Ludoya has two main activity feeds that help you discover games, events, and people. Each feed shows different content and serves a different purpose.

The Feeds

Following Feed

Your personalized stream of activity from the people and groups you follow. Shows everything they share — no filtering. Posts, play logs, reviews, event announcements, collection changes, all of it, in full. Infinite scroll to catch up on what's new from the people you actually care about.

Global Feed

Activity from the entire Ludoya community, curated to show only relevant posts — those with photos or real text content — so you get a clean stream of the things actually worth seeing rather than an endless wall of minor activity. A great way to find inspiration and see what's happening across the global board gaming world.

Automatic Translation

Ludoya translates posts inline when they're in a language different from your interface language — no setup needed.

When a post is in a language you don't speak, a Show translation button appears. Tap it to see the translated text inline, with a "Translated from [language]" label and a Show original link to go back to the source. Posts that others have already translated appear auto-translated straight away.

Adjusting which languages get translated: tap the gear icon next to the translation label to tell Ludoya which languages you already understand. It will stop auto-translating those, so you only see translations where you actually need them.

Translation works everywhere in the feed: posts, event announcements, play notes, and comments.

Content Types in Feeds

Any of the following can show up as a feed item, each rendered with its own banner so you can see at a glance what it is:

Posts

Text, photos. Share what you're thinking, coordinate game nights, ask for recommendations, or just chat. Posts can have photos and links, and may be tied to a specific game.

Reviews

Game reviews from community members, shown with the game and its star rating. Helpful for deciding what to play next or reading multiple perspectives on a game you're considering.

Plays

When you or your friends log a game session — whether through quick logging or a live session — it shows up as a feed item with the game, the players, and any photos or comments captured during play. Tap to see full details.

Collection Changes

See when someone adds or removes a game from their collection — new acquisitions, wishlist additions, games sold off. Discover what people are excited about.

Events

New events appear in the feed with the title, date, scheduled game count, and how many people are going. Great for finding things to join in your region.

Scheduled Games

Scheduled games — both standalone ones and those nested inside a parent event — show up with their date, seat count, and how many seats are filled.

Marketplace Listings

New marketplace listings appear in the feed with the game, listing type (Sell / Trade / Sell-or-Trade), price, condition, and location. A quick way to spot deals and trades in your region.

Game Kits

When someone publishes a Game Kit — a reusable play template with roles, setup steps, round steps, and a structured score sheet — it surfaces in the feed with quick stats about the kit's contents and how many times it's been used.

Interacting with Content

Like

Tap the heart icon to like a post, play log, or review. Your like is visible to others.

Comment

Tap the comment icon to add a comment. Start conversations about plays, games, or anything shared. Replies are threaded so you can follow the conversation.

Reply

Within a comment thread, tap Reply to respond directly to someone. They'll be notified.

Discovery Loops

Ludoya is designed so discovery chains together naturally:

  1. See a friend's play in your Following feed
  2. Tap the game to see the game's page, reviews, and where to play it
  3. Find an event listing that game
  4. Join the event to play with your community

Each piece of content is a starting point for discovery.

Scoped Feeds

Beyond the main feeds, activity also gets grouped into smaller, more focused streams:

User Profile Feeds

Every user profile has its own activity feed showing just that person's contributions — their posts, plays, reviews, collection changes, events, scheduled games, marketplace listings, and game kits all in one stream. Visit a profile to browse someone's full Ludoya history without the noise of everyone else.

Group Feeds

Groups have their own activity feed separate from the main feeds. Members post, log plays, and share updates within the group. This keeps group conversation focused and organized.

Pinned Posts

Admins and Organizers can pin important posts to the top of the group feed. Great for announcements, rules, or recurring logistics.

Sharing Beyond Ludoya

Image Exports

Share your gaming activity on social media and beyond:

  • Collection Export: An image of your collection highlights (customizable—choose which games show)
  • Play History Export: Visual summary of recent plays with scores
  • Monthly Summary: Auto-generated card showing your gaming stats for the month
  • Event Card: Share an event you're attending with details and your RSVP

QR Codes

Share Ludoya experiences using QR codes:

  • Event QR: Scan to RSVP to an event (great for posters and flyers)
  • Profile QR: Scan to follow or view a profile
  • Game QR: Scan to see a game's page and where to play it
  • Group QR: Scan to request or join a group

Print these on posters, include in emails, or text them to friends.

Deep Links

Shareable URLs that preserve context and filters:

  • Share a filtered collection view (e.g., "Party Games rated 7+")
  • Share a game page with reviews filtered by player count
  • Share an event with your RSVP status

When friends tap the link, they see exactly what you're referencing.

Embed Snippets

Organizations and groups can generate HTML embed snippets for external websites:

  • Events widget: Shows upcoming events
  • Games widget: Displays collection
  • Plays widget: Recent activity

Embed on your club website, game store site, or convention page to showcase what's happening on Ludoya.
