We have dozens of sports communities over at https://fanaticus.social. Whether you are a fan of MLB, NFL, CFB, NBA, etc, we have a sports community for you! I have also been doing my best to crosspost sports news to other sports communities across Lemmy to help everyone find other fans.
We are still a growing instance and are looking forward to discuss sports with everyone. I hope to see you there! And if you’re looking to mod a community let us know!
Yeah I definitely think it could work if it’s done the right way There are some much needed functionalities that Lemmy has yet to offer that will make it easier to stand up instances like this (easier customization, better cross-posting, better admin/mod tools, and clearer documentation). But the idea is great and it could work with some patience and hard work across various different players in the lemmy game.
