Maybe you can convince people that run US sports communities on general instances to move to your instance? 😁
I’m sure trying! Content is king though so that’s what we’re focusing on with the game bots.

Hi, I’m an admin at fanaticus.social. Sorry for the inconvenience! Game bots are an important way for us sports fans to interact with one another during games but I understand how annoying they can be if you don’t care about the sport.

In the future, we are planning on adding the game bots for the other major sports as well (they’re not in season now) but hopefully that will be a nice jumping off point for you.
Shameless plug for !baseball@fanaticus.social (check out our sidebar for the team-specific communities). We’ve got the game bots ported over and are working on improving them and adding new features.
I agree with !matt@lemmy.world though, the Venn diagram of sports fans and tech-savvy lemmy pioneers is pretty small. You can help by posting and commenting to attract more users. More content == more users (eventually).
Just chipping in to promote my own lemmy instance: I created !baseball@fanaticus.social and communities for the other 30 MLB teams to replace the subreddits we left behind.
I think that’s a great idea! I reached out to the moderators using the “contact the moderators” button in the sidebar on one of my favorite reddit communities but never got a response. I’m not sure if anyone read it or if Reddit just made it go away.
I don’t want to spam a bunch of individual users so I might try discord.
Oof. Well I suppose the instance owners could create another wiki app on the subdomain (there are plenty to choose from) but I’d imagine it’d be a pain to deal with auth and permissions (e.g. who gets to edit the wiki).
Interesting, what pieces of the community configuration do you think won’t port over nicely? I’m not disagreeing that Lemmy functions differently from Reddit – just getting to the point where I could make a post was enough to prove that 😆 – but I hadn’t considered things like the subreddit rules wouldn’t port over 1:1.
Now that you mention it though, does Lemmy even support community wikis?
I agree with most of the other posters, I’m done with reddit. I want the community but I don’t want the corporation. It’s not that I find admins who run lemmy instances more trustworthy by default, but the decentralized nature make me think it can be more resilient and altogether a better experience.
Boy do I wish we had RIF for lemmy though 😞
🥲
We’ll have the game bot up and running by the time the season rolls around!
