This is my first time playing poe/poe2 and I’m only in act 1 still (I think just made it to the manor base area). So far I’m having a great time with the game and can see how it’s addictive for so many people.
I’m pretty sure it was mainly to get rid of the exec that was leading the supercharger team because from what I remember she was doing a really good job and didn’t listen to him when he told her to lay people off or something. She was the reason NACS became a standard in the US. Really bad call on his end but hey gotta keep the ego big somehow.
One suggestion I saw a while ago was to use more general communities for things you're interested in and as it grows then the more niche communities can be made.
Ex: post about a specific game you like in gaming up until enough people like it to make a sub for that game. Or post about a song you don't know in asklemmy until enough people do that to make whatsthissong
I totally get wanting the niche communities and, personally, I just lurk reddit completely not voting, posting, or commenting unless as a last resort if I really need to find info that Lemmy isn't able to provide.
It's a slow process and I don't think there'll be another boost of users in Lemmy until reddit does another thing that enshittifies it to annoy people to leave.
Oh shit then I’m getting WSTED 😎
