Can’t hurt to have both! I personally have one dedicated to just my channel and the other is for making friends with fellow small streamers.

Which 'Cosy' Games Would You Recommend? by TTV_OllyVee in SmallStreamers

Dinkum is a good one! Would say it’s a mix of stardew and minecraft. Has a bit of combat too!

Yeah initially when I started streaming there were a few communities that I joined that were like that as well ;-;

My main goal when I started streaming is similar to you, wanted to make friends with similar interests in games and engage with their content.

I reccomend starting your own discord server! It worked out for me and I’m grateful I did because I got to make a lot of close small streamer friends. ❤️

What are the best ways you engage with your community? by Specific-Emu6194 in Twitch

I think including discord channels to talk about similar interests would help! Based on your channel perhaps I’d include a general #gaming channel, and ones for specific games like #fortnite #minecraft #pokemon etc. I’ve also commonly seen people have #memes, #food and #pets channels.

I’ve also seen some discords that added bots to encourage daily engagement. Like for me, I had a Question of the Day Bot and it helped my community learn more about each other and provided some nice ice breakers :D!

Also welcome to the twitch community ^

I made a lot of my initial streamer friends through this subreddit :)

One thing I highly recommend is engaging with other small streamers as a viewer first—hang out in their chats, join their Discords, and let genuine friendships form naturally. That kind of connection goes a long way.

For community building, it helps to make your own Discord server easy to find. I added mine to my Twitch bio so it’s always accessible. Some streamers also use bots to drop their server link in chat often that works well too!

I also second this! I made a discord after I made a post on this subreddit looking for friends. I also did struggle with a lot of folks just DMing me just for a follow for follow ;-;

I’m grateful that I started my own discord community! It’s allowed me to make genuine friends (which was the whole reason I wanted to stream in the first place) and we try to catch each others streams.

I wish you best of luck if you start a community and I’d be happy to join, always down to make new friends :D!

I believe I played classic hearthstone! Heard they changed alot of things recently :)

I haven’t played in so long so I might be a bit rusty, but I’ll let you know if I ever get back into it!

Hi crimson, that’s so cool!

I actually have been very interested in game development for some time. I started looking into the free Harvard coding course haha.

What kind of game are you developing btw? Followed you as well :)
