Why? Are we not doing enough?

So do the new posts and everything. But Reddit is a shithole and Omegle got sued to death, online gaming is either a full time job or a money sink, streaming services start to cancel out each other and most of the regular games and their performance suck ass.
Guess I’ll just be productive then.
- Guess I’ll just be productive then.
  Never!
  
  I will be posting 1 upvote (mine) and 0 comment posts until I die instead of choosing to be productive.
- Eyyy, wellcome to enshitification!
- Indie games are the only thing keeping gaming alive for me, for the most part. All the AAA games I play are older titles. Doing the GTAV story with a trainer has been a pretty fun time lately for me.
- I hate to admit this, but I’ve started using Reddit again. It pains me, but there is stuff I just can’t get here.
  
  I used from time to time but I just can't forget how shitty they were with the mods and the users overall.
  
  Same here. I like the idea of Lemmy but the decentralization makes it really difficult to find the content I want. Reddits centralization, while causing some problems, definitely made it easy to find communities. That lack of ease is what makes Lemmy not as easy to use for new people.
  
  there should be a "find the community" or something, where u can post ur niche and ppl will link where they discuss that
  
  There’s also the problem where I totally want to start a community (for example: Marble Racing), but I don’t know where a good home would be for it and I don’t think my home instance would be a good home.
  
  does it really matter that much? If people search it up, it will pop up. Even better if they discover it via a link.
  
  I think it does a bit. The obvious one would be for porn on general purpose instances. Alternatively, my primary instance for example is a bit of a niche one related to reading, so a sports or politics community could feel disjointed especially for the admins/mods who manage the community.
  
  I hear ya, but I can't help ya. Sorry. Good luck tho!
  
  No worries, I wasn’t really expecting help. I appreciate your try though.
  
  Have you checked out !lemmy411@lemmy.ca? For some reason I don't see it mentioned or linked to much, but it's basically that, which I think would feel much more approachable to new people than pointing them to tools like Lemmyverse (as much as I do really appreciate it).
  Another good one for sharing communities you've stumbled across would be !wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca.
  
  Saved both communites, but don't tell me this. Tell it to: @JaymesRS@literature.cafe
  
  Thanks.
  
  Same here. I lurk more on Lemmy but if I want to discuss some niche topic then Reddit is so easy to I don’t use that fucking app though, website or 3rd party.
  
  Same, but I only use it for TV show discussions. I haven't been on the main page since June.
- Posting is half of the fun. Especially contents who bring others to comment and share opinion and new info.
- I've gone back to playing old games. It helps
- Try Deep Rock Galactic! It is neither a full time job or a money sink. Any purchases are purely cosmetic, seasons are entirely free and there are regular updates.
