Gotta be honest, watching the titles of the posts getting deleted made me a bit nostalgic, because it was an almost 5yo account.

However, now that's old news, and my account is totally gone.

I won't miss it really, I like Lemmy a lot more.

I like Lemmy a lot more than reddit but not having the sports communities over here really kills the usefulness for me. My main use on reddit is talking baseball/football/hockey/soccer/basketball and the sports world just isn't over here.

Be the change. Create the community on an instance.

There's communities but just no one active. There's game threads but am I just supposed to sit there posting to myself all game?

Spread the word on Reddit or anywhere else.
It's not like Reddit was the number one place when being created.

Once lemmy may reach a critical enough mass it will attract the less technical and those are usually your sport sfans.

Make your own sports community

The communities are started, just no activity.

Then you have to wait. And advertise your community on social media or something.. you started a community it's not going to open right away. It takes time for people to find it

So pick the community that seems the most active and make activity for the stuff you want to see.

If people are looking for that, they'll gravitate toward the community that's got some activity in it.
