I mod a worryingly growing list of communities. Ask away if you have any questions or issues with any of the communities.

I also run the hobby and nerd interest website scratch-that.org.

  • I’m both posting as high output as I feasibly can of OC, and aggregating links from blogs and creators I follow to !tabletopminis@lemmy.world, as a way to minimize reddit content.

    !wargaming@lemmy.world is also full of links to articles and blog content relevant to the hobby that isn’t ripped from reddit.

    !warhammer40k@lemmy.world has a small but regular community.

    So many people complain about dead niche communities or niche communities only recycling reddit content. If that same energy was put in service to making new content, the communities would be improved. There is a bystander problem where loads of people complain, but if you check the profiler of the complainer, you often find few to no posts.



























  • Also complaints that lack specificity must be aggravatingly common. I once complained on an open board about a bug in Wasteland 3 and a dev reading comments actually PM’d me asking for details. I provided details as best I could, including screenshots- the very next patch included a fix for my niche issue. But I imagine most bug reports being “GAME BROKEn! SUX! Fix NOW character creation BROKENN!”










  • Scrolling through my subscribes, here are some of the ones mostly widely interesting I figure. In no particular order:

    Civvie11- Retro gaming enthusiast.

    Beware The Qu- Lots of speculative evolution content.

    Big red 40TECH- Battletech lore guy.

    BobbyBroccoli- Long videos about science scandals.

    Mandaloregaming- Long form game reviews.

    Seth Skorkowsky- Videos about TTRPG reviews and how to run TTRPGs.

    Warlockracy- Russian video game reviewer with a bent to older games and weird Russian obscure mods.

    Forgotten Weapons- Man on a life’s quest to collect French ammunition.

    Red Letter Media- Movie reviews and such.

    Wargamer Fritz- Battletech tabletop tactics.

    ReligionForBreakfast- Scholar who talks about religious history topics.

    The Tank Museum- Tanks.

    The Chieftain- Tanks.

    Paper Skies- Channel on strange aviation stories, focus on Soviet military aviation.

    Quinn’s Ideas- Scifi review channel. Huge Dune nerd.

    Olden Demon- Oldhammer channel. Talks about 2e and retells old 2e official battle reports.

    oboeshoesgames- Like Dunkey but still funny.

    Minisodes- Plays Oldhammer 2e in modern day and paints retro minis.

    Grim Beard- Goth that reviews usually more obscure games.

    Billiam- Watches and reviews a lot of trash TV.

    Ancient Americas- History channel about ancient American (north, central, and south) history.

    I’m subscribed to a lot of painting, DIY, instructional, and such channels which I find good but are very niche.
