When I mean “specific,” I mean things like something dedicated to a certain genre, a certain video game, to gaming suggestions, to asking whether you should buy a certain game… anything that isn’t just one catch-all for any video gaming topic. So I’m not including the various !games@instance or !gaming@instance links.
EDIT: There seems to be an issue with kbin that is causing problems with my links and sending some people to the kbin.cafe search results for the community. Will probably make a new post and link to it here when the problem is solved, or copy/paste my source text on a different account.
I know about the following and will be adding to this list with links people comment with:
Before I add these, would you mind putting all the ones for the same platform, even if it’s less active? I added all the ones I know of so it feels weird to suddenly be more exclusive about it. I’m aware there are some posts here that probably have communities on other instances that aren’t listed, but I don’t expect each submitter to actively know about every single community for their game. The reason I’m requesting this of you is because you actually went and found all the communities, and I want to include the ones you chose not to submit due to size as well. If you’re not willing to go get the ones you chose not to submit, I’ll go hunt them down myself, but to be honest I’d rather not so I’m making the request of you.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !gaming@beehaw.org
From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it’s gaming you can probably discuss it here!
Please Note: Gaming memes are permitted to be posted on Meme Mondays, but will otherwise be removed in an effort to allow other discussions to take place.

As for platforms, there are a load of retro ones which can be added, not sure if you want to include those?
Added. I don’t mind including retro platforms. Also, Lemmings wins the best URL on the Fediverse forever (
lemmings@lemmings.world)OK, so will probably miss loads, but try these for starters. Where I’ve found multiple for the same platform the more active ones are nearer the top.

No problem, have added all the ones I know about.
Added, thank you so much for finding them!
