The NFL season is about to start and it would be nice to have as many people as possible participating on the communities from https://nfl.community. Being a topic-specific instance with closed registrations, I’m aware that it is harder to be discovered, so I’m writing here with the intent of both promoting a bit and to find enthusiasts joining in.

If you’d like to help the instance and the team communities grow, there are two ways to help:

  • Join https://fediverser.network, find the Lemmy community you want to help and apply to become a Community Ambassador. Community Ambassadors can add different sources of content and also send invites to “good” reddit users to migrate.

  • Become a moderator of your team community. The communities are still all low in traffic, so I guess the hardest part for the moderators will be in finding and posting the type of content that you’d like to see in the community, in order to set out its tone.

As always, if you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask!

    Hopefully, they will be auto subscribed to the communities that are recommended and be satisfied with what they have.

    So you agree that the goal is not to ease people into Fediverse, but to create a clone like experience. Glad we finally got to that.

    It doesn’t matter from the individual redditor point of view which instance they used to migrate, as long as the recommendations are sound.

    That’s where we disagree. You think a single recommendation is sound and “less confusing” instead of helping people understand what Fediverse is and how it works.

    I don’t think it’s productive, but good luck with the effort.

      No, not at all.

      • I do not want to force people to use an specific client that shoves ads on their faces.
      • I do not want to collect and track user data
      • I do not want to have any saying with the moderation teams.
      • I do not want to sell and monetize UGC and claim copyright on them.
      • I do not want to ban communities because they might scare off advertisers.

      You believe that Lemmy is better Reddit because of the things that it can do. I believe that Lemmy can be better than Reddit because of the things that it can not. Do you understand the difference?
