Anyone have a list of active sports shorts comms? I was just trying to find some, but even nfl@lemmy.world was barren.
Not a sports guy, but you might check out https://fanaticus.social/communities since that’s the instance’s primary topic.
This was really helpful. Hoping to be part of a new wave of sports users.
During Reddit’s APIcalypse, people made a bunch of Sports related communities to try and mirror Reddit’s experience, but we simply don’t have the user base here to support team-focused communities, so most of them just sit there. People ran game-day bots for a while, but then realized the poor bot was only talking to itself, and turned them all off.
Fanaticus.social is trying to be what you want, so I would look there.
Lol, poor bot. Who should I talk to about booting them back up again, at least for orioles games?
Try whoever is the moderator at !orioles@fanaticus.social
We have a few (Canadian) ones listed in the sidebar or !canada@lemmy.ca
The list never got completed however. I’ll check back on this post later maybe
Thanks. I’m trying to get my brother over to lemmy. First thing he asked was, how’s the sports comms?
Great to hear!
Some of the communities are quiet, but you’ll find that people engage with your posts when you make them. Especially if there are a good number of subscribers for them
You can also post on !communitypromo@lemmy.ca or !newcommunities@lemmy.world if you’re reviving one, so that others can see
Finally, if you’re in contact with the mods on Reddit for a particular team, see if they’d be interested in having the Lemmy community be the official off-site space for the subreddit. People that want to talk about the team without ads/tracking/annoying UI can come here for it
Lemmy hates sports. I don’t know why. Maybe they’re all scared that the CLEVELAND GUARDIANS ARE TAKING THE MLB BY STORM!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
No. I haven’t been drinking. Why do you ask?
😂 ⚾ 🐦
You’re either a fan of the blue jays, or you just found the video of the time Randy Johnson made a bird explode with his pitching. And I’m not sure which. I don’t speak hieroglyphs.
I was laughing at your comment, showing a love of baseball, and poorly trying to show I’m a birds fan
