Not one community specifically, but I really wish that communities about sports - specifically American football - were more active. I really miss that from the other place.
American exceptionalism strikes once again.
How? Because somebody likes something? That isnβt American exceptionalism.
I am doing my best to get activity going on the nfl and lacrosse instances.

Keep it up. I don't much care about off-season news or anything, but I'll probably join the discussion when it comes to highlights and game threads. These upcoming seasons for each sport will play a big part in how active the community will be going forward I think. Unfortunately a bunch of traffic was dominated by the presidential election last year so other niche topics should gain more traction this year.
Iβll try to start contributing to the NFL community.
The NBA community (!nba@lemmy.world) is small but decently active. We had live game threads for the playoffs but it was like 5 people commenting lol. It was still fun though, and hopefully it grows more.
That's how we get it started. 5 people active on live game thread leads people to see 'oh, when it's live there is a group hanging out here' next time you'll have 7 then 12 then 30. Keep it up!
That's the one sub I'll still peek in now and then. Especially since my guys won it this year. Lol.
Thunder up!
