From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it's gaming you can probably discuss it here!

You could check out lemmy.world/c/dragonage? Obviously it's a bit dead at the moment, but this is the thing: all of these little communities need to be restarted from scratch, and to do that you need to contribute your own content until enough people show up that the feed starts rolling on its own. Lemmy.world is currently the biggest instance, and that community has 102 subs already. Seems like a great place to start if you want to recreate r/dragonage on lemmy.
For some reason I did not find this community before. I will try to contribute there. Thank you!
Since we're dealing with very small niches still, I also recommend participating in genre communities. I'm not really seeing an active one for RPGs but something like Dragon Age would get some run on [email protected] and [email protected] (with the usual caveat that kbin currently isn't always great about getting all their content out to federated instances).
Grow the genre/archetype communities enough and eventually they will naturally break out into individual property niches for sure.
Fair point, although [email protected] seems to go fairly well, but the fact that it's a recent game is probably helping.
If you're interested in Mass Effect, please also visit [email protected]. It's also a bit dead, but we're trying!
Edit: There's also the much bigger [email protected], which I somehow missed.
Will do!
