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.

A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
Rules
The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World's rules. You can click the link but we've reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn't a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.
1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.
A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn't rulebreaking and we can't be supportive to them then we probably shouldn't engage.
B. No illegal content.
C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.
D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.
E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.
2. Include a community or instance title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities or instances all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.
Formatting
Please include this following format in your post:
[link text](/c/[email protected])
This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won't
You should also include either:
or instance.com/c/community
FAQ:
Q: Why do I get a 404?
A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.
Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?
A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.

MODERATORS
[email protected] is cool indeed
Isn't [email protected] mostly inactive?
Yeah I wish there were more active communities that talk about games. Perhaps I should try posting on [email protected] 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/[email protected]
There must be a more instance-agnostic way to do this though? 🤔 Something like [email protected] maybe? Or is that more of a lemmy thing?
Thank you!
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!
