A lot of people (like myself) need to step out of their comfort zones if we want Lemmy to get more conversations going. Yesterday I made a game thread in the community for my favourite NFL team; I was the only one who commented. But I’m going to try and make one for the game next week.
I'll join you during regular season.
Well done, what is the community? !nfl@lemmy.world ?
Thanks. It’s a smaller instance for the Steelers, !Steelers@lemmy.world
Ah no wonder you had no discussion
Zing
I see. If I may, you may want to comment on a larger community, as a way to get more people reacting.
I used to post to !fantasy@sffa.community , but now I do it in !fiction@literature.cafe because it will have a larger audience.
Lemmy is still a small population, so you might to go to the larger common denominator
Thanks for the advice, there’s definitely a lot more people on the NFL community but the Steelers are generally not viewed well by the NFL fans at large haha.
I ended up subscribing to the Athletic since they have a discuss section. Any sports threads on lemmy are small af rn unfortunately
Not only are they small, they keep appearing in feeds and people downvote them because they don't want to see sporting content instead of just blocking the community.
