    I looked at the comments on a few of your posts, and people are telling you exactly why they are annoyed by them.

    Your posts come off as low effort spam, almost like you’re treating Lemmy communities like a Discord chat room. Also, you post very similar kinds of things about the same couple of games on the daily, and people probably get tired of seeing samey stuff in their feed.

    I’ve noticed that you’re making hyper specific posts (“what do you think about X mission in rdr”) in a general gaming community. Try posting those hyper specific questions in the communities for the actual game you’re asking about, where people who want to nerd out about some random mission are more likely to be.

    It’s cool that you’re trying to engage people though, I think you just need to get some more practice at reading the crowd here. Lurk more, maybe. Lemmy isn’t the other site, we don’t necessarily resonate with all the same kinds of content here.

        Why is that impossible? Create the post in !reddeadredemption@lemmy.ml, or !gta6@lemmy.ml or !fortnite@lemmy.ml (those are the games OP keeps harping on) or whatever game they’re interested in.

        I guess if there’s no existing community, that’s an issue. Create one, then. Post the hyper-specific question into that new community, and then go post an announcement of the community in the broader games communities and let people interested naturally filter in.

        I’m not a Lemmy expert by any means, I’m just suggesting ways to engage with people that seems to me like it’d be more constructive and likely to be appreciated. 🤷

          To be fair I’ve found it much better to post in more generic communities than specific ones given the much smaller user count here, though generally I do that as a one off
