Yeah, r/WebGames really took off in terms of visibility, but it also had a weird downside, in that so many amateur devs started posting their projects there (seriously, like several per day), that it seems like the userbase suffered 'new game fatigue,' and consequently started downvoting almost everything, which is... kind of depressing to me. So the sub as a whole now has this toxic, careless vibe that I don't think used to be the case. It's very strange, in some ways. So unfortunately, not a friendly, inclusive place IMO.
What I had in mind on the Fediverse was to do a solid job with game curation (as you can see from my list), and try to carefully show off any game I was going to share. At least 1-2 posts per week, but probably even more in the beginning.
Along with that, I planned to create a running list of rated 'best-of' content that would probably be pinned or referenced on the side bar. Note: it would be crystal clear that these were my picks, separate from your own list you might make, for example.
Maybe something that would work is me creating a couple sample posts of what I have in mind over here, and see what you think. Ideally, I'd prefer not to reinvent the wheel, so to speak.
