It’d be cool if there were game live game threads like they do over on Reddit.

Not a fan of the Senators and don’t follow hockey much, however came across this in my feed since I sort by New and Local by default.
The community looks kinda dead. Lemmy has a disadvantage to Reddit in that the userbase is a lot smaller, so more specific communities such as specific NHL teams need a little more heavy lifting to get them off the ground. It’s a self-perpetuating problem unfortunately. People don’t engage with the community because there’s no activity, but there’s no activity because people don’t engage with the community.
You could post news about the Senators every now and again to show people there are others on Lemmy who are just as interested in the Senators as you are. Heck, depending on if you’re up to it, you might even be able to ask the other mods or an instance admin to be a mod of the community after a bit of posting activity. Just on first glance it looks like the community could attract more users if the sidebar was beefed up a tad.
Thanks! I’ll try to make some noise here and see anyone else notices. It’s reminds me of the old times of the Internet.
Not sure if Lemmy can support diving up into individual teams yet. I’ve tried posting a few times for the Jets, but don’t get much attention. Might be better to centralize in a generic hockey community until we get more users. I do love seeing more hockey posts here on Lemmy though!
Yeah, I did start a game thread here but your strategy might be better. I’m also a new fan to the sport so I can’t add much actual content to my posts lol. Hopefully, if I keep doing it long enough it’ll catch someone’s attention.
Hey, always happy to hear from new fans!
I unfortunately don’t have the ability to watch games live ever since caststreams was shut down. I mostly watch condensed replays on dtmts.com.
