Lemmy is not a single person. Different people have different opinions. In the Nintendo community, they're probably going to be more favorable towards Nintendo.
Obviously my tongue in cheek original comment was a criticism of the prevailing tone that many many subs had over previous months. I'm calling out the hypocrisy of the group, not the individual. I'm calling out how quickly sentiment shifts as soon as the member berries are activated
Yes, Lemmy has interest groups known as "communities". This one is named "Nintendo", for posts relating to Nintendo games and consoles. Your Lemmy client should display that information on the post list, and in the post itself.
Most people are familiar with reddit, and Lemmy is organized in a similar manner. If you're new to Lemmy and not familiar with reddit, you can get up to speed by reading the introduction: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/index.html
Lemmy was up in arms at Nintendo with their stance on emulator legal crackdown. I saw many "never again" comments. Now a new thing from a beloved franchise comes out and the tone is "gimmeeee"
Ah got it, well you cannot be sure the same people who is against Nintendo is the same who wants to play the newest Metroid (well, maybe you could, if you investigate, as Lemmy userbase is still small, it would be feasible, but it would be a waste of time IMHO).
Also there is another fraction of people who will play their games but won't support Nintendo financially 🏴☠️ so yeah, this subject is just not white and black I think.
