All a community like this needs is one or two passionate people to keep posting content regularly, even if it's just links to articles. Be the change you want to see.
You know I might take that advice and start making a habit to search for and post something everyday or every other day. There's a lot more tutorials coming out that can be posted and discussed.
IMO tutorials are terrible content for a link aggregator like Lemmy or reddit. They are targeted to a specific skill level and a specific "how-to" that may or may not be useful to aritrary users.
I think it's much better to see people's screenshots or videos of their games, and ask how they did something. It's more interesting content and it leads to more engagement on the site because people have to actually discuss it in the comments.
I almost never watch tutorials, and even on Reddit the comments when they are posted are 100 variations on "thanks, great work" instead of actual discussion.
That's a fair assessment and I'll keep that consideration when deciding what to post, thank you
I disagree
Are these people not on lemmy and reddit?
I watch tutorials, but only if it's specifically for something that I want to do, not just on whim. So I agree. When I need a tutorial, I'll search for it on YouTube. Any that I see here I will just scroll past
That would be awesome. I don't use Godot regularly but I do play around with it from time to time.
