List more in the comments! I’ll add them if they are a community for a video game genre, and have had at least one post in the last month. Crossposted to !games@lemmy.world here.

I also found some genres with dead communities. Maybe someone would like to revive one, or make a new one (preferably on a smaller instance than lemmy.world)?
- !horrorgaming@lemmy.world
- !platformer_games@sh.itjust.works
- !puzzlegames@lemm.ee (yes, !adventuregames has some, whether puzzles actually belong with adventure games is another conversation. I don’t think so but I’m not an expert on either genre)
- !realtimestrategy@lemmy.world and !rts@reddthat.com
- !survivalgames@lemm.ee
On my search for communities to put here I found some genres seem to be wholly missing. Let me know if I missed something!
- MMOs
- open world/sandbox
- RPGs that don’t really fit in CRPG or JRPG
- shooters (think FPS, hero shooters, literally any shooting game that does not fit in the shmup/shoot-em-up genre)
- simulation in general
- sports
- stealth
For what it is worth, when I log into my incremental.social account I see the posts you make there.
Thats important to know! I can only see Agent Karyo’s posts and no other and no comments. I always thought that the community is dead…
A bot posts weekly and usually me, CardboardEmpress, laleyou, and kopi-pasted will comment; and sometimes we make posts. I just posted a game there in the past 3 days. Weird…
New posts works, but sometimes I can’t see my own posts (new or otherwise) when accessing incremental.social with my LW account.
Perhaps the admin should reach out to other instances admins to try and figure out how to resolve this.
