Next time I need tech support for an obscure indie game that probably sold less than a thousand copies I'll be sure to check the Lemmy community for that game.

Okay, now you literally are saying I didn't try hard enough.
This is not my first account (it's also not anywhere close to a year old, not sure where you got that idea). I'd tried to start a few communities over on kbin.social, but that's gone now.
I don't have the energy to spend several hours a day flooding threads nobody will engage with, just in the hopes that if I keep it up forever eventually one of them might get a reply or two. It's not that easy, and it's patronizing to act like that's such a simple solution I should've thought of.
Fighting games and Riichi Mahjong. !fgc@lemmy.world and !mahjong@lemmy.nerdcore.social exist, but are pretty barren. I'd also previously tried to start communities for them on kbin.social, but that's gone now.
Also arcade-style versus puzzle games, but those are so dead these days that even on Reddit they didn't have an active sub.
Not overnight, that's for sure. It's going to take a long time to ever get that kind of critical mass.
Puyo Puyo Champions - help me I'm relapsing
Riichi Mahjong - mahjong causes great damage to the human spirit without a single benefit
Blue Revolver: Double Action - This has been sitting in my Steam library and I saw it got a big update. Learning how to play a shmup is on my bucket list, but so far I cannot get any further than stage 4 on the lowest difficulty. Very fun though, and banger OST.
Also went down to Round 1 earlier this week, haven't been in years. Played a few rounds of Wacca, Chunithm, Arcana Heart, and Chaos Code.
I've tried, believe me I've tried. Posting a bunch of threads out into the void doesn't suddenly manifest a like-minded community to reply to and engage with those threads. It won't truly be viable until there's a much larger userbase to begin with.
And honestly, it just comes across as patronizing to say the only reason my hobbies don't have traction here must be because I didn't try hard enough.
"Nice scarf. Do zey make zem for girls?"
"Nice face. Do they... uh, shut up."
Pardon me for wanting to have a place where I can discuss my hobbies, I guess.

I don't think this type of block makes sense for a more forum-like environment. In fact I think it's more absuable for bad actors to be able to conceal their rhetoric from anyone they know would oppose it.
Better UX would be nice, but that's not what would solve the Nazi problem.
