Old School Runescape.

Also, I'm really confused as to why chess doesn't have an active community on Lemmy. Online chess has seen a big boom in recent years, and the demographics of chess players and Lemmy users should have a lot of overlap (i.e. the nerdy IT people), but for some reason the chess community here is more or less dead. Only anarchychess is active, which is great, but I'd love to have an active replacement for r/chess.

It's pretty weird the meme community got going but the more serious one didn't.

I mean it makes some sense as memes take less effort to post (they can also just be copied from r/anarchychess or similar places) and lead to some quick upvotes. I'm still confused about chess@lemmy.ml having so little activity though.

It's weird, but you need to prefix an exclamation mark to have the links to communities work in lemmy: !chess@lemmy.ml

Otherwise it tries to have you send it an email.

AnarchyChess seems to be doing alright here 😅
