I'm usually a lurker, but I decided to just go ahead and make one that I was missing. Something about personally wanting Lemmy to grow is motivating to me.

I made an XCOM community on Lemmy.world, and even though I'm the only one posting so far, it's fun to watch the subscriber count grow. Already at 50!

Please definitely don't be discouraged in the slightest, TPM.

Single-game forums were almost always the smallest gaming subreddits on Reddit, often times being several orders of magnitude smaller than the "gaming in general" communities.

But that special feeling of having other people passionate about that specific game you love can't be beat. Hang in there, and you'll definitely grow and get that engagement in time.

May I suggest doing an informal poll of some sort to boost engagement? I'm not that familiar with XCOM, but it's a pretty big series with a lot of games, right? Maybe just a simple "which is your favorite XCOM game?" thread.

And if it is still going in Reddit, make a post and link that it is now in Lemmy.
