I suspect most people aren’t subbing/following communities on Lemmy. So post the community or topic you want to see pop off. And reader(that’s you) if you are interested in that community click the link and follow it.
👏Let’s 👏 start 👏 coordinating 👏 people.
Not one community specifically, but I really wish that communities about sports - specifically American football - were more active. I really miss that from the other place.
I am doing my best to get activity going on the nfl and lacrosse instances.

I’ll try to start contributing to the NFL community.
Keep it up. I don’t much care about off-season news or anything, but I’ll probably join the discussion when it comes to highlights and game threads. These upcoming seasons for each sport will play a big part in how active the community will be going forward I think. Unfortunately a bunch of traffic was dominated by the presidential election last year so other niche topics should gain more traction this year.
The NBA community (!nba@lemmy.world) is small but decently active. We had live game threads for the playoffs but it was like 5 people commenting lol. It was still fun though, and hopefully it grows more.
That’s how we get it started. 5 people active on live game thread leads people to see ‘oh, when it’s live there is a group hanging out here’ next time you’ll have 7 then 12 then 30. Keep it up!
That’s the one sub I’ll still peek in now and then. Especially since my guys won it this year. Lol.
Thunder up!
American exceptionalism strikes once again.
How? Because somebody likes something? That isn’t American exceptionalism.
I highlighted it because obviously you’re extremely stupid:
How does liking gridiron football equate to believing the US is exemplary or better than other nations? Or maybe you think the definition of American exceptionalism is, “Likes something American”. Calling people dumb because you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about isn’t a good look.
Saying you want sports communities then hyper-focusing on American sports is exceptionalism.
There is a small percentage of the Lemmy population that is American, the great majority is European.
No one here cares for American football or the NFL. So why create a community? Because they think we care. Simple as. It’s believing that Americans are at the centre of the universe once again 🙄.
I assume you aren’t engaging in good faith dialog here, given the immediate reach for disparaging remarks, but on the off chance you are, let me ask you this. If you asked somebody what their favorite whisky was, and they replied “Laphroaig”, would that be a sign of Scottish nationalism or exceptionalism? Or if you asked their favorite cheese, and they gave “Gouda”, a sign of Dutch exceptionalism?
Just because one’s answer to “What community would you like to see more active…” is something that is from the US, this is not American Exceptionalism. The question wasn’t, “What community do you think every Lemmy user should be required to participate in?” Nor was is, “What community is the best and most important on Lemmy?”
Clearly, at least one person here cares about it. Clearly that person isn’t you. Everything you have written here is incorrect, and if you had any shame, you’d be embarrassed to have said it in public.
