I’ve played some games for which I want to make comms, but I’d rather make them on a gaming-related instance like Lemmy.zip rather than my registered one. Is this possible or would I need to make and manage a second account on the target instance?

Or could someone there just make /c/FTL and /c/SliceandDice? Lol.

    I’m pretty sure you need to be registered to the instance to make a community. You could just make an alt account on lemmy.zip and make the community, then appoint this account moderator.

        Hmm… that is tricky. Yeah, I guess alt accounts it is… unless we just ask people to make communities.

      They’re “roguelite” games. Games that feature permanent death, and are designed to be played from the start over and over while you learn more about the game, and often unlock new things each run (metaprogression) that can make each future run a little easier, or at least different.

      Examples:

      • Binding of Isaac
      • Dead Cells
      • Enter the Gungeon

      The “roguelite” name comes from “roguelike” which itself is used to describe games being similar to “Rogue”, a very old ASCII dungeon crawler that pioneered this sort of gameplay. Roguelikes are modern, turn-based dungeon crawlers that feature the same mechanics.

      Examples:

      • Caves of Qud
      • Shattered Pixel Dungeon
