Is missing an active NBA community, which is/was at least half of my reddit traffic along with several other subs I frequented, so I that regard it's a let down.
The interface is already better on jerboa than anything reddit ever made, and I haven't had a ton of issues, just missing the communities.
Yeah, I want to fully commit but without some of the big sport communities it's hard to fully leave Reddit as much as I want to.
When I initially signed up for Reddit 15 years ago it wasn't for sports because everybody had their own team boards but now that Reddit seemed to consume all of that traffic there's not a lot of other great options.
There is one and I'm subbed, if you search communities for nba it's easy to find. Unfortunately the r/NBA community was heavily opposed to blackouts, and I'm skeptical we'll see much migration. It's a very different culture than the other subs I'm in.
I don't follow NBA, but there is !nba@lemmy.world with 300 posts, 1200 comments, and 3200 subscribers. I can see a lot of posts have <20 comments, but it's off-season. And as the mod of !usmlr@lemmy.ml I can say that currently Lemmy's federation is making cross-instance live match threads problematic. So I imagine that by next season enough people will be more actively posting and the federation issues will have improved.
Yea, that's the hope. I'm subscribed, but a lot of the value is knowing I'm catching the latest news. If news broke in the last 5 minutes then it's on r/NBA. If I can't count on that then the value diminishes significantly. Hopefully the community will grow as will the activity.
