    • Running the topic based instances are not the main costs. Even if I went to shut down Communick (I won’t, because believe it or not it’s getting close to break even) the last thing I would let go are the domains, which can/could be easily transferred to some organization.

    • I can make you moderator of the communities, so it would be one more reason to move there?

      I already mod too many communities, there was a call last week that I declined.

      At the moment the priority is to grow the community enough that’s not only me posting.

      Once we’ll get there, we can discuss where to bring the community.

        I’d be posting as well, and if you see the NFL communities, they are also getting some momentum from Mastodon users.

                I am not arguing that. I am just saying that this is a very lame reason to avoid using it.

                If I had found any “football” or “footy” domain that costs less than an used car, I would have used it. But soccer was cheaper, and football@soccer is redundant and kind of senseless.

                  To be fair, it kind of irritates me now to have to go to /r/soccer on Reddit

                  That might be one way to get people there to give Lemmy a try “it’s finally the proper name of the game”

                    Nonsense. There is also /r/football, which is quite large and to me has more interesting discussion than /r/soccer and less obnoxious mods, but /r/soccer still maintains its dominance.

                    It’s not the name that matters. It’s the content and the match threads.
