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.
I’m lookin for something similar and spotted this post on the “All” stream
subscribed!
hopefully we can make this a new home - there will definitely be some growing pains, for example:
It’s going to be tough to be mean to Yankees fans without the flair.
hope we can get gamethreads going at some point in the future. the comments refreshing live by default is super cool
Thanks for kicking this off! I’d much rather have the primary baseball community on lemmy.world. Obviously no auto-game day threads yet (the tools don’t exist), but things can be done manually. Let me know if you need an assist.
Saw your DMs, I’m sure you’ll see my replies when you get on today, but I figured out how to appoint you as a mod here, you should be all set.
Awesome, thank you @[email protected] !
Need to get u/Handlit over here!
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
