There's also other alternatives like https://fixtur.es/en/, but they're usually limited for teams outside the main competitions (e.g., Europe's top divisions).

For example, the Brazilian team I support (Atletico Mineiro) plays its regional tournament (Campeonato Mineiro) from Jan until mid/late Feb, which doesn't usually show up in these services. Since Atletico doesn't have an official calendar, for 2-3 months I don't really get the schedule using something like fixtur.es. For the 2023 season:

Footcal tries to fix this by using a source that has more tournaments than others sources. I basically developed it for it to work for Atletico's calendar, but thought it could be helpful for others too :)

Some of them do! Not my favorite team though... Atletico Mineiro had for a long time an official calendar, but it sucked! They had an event that showed up everyday called "Team's Practice" -- which I put up with for years! -- but a couple of years back they just stopped updating the calendar, which led me into looking for alternatives. So this is more like an option in case the team you root for doesn't have an official calendar you can subscribe to.

 

Hey folks, have you ever wanted to see your favorite team's schedule within your regular calendar app? Well, I have so I created an app that can do that!

I started developing footcal a few weeks ago; it can create calendars with your favorite team's matches that you can import into your regular Google calendar (or whatever service you use). The gist is that you get the URL with the team ID, import it into your calendar service, and it should show the team's schedule among your other events. It also keeps updating itself so new matches show up as they get scheduled.

I'm happy to answer questions, and I can try to help with any issues you have. You can also check the help page (https://footcal.cbdm.app/help) for a little more detailed explanation.

Fair warning that I'm using a free API account, so if we run out of requests when you try to use it, you'll have to wait for the next day to roll around :)

"minor changes"

To add another example here, I saw the same behavior on this post: https://lemmy.ml/post/1136642. Right now it has 43 comments on lemmy.ml but over on my instance (link) there's only 18.

It's also unclear to me why some posts are not showing up, since the new ones (4h ago) appear, some old ones (7d ago) too, but some in the middle (6d, 5d ago) do not, which doesn't really make sense...

Some of our favorites are Catan, power grid, ticket to ride, azul, and bananagrams.

That's a good point! I think we usually hear about millions of users and don't realize the scale you need to serve the thousands that'd be in each instance...

I've seen this post today showing users on each instance: https://beehaw.org/post/466182 It's not automated, but the op said they'd post updates too :)

But the new users can join any lemmy server and still interact with everyone, so ideally the load would be distributed throughout all the instances instead of making one of them overloaded.

Awesome! Subscribed :)

I usually play multiplayer games more, unspottable, wilmot's warehouse, and moving out are pretty fun!

Single player, the last one I played was my friend Pedro which was also pretty good!

I commented mathler which seems like a simpler version, but this looks awesome!
