Not sure if this counts or not, but I made two Piefed feeds (which collect many different communities in one page, AKA multi-communities)
-
/f/games@piefed.social - Collects general gaming communities like games@lemmy.world, pcgaming@lemmy.ca, etc.
-
/f/allgames@piefed.social - Includes the above feed as well as more general gaming communities such as emulation and game-specific 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.
threaded - newest
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?
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?
I think you need to go to public feeds --> Add remote feed, then add the ones linked in the post
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.
There’s an option in the settings to change that behaviour
Ah so there is. Very handy to know. Thanks for that!
