It’s a 2016 game. It has cutesy pixel graphics. That’s literally all I know, but it has been spamming my frontpage for two weeks now, despite me not being subscribed to this community.
Why now?
If you’re seeing it and you’re not subscribed here there you must be browsing Local or All rather than your subscribed communities.
- Subscribed - only stuff you’re subscribed to (called Home in some apps).
- Local - all posts from communities on your instance, and this Stardew Valley community is on your instance.
- All - all posts your instance knows about, everything from your Subscribed and Local feeds plus every post from every community that someone on your instance has subscribed to, including communities on other instances
So the answer is that you’re seeing a lot of posts because someone is making a lot of posts, people are upvoting them (the game is from 2016 but it’s still very popular and still getting new content updates) and you’re viewing feeds where they show.
Correct, a user has been actively posting for the last week. Before that, a 3 month gap.
Despite the age, it remains extremely popular and the dev is still active.
It’s a great game, I assume if this community is showing up it’s just because there is active discussion going on? I can’t tell if you’re asking a question about Stardew Valley, or if you’re really asking how Lemmy works?
Some dedicated fedinauts posted several posts over the last days. Thats how it became trending.
I am very glad they did because the game is awesome
i am a bit envious that you haven’t played the game yet. you can still experience it for the first time. have fun.
Because it’s really great

It’s a good game. I think it qualifies as a cozy game but it’s a go at your own pace and enjoy the ride experience
I think the community is new? So lots of people saw it and started making their own posts too. When I started a community I spammed it with posts because I wanted people to find it
It isn’t that new. It was made in 2022.
Ah it looks like someone just started posting trying to bring it back to life. They even reposted in ‘new communities’
I believe someone did start a new Stardew community recently and that might be what you are seeing.
It’s a good and chill game.
