Its rhe only thing I wish could change about my experience using Lemmy, for more active users in the communities like NFL or NHL and the affiliated team pages of those sports. I haven’t had any social media in decades, my main source for sporting news breaks up until 1-2 years ago was Reddit.

I love the small community that makes up Lemmy. As someone just posted, it feels like a small town community. I like the absence of corporate shills and ads and bots.

Back when I switched from Reddit to Lemmmy, I made an effort to upvote and comment on the NFL and Buffalo Bills communities. I eventually gave up because it was like months of posting, voting and commenting but when I would go back to check the communities, everything would still be sitting at like 2 up votes and 0 comment replies or if it was my own post, 1 upvote and 0 comments. For a majority of cases. Every once in a blue moon I would come accross a post where another user voted or commented but it was never more than me and one other user.

I know there is a certain demographic that uses Lemmy that is mostly driven by the required IT prowess needed to set up, use and even understand the federated concept. I also recognize that this demographic is traditionally disinterested in sports. Im not complaining about this or the users who are on Lemmy. Im also not wishing for any changes be made to aggressively expand Lemmy’s user base. Its just an impractical wish I have so I could get my sports news from the same source I get all my other news.

I will prolly spend more time this coming year settling on a 2ndary source for sports news from sources similar to sleeper app but it would be so nice if the Lemmy sporting communities blew up so I could keep everything aggregated to one source.

    Geez, for someone complaining about how dumb sport fans are, this sure is some fucking atrociously bad-quality writing.

    I’ve*. misbehaved*. racism, nationalism, and* (though the Oxford comma is optional). millionaires* (note: this is both correcting the spelling and the Random capital letter).

        Oof, the guy complaining about how dumb sport fans are can’t figure out basic very obvious subtext.

          What is the subtext? That spelling equals intelligence?

          You were one of those “gifted kids” that can barely function as an adult now, don’t you?

          We can speak in my mother tongue if you’re interested in perfect grammar, will that help your simple American mind? It seems that you understand the main point of what i said, despite the spelling errors, but clearly cannot think of anything worthy to say about it, so you try to make noise to hide your inability to think.

          If you could formulate some response that is relevant to the content of my message, I’d be happy to continue this discussion. If you want to talk about my writing we can do it offline.
