I wanted to gauge the level of interest before I pull the trigger and create a community around video game modding. It’s something I could easily post consistently about but ideally I’d like others to engage with it as well so it doesn’t feel like I’m posting into the void.
A few communities already exist that are somewhat similar to this like !skyrimmods@lemmy.world, !totkmods@lemmy.world, !themoddingofisaac@sh.itjust.works, and !360hacks@lemmy.ml. I don’t know if people would prefer to use game and platform specific communities to talk about modding when they can.
I’d like to keep things platform agnostic because things can get muddy quickly with things like source ports and emulation.
My reference points for modding, Skyrim and Cyberpunk, both seem to produce sufficient content that having separate communities would seem to work better. A shared community risks building a high noise to signal ration for any particular subscriber
