slightly niche

Sports is like the most mainstream of interests, and lemmy still doesn't have a critical mass of sports discussion in general, much less specific sports/leagues, specific teams, specific games/matches, or specific players.

So I keep my reddit sports account.

I also keep an account for my local city subreddit, and one for my career field, because Lemmy doesn't have those either.

    I'm the main poster on !football@sopuli.xyz. Most popular post on the planet.

    I guess people on Lemmy just don't like sports.

    Hell even !music@lemmy.world (as far as I can tell, the biggest one on the platform) only has like 10k subs, like a dozen posts today, and basically all of the posts were people just advertising music. Zero discussion.

    Even for things i would think are big, the communities here are still vanishingly small. I joined reddit in like 2014 and even back then it was more popular than Lemmy is now

    I see good discussions on

    Not really into music myself, I guess the issue might be that it's too generic? Even on Reddit I don't think /r/music was that busy, too many different genres
