Nintendo Switch install base: 125+ million
Steam Deck: less than 2 million
And yet it’s the same old story. Absolutely nothing about Nintendo or its games in the gaming forums.
This is very disappointing.
Give it some time. A lot of people still need to switch over to here.
Maybe sometime this week there will be more discussion and if not, be the first to start a discussion!
I also think in time there will be more Nintendo discussions but I also think that an average Steam Deck user is much more likely to understand how to use Lemmy vs an average Nintendo user (which probably leans on the younger side comparatively)
True. It’s just something I’ve noticed a lot on Reddit.
give it time for people to switch over.
Gotta give it time for a community to actually estabilish itself in here. We still don’t have the people to come in and post all of the news as they come out yet. But we can begin by making threads and commenting on them.
Be the change you want in the community. User driven social media needs active users to post content, and posting new content often leads to a positive feedback loop (unless you end up with a power user scenario like it often happened on Reddit, but we are not at the critical mass where that’s a big risk).
I mean the top community over this one only has like 360 people subscribed, and it’s not much better. Over a hundred people is enough to create conversation interesting enough to attract people, but from what I see as someone looking for another community, no one’s talking.
