I feel like presently the overlap of people who are in the fediverse and into sports is pretty slim :/. I don't have any big ideas, sorry, but I appreciate all the content. Let's make NBA cup predictions. We could do season awards too. <3 and thanks to the mods

Couple thoughts I have:
- I’m definitely open to moving instances so that we can do the high seas links again. There’s also some instances that world isn’t federated with so moving to one that’s a bit more open might gain some more people so think we can gain some visibility here.
- I like the idea for fantasy basketball and would be willing to help organize and post about it since I’m in a couple leagues.
- For the fediverse as a whole think we may need to venture back to Reddit a bit to try to peel off some people there. We need to make sure Lemmy is known as an alternative so people know where to go as Reddit gets worse and worse.
Moving instances could be the first step, then setting some recurring (not automated) post to keep the visitors interested could be fine; I'd also try/ask to stop teams communities until we have established a nice group here, although they don't see to gain much attention
What are the meaningful unfederated communities? I'm mildly out of the loop on federation drama lately. I don't care about arbitrarily changing instances, but I will if there's enough unfederated ones we like that maybe I didn't notice defederated etc.
I’ll have to look again but I know Beehaw isn’t of the top of my head. Switching was more for the high sees part too.
I think you're doing a great job! I don't post enough, but I'll try to do better!
Hey guys, I've been on Lemmy since the APIcalypse and I'm a big Knicks fan, and really sports fan in general. It's a bit of a chicken or the egg problem with the sports communities on Lemmy, because I feel like there are actually more fans on Lemmy than we realize. But when the communities seem dead, people stop using them, and it's a vicious cycle. For some reason I never actually subscribed to this community in the first place, but I'll try to do my part from now on.
First of all I think keeping everything in one community is a must, like people initially went way too fast on trying to create team specific communities before building a generalized NBA community here.
I agree that incorporating the high seas would be a good idea, but it's also really disruptive to try to migrate to another server. Perhaps a workaround would be creating a separate community on a piracy friendly server and linking it from here when necessary.
But really the main thing is pretty simple: we all need to get out of our shells and try to post and comment more often, and hopefully things will build momentum from there.
I think we should post things NBA related that people want to talk about. I'll try and post more content.
i really should interact here more
Yeah I think it's time I start interacting here more.
We just have to be patient and be more active.
I still don't understand why you'd prefer to stick with a community on LW when there is a whole instance at https://nba.space waiting for more participation.
