Very happy with !football@lemmy.world and the matches thread now, thank you @UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev
I’d like to see a sports specific instance (just something like lemmy.sport) so we could have all the sport communities on one instance, rather than all over the place, and also avoid the weird politics and who’s (not) federated with who issues.
That has been exactly my reasoning when I created the topic specific instances, and I have been trying to convince @blaze@feddit.org to get out of LW and into !talk@soccer.forum
Regarding a “general” sports instance, I have setup https://athletic.center/ some long ago, but never got to create communities for it. I was thinking of using it for less sports that are less “professional” and more suitable for hobby practitioners (e.g, sailing, skiing, diving, swimming, CrossFit, etc) the main reason, to be totally honest, is that sport.* are quite expensive.
For people curious, we had a long discussion last week: https://feddit.org/post/2471872/1817865
In summary
- I’m still not convinced on rglullis’ business model, relying on 30$ yearly subscription to keep running the instances (I’m afraid that after a while, he’ll get tired of trying and then will have to shut down all the instances due to costs)
- I’m not a moderator of !football@lemmy.world , so it’s not even my community
Nice growth for !showsandmovies@lemm.ee , we’ll probably surpass !television@lemmy.world soon
Edit: actually, we already did
Pretty happy with !noyank@lemmy.ml it is on its way to 300 people and has several active subscribers. If a discussion-type thread is started (rather than a recommendation thread) it does get discussion going.
!aneurysmposting@sopuli.xyz has been growing steadily whether I post or not. Its now a decent size and I haven’t checked but I think more relevant on Lemmy than don’t dead open inside which would be the closest comparison.
Also a community that came through organically on Lemmy and not an import from the other site!
!aneurysmposting@sopuli.xyz , thanks for sharing!
I think there is another one that don’t dead open inside (basically the orders of the words is different), but I don’t remember the name

That would be !nosafetysmokingfirst@sh.itjust.works! Over 250 subscribers in just a week!
!shortstories@literature.cafe is also an important community on the host instance and has a decent base by now.
I’m just happy its on a relevant instance since it would’ve been much easier to grow it on lemmy.world but I didn’t want another Lemmy.world community
