Places like this, basically. Other forums or Discord servers or those kind of communities in general for people making/sharing games where people get fat and/or inflated. Not really looking for places dedicated to specific games, but if you know any where a lot of talk about other games happens, those are good too. Bonus points for places that don’t allow genAI, of course.

replying simply to get this topic back at the top of the list, and so I get notified of any responses. Im also looking to pack my bags and hit the road.
fuck me, maybe THIS is the discord server I should start instead of the one I was thinking about in my post about AI.

I mean, basically there aren’t any. Not publicly accessible, anyways. Your closest comparison is the tfgames.site - but that is all forms of transformation, not just weight gain or expansion. Other than that? Fenoxo’s forum has a subsection for adult games in general, but it covers everything and thus is basically no different from other “all adult games” sharing forums like f95. Maybe some private Discords, but… well, I have no idea what they are or how to get access because they’re private.
The “community” aspect of the Internet has really suffered from the rise of social media and algorithmic feeds. People don’t really talk anymore, they just consume what the sorting AI feeds them and throw their own comments on the content instead of actually attempting to converse. Discord is a slight exception, but it’s not visible or readily accessible from outside (by design) and so it creates tiny fragmented pocket cliques instead of communities due to the difficulty of finding those which already exist (and, frankly, how bad Discord gets when a huge number of people are in the same community - if you have to mute channels and ignore what gets posted due to flooding, that channel is functionally useless for discussion).
EDIT- It has been pointed out to me that weight gain is not listed in the categories of “transformation” on TFGames, and thus some game developers from here who have tried to submit their games there have had them rejected if they do not incorporate other TF themes. So… that’s something to keep in mind there, too.

Good point-- additionally to communities, I’d like to see magazines come back, and read all about all the hottest weight games monthly ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´ω`ﾟ)ﾟ｡ Algorithms remove the loving curation.
I can’t think of much…
Browsing Artwork -- Fur Affinity [dot] net “Fat Furs” tag and “Interactive Media” category
https://bodyinflation.org/ Literature and forums, not games. Long-running classic community, but allows AI.
Maybe I’ll post updates for my game here in the projects forum, and share cool games I find here, everyone is free to do the same-- https://discord.gg/TddZ2D4Bew
Forums only, no AI, respect each other. ٩( ‘ω’ )و
Because I’m curious, what exactly is that Discord link?
It’s just one I started in case WG goes under, for anyone to put project updates and talk about games. I’ll be sharing about my game there, but it’s not a place about me at all. I really could not find any other place like it. （╹◡╹）

“Weight gain is not listed in the categories of transformation”
Wouldn’t “Growth/Expansion” qualify as weight gain?
This information is quite old and may have changed since then so take this with a grain of salt, but I think I remember one dev on the discord was complaining about their game being rejected from tfgames.site for not having any TF in it even though they had weight gain.
And while I have not been able to directly confirm it I have had a few people tell me the owner doesn’t consider weight gain to be a form of TF and has been very selective about letting pure weight gain content onto their site.
This info is fairly old though (like pre-2020s) so their policies may have changed since then and it always worth a shot if a dev thinks its the right move for them. I just know I heard from a hand full of people that the chance of rejection for pure weight gain content seems to be fairly high there.
I agree with Baalf: “Growth/Expansion” should qualify as weight gain.
