I also enjoy the team propaganda. They mentioned they are running it again this year, so we'll see both shows!

I'm going to build my own Reddit, with blackjack and hookers!

YSK how to find the proper air pressure for your tires in c/youshouldknow@lemmy.world
[–] platefork@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Depends on the car and spare. On my car the spare is a much more thin tire compared to my regular ones. It's meant to act as a short-term fix to get a proper tire back on. This type of spare isn't meant to be used long-term.

Since it's a different form than a typical tire, many spares (mine included) are almost double the PSI (~60) than my typical tire.

I'd say just make sure you check on the tire itself! It's definitely likely it's different from the main tires for many makes and models.

Is anyone interested in helping me create a Lemmy server focused on sports? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Ah, very cool! I haven't found a great way to discover new servers, so I hadn't heard of this before.

This is very similar to what I was picturing - a server which only allows sports-related communities to be made.

Thanks for sharing, I'm going to start using the communities from that server and promoting it around where I can.

Is anyone interested in helping me create a Lemmy server focused on sports? (lemmy.world)
 

We're at a great nexus for Lemmy here, with so many users (including me) giving up Reddit for good and moving to the federated universe.

One thing I loved and will miss about Reddit are the sports-related subs I had -- large league subs (like NBA and NFL) and smaller team subs.

There are efforts to organize new communities across Lemmy servers (including some on lemmy.world), but I see a great opportunity to start a new server focused on sports and team subs.

Why not just make these communities on an existing server?

My thoughts are -- right now there are various team and sports subs across many servers. The natural expectation is eventually one of these team or sports subs will become the main community people will subscribe to. Having a sports-specific server will expedite this process, and will give sports fans a one-stop shop for where to go to subscribe.

My goal would be a server instance people would know is the 'source' for the largest sports communities.

Tell me I'm dumb, or provide me constructive feedback, or let's talk more about setting up a server!

Cheers
