I’m just glad soccer community exists here! I have been using Reddit to keep updated with soccer news. Now on the lemmy bandwagon, delighted to see you all here
I used to be a lurker so commenting and being this active is already a huge step for me. I have already decided to be more active right now in order to get more traffic and encourage people to join. The more people show up right now, the higher the chances for content and interaction!
/r/soccer could as well be my homepage, so really hope it hits it off here, don't know where else I would get my daily dose of football news, aggregated nicely in one package.
What I could do without though are the endless beaten-to-death jokes and banter that requires no more than 1,5 brain cell.
I don’t mind witty or not so witty one liners or particularly curageous takes, that’s part of the fun and wouldn't be the same without it! I just don’t have to see tsunami of LADS in every single Tottenham-related match thread and stuff like that...
I mean, there is a Football community on lemmy.ml. Which one becomes the default in the future depends on which one is the more active community, and that was how r/soccer came to be the default if I'm correct. I've subbed to !Football as well, so I guess if you want that one to be the main then just try and get everybody onto that one.
I believe it will be a slow start but we are the content creators of this community. As long as keep discussion ongoing, eventually things will start falling into place.
