Home page overview

At the top of your home page, you have quick access to most parts of Aftergame.

2. Search Aftergame: From here you can search for games, events, groups, and people. This is true anywhere the search bar says Search Aftergame.
3. Notifications: Also accessible from all your main tabs.

5. Events: A quick view of your upcoming events.
6. **Feed:** A chronological feed or your games and things from friends, events, and groups.

1. Feed filters: Change/specify what you see in your feed.

   You can filter out posts, updates from events you’ve attended, new event announcements from friends or groups you’re a part of, and or play logs (your own and the ones that get posted into your groups).

1. + Button: Open the menu to
   1. Plan a game
   2. Create event

Welcome to your Feed

As you join groups and make Aftergame friends, you’ll start to see more and more photos, play logs, polls, events, planned games, and posts from your connections.

There’s no algorithm here — your home page feed is a pure, chronological feed of your own activity and posts from people and groups that you care about.

Some things that will show up in your feed:

• Play logs that you’re a part of
• Posts from your friends
• New events from your groups
• Posts from your groups
• Games planned by your friends
• Games planned in your groups or events

You can like and/or comment on any kind of post.

Create a post

To create a post, tap the + Button at the bottom of your home page or start a discussion on a game, event, or group page.

If you’re posting from your home page, use the dropdown menu in the red circle to choose who sees your post.

Posts can include (or consist of) polls, photos, and game lists (or just words). Buttons to add these elements are at the bottom of the post above the keyboard. You can combine game lists and photos, but polls must have a post to themselves.

You can type @ to mention any Aftergame user and if you’re an admin or host, you can use @everyone to make sure all your players see the message in your group or event.

Polls

:poll-icon: Polls are useful for many things. Ours have some cool features.

• If you link games to poll options by tapping Game to the right of Option, people can tap on the game box to open the game info without navigating away from the poll, so even if they don’t know the games, they can easily check them out before voting.
• If you check Multi select, people can choose multiple answers.
• You can set a time frame after which the poll closes and sends you the results.
• When people first see your poll, previous answers are hidden to enable players to vote only on their own preferences. They can tap Show results before they vote if they want to know how other people voted. Once they’ve cast their vote, they’ll see everyone’s responses.
