I absolutely despised the low effort shit in rgaming.

But please please please, if you’re going to accept low effort crap, make people post the title of the game in the post.

I voted no. Reddit has separate subreddits for gaming discussion and gaming memes and I would like it to stay that way here.

Much like the gaming subreddit and the games subreddit were seperate beasts with seperate purposes, I think games should be a seperate beast from whatever gaming memes place is created, from the obvious gaming (to keep the reddit paralell) to the less obvious but more true to purpose gamingmemes.

It’s definitely a valid question, because Lemmy is going to be just as vulnerable as reddit to the problem of how much quicker low-effort memes accrue upvotes, which naturally results in them drowning out articles and discussion posts. The latter, despite being more interesting and generally “higher-quality”, will always take more time per-user to engage with - so, in systems like this, they naturally fall behind in both pace and volume of upvote.

So, as long as we’re using an upvote system, those need to be split so the articles and discussion posts don’t get drowned out in a sea of easily-consumed and quickly-upvoted low-content posts. I know I would personally really prefer having a proper feedly-style community with a bunch of articles and discussions than another gaming meme one that could basically be a bot linked to an instagram feed.

I actually voted for one day but now that I've thought about it a bit more, I think I'd prefer a /c/games and /c/gamemes or something, just so the people that want the latter have their space all the time. It seems preferable to the friction of trying to share space for both styles of community when we don't actually have to. I think, if we do vote to keep them, we're going to need a /c/gamingdiscussion or something for the actual wordy content.

No memes. If there must be gaming memes let them be in their own place. They're low effort and don't add anything to good conversation.

No. Go to C/gamingmemes or something.

I guess no then it's a shame I like my communitys be a mix of memes and discussions. Hope someone makes a place for gaming memes

To encourage growth, I say yes.

Once we have a ton of users that can keep a discussion going drop the memes and let this become like the Reddit games sub.

What would a gaming community be without memes
