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.

Thanks for your opinion. Do you post in that community? Do you have a better idea? If you can answer both questions with no I would ask what differs your post from spam.

I’m not a sports fan what so ever but in other communities bots have been tried and it didn’t go well.

  The !dailygames@lemmy.zip bot works very well.

  Okay, where did you get that info? Do you know what the term anecdotal evidence describes?

    The last one I looked at was the LTT community
    
    It had nothing but bots and the occasional user talking about how much the hate LTT

    Well, there you have the exact meaning of anecdotal evidence. It does not count at all. Also, it is assuming causation instead of corellation.
    
    And ltt is a great example for a place thats quite incompatible with the fediverse. Linus is a good pipeline to get peeps into computers but not a great person, sadly.
    
    That said, the person asking specifically wanted NEWS. Can you umagine how your goals differ?
