I made Piefed feeds for video games

Not sure if this counts or not, but I made two Piefed feeds (which collect many different communities in one page, AKA multi-communities)

The reason I made these is because the default gaming feed is lacking some communities and mixes a lot of very specific communities with general ones.

If anybody knows good gaming communities that aren’t dead, do share them so I can add them to the feeds.

Thank you!

I have to unsubscribe from most gaming communities on fediverse because they are mostly news and too frequent.

I prefer communities that talk about games instead of just links to blogs.

I know Patient Gaming and Let’s Talk About Games.

!patientgamers@sh.itjust.works is cool indeed

Isn’t !letstalkaboutgames@feddit.uk mostly inactive?

cloudless@piefed.social on 17 Jun 12:28 collapse

Yeah I wish there were more active communities that talk about games. Perhaps I should try posting on !letstalkaboutgames@feddit.uk and see whether people still participate.

Patient gamers can also use more activity if you play games older than 1 year

I exclusively play games older than 1 year. ;-)

I'm new to piefed. Could someone explain how I can subscribe to these from piefed.ca?

simple@piefed.social on 17 Jun 13:55 collapse

I think you need to go to public feeds --> Add remote feed, then add the ones linked in the post

tunetardis@piefed.ca on 17 Jun 21:24 collapse

Ok thanks I managed to subscribe eventually through the link: https://piefed.ca/f/allgames@piefed.social

There must be a more instance-agnostic way to do this though? 🤔 Something like !allgames@piefed.social maybe? Or is that more of a lemmy thing?

Thanks!

One thing I noticed is that when you add this feed, it will automatically add all the communities on the listed feed.

This is probably fine for most people, but something to note if you aren't that interested in something that is on the feed.

Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 17 Jun 15:48 collapse

There’s an option in the settings to change that behaviour

mintiefresh@piefed.ca on 17 Jun 17:24 collapse

Ah so there is. Very handy to know. Thanks for that!
