I've basically lost all interest in keeping my communities alive at this point. I tried posting daily myself, I encouraged others to join in, I had bots pulling content from reddit to have any activity there, people grew discontent but didn't post themselves. Basically back to square one and don't feel like starting out again. Guess I'm good without them

Post once in a week. No need to post daily. Like I do in !balatro@lemm.ee. Also, I was thinking to post in !sekiro@lemmy.zip but will never post on !bloodborne@lemmy.zip until it get remastered or ported to PC.

How many posts at a time do you post?

One can hope that there will be some movement in the Bloodborne camp sometime in the future

2 or 3 atleast

That's fine, your niches were probably too small for the current lemmy population.
Souls-like fans will probably have to go to more generalist video game communities

I checked out a couple of your posts on reddit where you also mention that we had an active community of around 70k people across the entirety of Lemmy. I was under the impression that we're a lot more. In light of that, it makes sense they didn't pop off more. Shittydarksouls seems general enough to gather enough people

It's even less than that, it's 45k monthly active users

Didn't know about !shittydarksouls@lemmy.world , so it's probably where most of the people are
