I just joined Lemmy / Beehaw coming from Reddit Is Fun after seeing 3rd party apps were shutting down due to the new API cost. I never posted on reddit, was just a lurker of r/nfl, but wanted to contribute this time around and say hi.
I’m a big NFL football fan and would love to see this movement take off. What’s your favorite sports? What’s going on in the leagues your following?
Sports/Leagues I’m hoping will get a following here: NBA, NFL (although been paying less attention to that) F1, soccer (particularly EFL, I’ll be following wrexham in league 2), NWSL & WNBA
Yeah soccer would be great if it gained some traction. Haven’t found any community that seem dedicated to it but would really like if there would be game threads and such
I’m not much of a sports watcher but enjoy watching volleyball games a lot.
Migrating from RiF as well. Sad times. As bloated and poorly focused as r/nba was, it’s still hard to beat for breaking news.
I mainly follow the NBA, casual NFL fan. Hoping the Finals is as good as it feels like it should be.
Happy to have found a sports landing spot!
Yeah, having started using mastodon, while there was some action on the NBA hashtags it was nothing compared to r/NBA
I went ahead and started a NBA community. I don’t have the expertise to implement everything that r/NBA offers, but it’s at least a landing spot for people seeking out an alternative to r/NBA.
Baseball is one of my two true loves in the world. It’s the best time of year. The games, deep dives into stats and analytics, watching highlights, and the general weirdness that’s so common in the game makes for entertainment that really engages my adhd brain.
Side note, one really neat thing is this YouTube channel that has old radio broadcasts of games as far back as the 1930s. You can listen to a game that Babe Ruth played in. It’s great.
