Not enough people for even slightly niche communities. Wanna talk about smash brothers ? 732 people, only 2 posts in the last month.

This is why people still use reddit on the side.

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 [email protected]. Most popular post on the planet.

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

I'll subscribe, since it's about the real kind of football (the one that's played with your feet, and a ball. Not an egg, and your hands)

I've been trying to get into sports. Always enjoyed parricipating sports, never tried watching.
