  Gee, what a perfect opportunity we’ve stumbled across

    We need more users. For sports for example, I doubt you’d even have even users for individual teams. A general sports community might be feasible though.

      I think I’m one of like 3 sumo fans on here

        Oh fuck is there a sumo community I should be a part of? November basho is so close, how far will Aonishki go? Is Hosh really back? What happened to Takeyasu’s hot streak from a few tournaments back? Is Ura still the love of my life? Will Kotoeiho ever make it back to Makuuchi??

        If you’re up for it, try to convert me into a fan. Why should I care about sumo? <Insert joke about fat guys in diapers> (FWIW I’m genuinely asking, I know nothing about it beyond pop culture depictions, and that it has a long history, but I’ll bet there are good reasons why you love it.)

      Yeah. The broncos have a community. It’s pretty much empty despite them having a really good season this year.

      Birds won’t visit a feeder you haven’t hung.

    Problem is critical mass for communities that simply won’t happen because of the overall demographics of Lemmy’s userbase - it would make little sense to have a community centered around, say, Facebook or Google products because the common Lemmy user is inclined to dislike either of them.

      Lemmy is pretty much just /r Linux and related subs.

      Also, with the way people are around here, a Facebook or Google centred community would just be smartasses shitting on Facebook and Google and anyone that tries to post about them.

      I see this hasn’t changed much since I was last here on Lemmy. Even this comment chain, I’m replying to, instead of suggesting nicely to OP to start a community and get something going here, it’s snark and sarcasm. And I know that would put me off, if I was considering making a community before that.

        You know, we say that but Reddit had and has more snark and sarcasm than even this place and they seem to have all the communities.

        Just start a community, and if people show up to your little pod of Facebook Marketplace reposting enjoyers and shit on your parade, show them the fucking door.

        Yeah I hate Facebook and Google and I wouldn’t willingly participate in those; but there is plenty of AI related shit in my All feed here that I just ignore because, while I fucking hate the religion created around generative AI those people aren’t bothering me.

        Now Nazi’s on the other hand I will gladly chase the fuck outta here. But you can, as a moderator, just delete the snark from your new community. The software just lets you do it.

        Turns out, people actually like snark and most attempts to quell it have been vastly more about appearing “advertisers friendly” than actually appeasing any user bases.

  I preferred when reddit was this size, and I prefer Lemmy to be this size (or marginally larger)

    I wouldn’t mind it if it didn’t lack sports so much. That is half the reason I would be on Reddit.
