Anyone have a list of active sports shorts comms? I was just trying to find some, but even nfl@lemmy.world was barren.
We have a few (Canadian) ones listed in the sidebar or !canada@lemmy.ca

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.

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 the just sit there. People ran game-day bots for a while, but then realized the poor bot was only talking to itself, and turned it 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
