute to a piefed community unless a Lemmy community is already established (moves are annoying). For example, some members of [email protected] preferred to stay on LW, so I am not going to rock the boat since it’s relatively active.
Makes senses.
@[email protected], what do you think?
I have zero dog in this fight and will do whatever the majority wants.
Makes sense, thank you.
[email protected] last post was 28 days ago, the mod hasn’t been active for 4 months, @[email protected] should we reach out to @[email protected] to redirect the community to [email protected]?
For [email protected] , @[email protected] what do you think?
I’ve done this with a few other LemmyWorld communities I had and could be convinced to do the same here, however, it never works out quite well because you can’t properly redirect the old community to the new one on Lemmy. All you can do is post a sticky and hope people notice it, which means you’ll miss most of the users, or delete the community, which means it just goes poof and so users are unlikely to notice. It’s a problem that could use a better solution since the nature of the fediverse generates a lot of duplicate communities.
@[email protected] and @[email protected] have been the only posters on [email protected] for at least a month.
With both of them switching to [email protected], it’s unlikely that [email protected] will stay active.
In my experience, you don’t, I regularly see people telling me they found the new community thanks to the pinned post. That is usually people looking for an active community, stumbling upon the old one and finding the new one thanks to the pinned post.
ok so I am a forgetful idiot and made a consolidation post two months ago and did absolutely squat with it, but you might want to check it anyways

To be honest, that sounded familiar ha ha
I’ll gladly help, but we consider 4 months still bit fresh - mind trying to contact the mod of that community first?
It’s just that consolidation towards a community that has more history is usually nicer than bumping into “most subscribers but no content” community for new users in my opinion. But yeah that’s my opinion and the reason why I want you to talk to the mod first if possible. But for sure we are trying to reduce the amount of communities that are not being moderated and I’ll help with that. :)
I’m a bit surprised that 4 months is considered fresh, but sure
Hello @[email protected], Would you consider consolidating your community as explained above?
I don’t have a strong opinion on it either way. My preference would be to let the communities exist and develop naturally.
Based on past experience, with the current userbase communities don’t develop naturally without an active poster, such as @[email protected] on [email protected]
Without such poster, the communities are just ghost towns, such as [email protected]
