So, for my two cents: REDDIT was my go to for very biased but usually non-corporate info. For example, Baldurs Gate 3. In the past, I would research 'BG3 builds reddit' and just check out different builds people tried. It was always much better than going to a crappy corporate owned 'gaming mag' type website, where most of them just copy/pasted info from reddit anyway. It was a pretty good repository for info like that, and reddthat (or lemmy I guess) has not reached that level yet. I tried doing some searching on here for bg3 builds, almost nada.
Yeah, given the Fediverse's much smaller amount of active users and its shorter history, it barely has niche communities nor a wealth of specific knowledge. Anyone who wants the Fediverse to be able to support that role that Reddit currently fulfills of non-corporate information has to know that there's a very large road ahead and it needs active building.
Hope you posted your bg3 build on Lemmy after that....
I don't have one, that's why I'm trying to look for one! But when I find a good combo I will be posting it, yes.
Yep, almost all useful info for BG3 is in reddit and it sucks. I haven't even seen a community for BG3 on Lemmy, but I'm sure it exists somewhere.

I found this one, and checked it out a few times. It's not where it needs to be. Is there a way to maybe sticky or have sub-topics specifically for things such as builds, or quest faq, or things like that? I think maybe some nesting or stickied topics would help. Some type of sub-categorization inside the actual (not sure what we call these, topics?).
Probably something to suggest over there, all of your points make sense
Yeah, good idea. I did. Not sure if it's even possible with the lemmyverse though, as I have yet to come across a well organized 'page' like that yet.
I dn't know how to link, but search baldur on lemmy.world
