r/soccer refugee reporting! Hello y'all. :)
Alright mate. Aussie?
From India!
If we can get match threads and goals in here then that's 80% of my reddit usage.
This sub(or whatever it is called in Lemmy) already has more engagement than I expected. We can make this happen!
Ah good to see my favorite sub in here already. The only thing I miss already is the team flair
I have no idea how to make those on here!
Think it's not possible to make those at the moment :(
They aren't implemented in Lemmy yet.
Thanks mate, especially for claiming the proper name for the place!
No dramas, I figure there will be an NFL and a College Football one sprout up in time
hiii!
Hello, and welcome!
Hi all!
Alright mate
Proud to be the first Scottish fan on this sub!
My team's Dunfermline Athletic, recently promoted to the second tier in Scotland and looking forward to the new season already.
EDIT - sorry, "community", not "sub"! I suspect that's not the last time I'll make that mistake.
Congrats! I don't know if there's such a thing as flairs on here yet but once those come along I'll see what we can do about it.
Are you from Dunfermline?
I am, but I live in Edinburgh now. What's your team?
My dad's a Man United fan so that's a cross I bear. He took me to see Peterborough all the time growing up though, so I watch them when I can.
Nice! More fun being a fan of a smaller side I think - less glory, but it means more when it happens.
Yes, I went with my dad, brother in law and has brother to Wembley to watch The Posh win the Johnstone's Paint Trophy which was awesome!
Magic! :-)
Very nice, hope this takes off, my favorite subreddit was r/soccer hopefully PSGacademy migrates too so we can have some highlights 😭
🤣🤣🤣. Entice them with karma and awards.
We could make a bot to scrape r/soccer and duplicate posts here, or use the free API, though im not 100% sure as I obv dont want to infringe on the rules in here. Happy to do so as a fuck you to reddit though.
Yeah, I've been reposting some things I found on r/soccer but don't know if we want to replicate the whole frontpage, maybe do highlights and game threads first and foremost?
IMO, I think we get the most initial traction from content. Specifically, highlights and news. Once people realize there are other good social media aggregators, the match threads and etc will come on their own
So we're calling it Football now? :)
Hello!
Guess you could say you'll never walk alone
Hello everyone, fellow r/soccer refugee and MUFC fan from the states
Look forward to the banter this season!!
Greetings from The Netherlands!
Thanks for setting this up! Can't beat a bit of football chat and with it being silly season, I'm sure there's plenty to be had!
