Comment on The small scale of Lemmy's active user base is never more evident than in the absence of active members in all the sports related communities.

Does your sport have a separate meme/shitposting community? If not that may be the missing component. Being able to both talk about the sport and make fun of parts of it are highly engaging.

Formula 1 seems to do decently here on Lemmy with its news and commentary community:

!formula1@lemmy.world with nearly 10k subscribers.

But importantly there’s also a place for shitposting and meming for the sport in a separate community:

!formuladank@lemmy.world with 4.1k subscribers.

So for every one subscriber to the main community there is about 1 subscription to the meme community.
