We're trying something different, thanks for joining us
Welcome to Aftermath, a worker-owned, reader-supported news site covering video games, the internet, and the cultures that surround them. Just launched today.
Would love to see them come to the fediverse, even if it was just something as simple as a bot. Their site is all RSSed up though. Can sub to the whole site here: https://aftermath.site/feed
It has a great “add feed” that can search for websites with feeds. So you can simply search for “aftermath” and it will find it — as opposed to knowing the feed already, or going on the site and then looking for the feed there.
You can also search for other sites or topics and build your own self-curated news sources without any algorithm.
If you end up not liking Flyn you can export your feeds as an OPML file and move to another app (just make sure that one has an export as well so you don’t end up locked in).
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]
Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.
Rules
1. Submissions have to be related to games
Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.
This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.
2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.
3. No excessive self-promotion
Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.
This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you’re submitting before posting to see if it’s already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.
5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW
Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.
No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.
6. No linking to piracy
Don’t share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.
We don’t want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.
Would love to see them come to the fediverse, even if it was just something as simple as a bot. Their site is all RSSed up though. Can sub to the whole site here: https://aftermath.site/feed
Or just the Video Games category here: https://aftermath.site/category/video-games/feed
Yeah, I don’t need a bot / feed for any specific service; give me an open standard like RSS any day.
I’ll look into it. Never have done anything like that.
Try Flym if you’re on Android.

Like finding podcasts
Thank you!
Hallelujah for supporting RSS! Thank you!
I have never gone into RSS I’ll look into it. Thanks!
If you want to follow on Mastodon follow [email protected] which just bridges rss to the fediverse.
Note: it will only work for future posts due to the nature of the project
Great stuff. Thank you!
I think only future posts is OK considering it’s 1 days old.
