Hello, this might break the instances rules for self-promotion but I hope they forgive the plug in the name of spreading the load off the default lemmy.ml instance.

I started an instance at fanaticus.social specifically to talk about sports – no politics allowed! I also created a sister community to this instance’s !baseball@fanaticus.social as well as clones of the subreddits for all 30 major league teams.

I know the main default lemmy.ml and beehaw.org have experienced some load issues recently so I think it’s prudent to spread the love. Fanaticus is dedicated to all sports-related content, not just baseball, but I’m starting there because that’s my passion! See ya there!

    Fantastic work man. There has been so much going on here these past couple weeks that I’m just now getting around to finding a baseball community. First I’m hearing about Fanaticus as well, for a while I thought I was the only sports fan here 😅

    I saw the article about Elly de la Cruz hitting for the cycle and was kinda scared to look on Lemmy because I was like damn I’m gonna have to do all this work setting up a baseball community or stimulating conversation in one. Imagine how happy I was to find you got here way before me and already made great progress.

    FYI these also exist. We definitely need to consolidate in one location for at least a few months until activity picks up, but you can figure out the details of making that happen.

      Thank you! Yeah I’d say my favorite communities on Reddit were r/baseball and the related team ones so when I saw they didn’t exist I created them and got to work on the game bot.

      We obviously still need the content and the users to bring back the same feel as those Reddit communities but I hope by making the space I can sort of lower the barrier of entry to those who was to move in. That being said, let me know if you’re interested in modding a community!

      RE: consolidating the other communities. There’s nothing I can really do about that. I know it may not seem like it but it’s actually a feature of the fediverse. The best I can do is provide the tools and content in my instance’s communities and hope the people follow!
