I checked that Lemmy Explorer site and searched for "patientgamers" and this community don't show up.
Just the ones on lemmy.world and sh.itjustworks
I was just wondering how you all found this place. Are you all on lemmy.ml?
Does this community show up on any lemmy indexer?
I so patient that i'll wait for this one to pick up.
I've been on ml from the start.
I'm on neither of those instances, but all four show up when I search for "patientgamers".
If memory serves, I stumbled across this community from one of my server's community highlighting bot's posts ( !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl ), it's a nice way to discover active communities I wouldn't have searched for otherwise.
I searched, like you did. Pretty sure I subbed all three.
Just found this one from all top 6hours
I wasn't aware that there were patientgamer communities.
This is the only one I'm going to sub to.
Welcome!
-> Search instead of manually going through full community list, to see which ones you like <- cute 🥹
Jerboa gave me these:
I'm pretty sure it shows up in Kbin 's search, which is how I found it.
Ah OK. Every time someone asks how to find other communities, I see that Lemmy Explorer site linked, which is why I searched there and was confused why this community wasn't on there.
Nice to know it's showing up in other indexers though.
It's possible to manually find communities on a given instance instead of using an indexer. I'm guessing that's how most people found it.
A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
