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
