I'm genuinely so excited to see some of the more focussed communities blossom on this platform as they have on Reddit over the years. Which are your favourites and which do you think could succeed here?

SPORTS! The sports subreddits for specific leagues or teams were some of my most visited. I always hated r/NFL though because the mods only really allowed twitter links rather than legit discussion. I'm going to try and be as active as I can in the NFL and NBA communities here, and I might open some for my favorite teams.

This is actually a great opportunity to organically develop communities like r/NBAdiscussion but for other leagues. I always found reddit to be lacking a real football discussion subreddit, and r/NFL had such strict rules you couldn't even talk about relevant topics, such as EA and the NFL exclusive license (any Madden-related post would be auto-removed and told to post on r/Madden), and you also couldn't advertise an NFL discussion based sub anywhere either.

There's got to be an overlap between Lemmy users and sports fans! I can't be the only tech nerd who is interested in the fediverse and also loves American sports!

Agreed. For me it’s motorsports. There’s an existing F1 community but it’s not very active. I’m hopeful that it’ll grow and we’ll see other communities form around it for other sports.

I made a motorsport community yesterday link . it's very empty at the moment but hopefully it'll grow with time.
