- Yes, gaming is definitely a huge topic on Lemmy
  
  Still, the last four ones ha ha ha, do you think there could be a way to consolidate?

  Consolidating is hard because I'm a bit of a hoarder so I can't stand to unsubscribe from any of them lol. I don't mind the duplicate posts so much. But maybe someone can suggest which of those communities can be skipped in favor of others.

  Hello!
  
  Question for you: have you ever considered moving your community to another instance, like !games@sh.itjust.works, to spread the communities a bit out of Lemmy.world?
  
  Centralization creates technical issues, at the moment aussie.zone have a week delay with LW as it is too large ( https://lemmy.world/post/15634599 ). There was another issue in the past, where instances like lemmy.blahaj.zone, lemdro.id, lemmy.nz, reddthat.com were impacted : https://lemmy.world/post/13967373

!letstalkaboutgames@feddit.uk is technically "active" (the discussion post about whether it was abandoned was made 5 days ago...) and I'd really like it to flourish. If you want a place for text posts, OC analysis or just lengthy discussion as opposed to links to news, that's the spot.

Also again promoting !deadlock@sopuli.xyz for all things about Valve's new game.

- To flourish, it probably needs a mod, at least to setup a weekly discussion thread and give people opportunity to comment

  That's true. I suppose you'd need mod privileges to set up a sticky.
