    Not the person you’re replying to but wanted to share my 2 cents

    You might consider keeping things broad given how small a platform lemmy is and how niche the subject matter is. I like the idea of them being separate but splitting community more than strictly necessary runs the risk of the community dieing without enough people having things to post. You can always acknowledge future plans to split, and make it two separate communities in the future

    Ultimately you know best what kinda space you wanna make and how you wanna go about it, I just think your community idea is neat and wanna see it reach a stable number of active users :)

    Hope you have a great day!

      I know that problem too well, but working with old hardware or software is a very different thing to replicating the retro look.

      What I might do to open it up, is to replace the mentioned console generations with a more generic “old”. I remember someone did real-time raytracing on the PS3 CPU, which was pretty cool.
