Yesterday I created a community here for my indie game studio and made a single post to describe the new game we’re working on, only to find out today that it was banned for “spam” (according to the modlog).

I’ll respect the mods’ decision of course but I admit I’m mostly confused; did I miss something in the ToS and this kind of community is not allowed here? (or did I read the wrong ToS? The one I found here didn’t mention anything about this.)

    Yeah I get it too, and looking at the full community list, I don’t see a single company-related community, so it’s probably the reason.

    If that is indeed the reason though, I think it should be more explicit in the ToS so that people don’t do the same thing; no need to give mods more work than necessary

      It’d be worth finding out. Otherwise there’d be no lemmy equivalent to games having their own sub for community interaction like on reddit. Which is useful for players support as much as it is for the devs promoting it.
