Would it make more sense to have a football/soccer instance, like maybe feddit.football? Then take load off the general instance here. Could have all the club communities and ones for world cups etc..
With the way Lemmy functions, having a dedicated football/soccer instance should be the right move.
Keep this one open with a redirected pinned post to the new instance/community and lock it.
Maybe soccer.football is better? Anyone fancy hosting?
This would be the ideal. Star Trek has its own instance, startrek.website, and it's better for it. I'm hoping that more specialised instances attract the more passionate fans for specific interests and the general instances end up more surface/entry level for people curious about whatever subject it might be
I don't know that this community is active enough. Lemmy doesn't even have very many club-specific communities that aren't dead.
I'd be tempted to host it, I already host feddit.uk so I know quite a bit about hosting a decently sized lemmy instance. Not sure if it is big enough for an instance yet but if people want it I'd do it
This is a great idea! Football is so big that it makes sense that it should have it's own instance. And every club can have it's community.
Football maybe big but Lemmy is not big enough to have active users in here, let alone individual clubs or leagues. Too much fragmentation is not good for the current state of Lemmy
Honestly I think that is an excellent idea, and at some point someone (like football365) would probably pay a lot of money to take over it (yaay!). Theres a classic Catch-22 - lemmy doesn't have the critical mass to bother spinning up a dedicated server, but if it's not done now/soon it will be too late. I'd love to help, but don't have time.
That's the beauty of lemmy. Even leagues or clubs could have their own instance.
The most comprehensive sports instance I know of is https://fanaticus.social/
Maybe that’s the best place?
