Not sure if I’m doing this correctly, but I just created an account earlier today moving away from Reddit and onto Lemmy. The Reddit baseball community was one of the best places on the site full of interesting discussion, a bunch of dumb jokes, and a generally happy userbase that doesn’t take the game too seriously (salty people that can’t handle a loss are a big problem with a lot of the other online forums discussing baseball). With RIF’s impending shutdown, I’m interested in a non-Reddit alternative. Hopefully, Lemmy is it? Are there any other baseball fans on this site yet? I searched “baseball” and found this empty community (kind of like a subreddit?), but I have no idea if this is the “real” baseball group or not.
There’s also a Major League Baseball su- I mean community @lemmy.ml that currently has more subscribers, but lemmy.ml seems to be having problems today (because of all the new traffic, presumably). I subscribed here, too.
still don’t know if it’s good or bad having the same topic split across multiple hosts. totally new paradigm
