Thought this required its own post as we might need to create a new community.
I managed to get in contact with the creator of the community (same username on reddit). I don’t think he’s coming back to lemmy. He’s offered to delete the community if that frees up the name for us to create an identical community on lemmy.world. I don’t know if that’s possible or if the community can be transferred to another user instead.
Staying on lemmy.world seems like a good idea imo as new arrivals will gravitate towards that.
Anyone have any ideas of the best way forward? Anyone fancy being an admin/mod lol?
Edit: He might not be permanently gone. Just coming back every once in a while.
Here’s the conversation if anyone is interested.

This is a great idea! Football is so big that it makes sense that it should have it’s own instance. And every club can have it’s community.
Football maybe big but Lemmy is not big enough to have active users in here, let alone individual clubs or leagues. Too much fragmentation is not good for the current state of Lemmy
