Idk, they lack a lot of discussion unless you go to each specific games subreddit.

The general gaming subs are mostly dollar a dozen low effort memes or pictures of stuff.

Reddit is good for obscure indie game questions that you really can't find anywhere else online. Like when Spiritfarer came out, virtually no one on Gamefaqs played it or talked about it, but the reddit community was friendly and thriving. It really depends, I hate reddit 90% of the time but it has it's uses.

Most gaming subreddits are just meme posts and low effort karma bait ("just picked up this hidden gem, called Chrono Trigger, anyone ever play it?").

For real though, Reddit is not better than ganefaqs. Theres the upvote-downvote system which is terrible for discussion, yeah. But you cant even start a discussion if you dont have karma to begin with. So stupid.

Yeah. You're posting on an archaic laughingstock website where pizza face moderators delete your post for saying someone is goofy. Defend it if you need to.

I could never get into how the posts aren't in chronological order, instead they have try hard posts bumped up top and the funny troll posts get downvoted. No actual conversations.

Gaming subreddits are decent for the occasional dude dropping breakdowns of obscure mechanics and game knowledge. Otherwise its 99% just a bunch of low-talent massively average players complaining or offering braindead suggestions that they personally would love in the game.

The gamefaqs mods are much better than the Reddit mods

And piracy.

But I also like r/todayilearned, always something interesting there. No better place for NBA highlights than r/NBA. If you want up to date K-Pop news it's hard to beat r/kpop, same for other music genres. r/oldschoolcool is just...cool. r/AMA can be insightful depending on the person answering the questions. I could go on but yeah, just think there's a lot of good content there.

However I agree that it's not good for discussion and feeling a sense of community.

The only time I used reddit was to ask a question on a smaller sub.

My post was auto-hidden because I was a new user and I had to message a mod to get my post displayed. And IIRC the post hovered between 0 and 1 upvotes.

If you like reddit so much why dont you marry it?

They get shamed for it and depending on which mods see's it, it could be moddable. Lmgify is moddable.

If you can get an actual discussion going it is BAR NONE the best for discussion.

The problem is getting a discussion going that doesn't turn into shit flinging or off topic nonsense. Or hell even getting someone to notice your thread instead of the countless shitpost threads.

I generally have no issues with it, but it can be an absolute pain when you're trying to ask for specific help on specific subreddits. There's often lots of competitive downvoting of other new posts, and you always get trolls who just download everything that isn't the exact thing they came looking for.

It's not as bad for smaller communities, but if you go to bugger ones it can be a nightmare. Also doesn't help if you're not in a North American timezone.

This. Specific subreddits would be glad to answer questions. Just not the general ones which I rarely frequent anyway
