Hey everyone, friendly neighborhood mod here with a quick question. As this community starts to take shape what are you looking for in it? What kind of things would you like to see posted? What would you not like to see posted?
You must log in or register to comment.
Xbox news, reviews of games, rumors, discussions of games. As for what I don’t want to see…too much wish fulfillment and nostalgia bait? Repeated posts of “remember this” or “I wish they would release a new game for x”. That has its place certainly, but I don’t want this community to be primarily that.
+1
Put it rather succinctly. I hope this community grows.
What games people like, what games are coming out, including the game pass. Maybe gameplay of unreleased content only.
Personally I would like to see this become what the xboxseriesx subreddit is right now.
That sub has great moderation and meaningful discussion in most comment sections.
That is where I came from as well. Hopefully we can get to that level. Our user levels are slowly building up, we just need more people to interact and post now.
I don’t interact much with Reddit but plan to do a lot here to help it grow :).
Someone needs to leave that first comment on posts to spark a conversation.
Exactly! And hopefully as more people see interactions they’ll interact more themselves.

Mainly Xbox news and discussion, with maybe the occasional meme. I can do without the low effort “Look what I bought!” posts where it’s just a picture of a controller or an Xbox.

Agreed.
Video games. What really soured me on the subreddit was the constant updates/posts about whatever lawsuit Sony and MS are in right now. It’s stupid, only promotes console war type bullshit, and frankly, I don’t care.
What about discussing video games instead of constant updates about news
How can we contain console war garbage? That would be my biggest suggestion. Right now Reddit PS5/XboxSeriesX subs are basically millions of people pretending they are totally above and too mature to participate in console war nonsense, yet the only posts that gain any traction in a meaningful way are Xbox Vs. Sony posts. Maybe find a balance where major ongoing topics are contained to a weekly thread. So there is a weekly game performance thread, weekly Microsoft/Activision merger thread. Something like that. Otherwise this is just going to be Reddit again in short order.
Lemmy PS5 mod here. Console warring is not allowed over on lemmy.ml/c/ps5. I’ve had a stray comment or 2 about starfield vs final fantasy, but the community voted it down so I didn’t intervene. If it gets bad I will not hesitate to take action. We are all gamers, and we should all be celebrating gaming. Personally I play on PS5, Switch, and PC/steam deck.
As for the merger news, articles are allowed to be posted on my community as long as they are playstation related. I think making a discussion thread dedicated to the mergers will have the opposite effect and will cause more issues. As @AlexanderTheGreat@lemmy.world has mentioned below, the Xbox, Nintendo, and PS5 mods are all friendly and are working to foster great console gaming communities across Lemmy.
I don’t have an Xbox, but I am an Xbox Cloud Gaming subscriber and really love it.
Hopefully there will be some posts about CG.
How is cloud gaming where you are located? It’s really hit or miss for me when I’m outside of the house. Even on a 5G network.
It’s great on my iPad inside my house with wifi.
Also good most of the time on LTE/5G when I’m hotspotted, but the graphics quality drops every few minutes. Not unplayable on slower games (Cities Skylines, etc.) but definitely not good enough for all games.
Hey! I’m the mod over on !ps5@lemmy.ml just wanted to pop over and say hi!
Hello! How are you guys doing over there? Building a great community I hope!
Doing my best! We were affected with a bug that made us not show up in search for a few days but that’s been fixed with the rollout of BE 0.18!
I’ve been keeping in touch with the mod over on Nintendo in a matrix chat. Feel free to reach out anytime. I think we should all work together to make console gaming on Lemmy a vibrant place!
I wholeheartedly agree with that sentiment. I also love your name. Absolutely hilarious!
Just my theory of the universe 😂, glad you like it
