Any plans to make a game thread similar to r/nfl?
Here’s one for the HoF game, bit late. Fuck the Jets
Yeah sports communities are the main thing lemmy hasn’t replaced reddit for me. Maybe we’ll see more activity when the season starts
I think the problem with sports is that the community is naturally fragmented by team, so while there may be a decent number of NFL fans around, it breaks down to 10-20 per team, and when 90% are lurkers, it is hard to get any discussion going.
We could try to have a league wide game day thread, but I’m not sure that would help - people would want to talk about the game they are watching, which again fragments the conversation.
I just want somewhere to talk shit to strangers about how bad their team is, while vehemently defending my shitty team
You make a very good point I hadn’t considered. Hopefully we can convert some of these lurkers to comment.
Hopefully
There is work being done on the bot that does game threads for Reddit to bring it to Lemmy. We’ve got it working for baseball, next up is football.
Awesome! Thanks for the update
I would be up for having game threads
Might help breath some life into this community. NFL content is about the only thing I still use reddit for
