Hi there,

After @FlayOtters@lemmy.world was able to get in contact with @MushroomMan89@lemmy.world, I volunteered to help moderate this community. I would like to thank both of them for doing the legwork of creating this community/and doing work to keep it running!

I have been a lifelong football/soccer fan and am happy to help keep this community on track and discussing the sport we all love.

If you see something missing on the sidebar (or anywhere else), please let me know!

With that out of the way, does anyone have any photoshop/editing skills? It would be nice to create a banner for this community but that is not something I am excel in so happy to take contributions!

    I guess a consensus hasn’t been firmly established on memes but I personally wouldn’t mind restricting them on this sub, creating a separate Soccer Shitpost sub and linking that in the sidebar.

      That’s a fair suggestion. Probably should open it up to the wider community…or maybe just memes/shitposts only on one day a week etc

        I prefer just having each thing in its own place and wholly separate, too be honest. Maybe that’s my autism speaking but once a week would be too much for me still. I did enjoy the no holes barred shitpost-a-thon once a year or whatever on r/Soccer over Christmas when the mods had a day off. That felt like a proper event, but I’d not want it more than once or maybe twice a year on the main sub.

    Nice to see we finally have active moderation! Hoping to see match threads / daily discussions going :) I know Man U have a bot, and we’re working on one ourselves at c/gunners, so that’s worth referencing

    I can probably cobble something together in Photoshop. What sort of thing were you thinking of?

    Edit: I have an idea for a community logo as well, if you guys are interested: a football with the Lemmy icons mouse face on it.

    I tried to make one but it just turned out shit.

    The video bot for goal highlights I mentioned previously seems to be working btw. It copies the post title and url to the video from reddit and posts it here automatically. If it’s ok with you I can start it running 24/7 in the next few day to see how it goes? I can try to adjust it if necessary based on how that goes.

    Hey guys! Super stoked to being making the jump across from the old r/soccer.

    Was wondering if anyone knows how we can search the community for previous posts in the wefwef app?

    Keen to help start some conversations but don’t wanna bog y’all down with reposts.

      It doesn’t seem like WefWef has that functionality but you can limit your search to within communities if searching from the regular Lemmy site in a browser.

    This is awesome. I was just asking about moderation a few days ago. Let us know what the users can do to make it a thriving and welcoming community.

        I have a small hope that I helped this c/ get going by trying to contribute at least every day with a post so people would see that the sub was active xd
