The NFL season is about to start and it would be nice to have as many people as possible participating on the communities from https://nfl.community. Being a topic-specific instance with closed registrations, I’m aware that it is harder to be discovered, so I’m writing here with the intent of both promoting a bit and to find enthusiasts joining in.

If you’d like to help the instance and the team communities grow, there are two ways to help:

  • Join https://fediverser.network, find the Lemmy community you want to help and apply to become a Community Ambassador. Community Ambassadors can add different sources of content and also send invites to “good” reddit users to migrate.

  • Become a moderator of your team community. The communities are still all low in traffic, so I guess the hardest part for the moderators will be in finding and posting the type of content that you’d like to see in the community, in order to set out its tone.

As always, if you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask!

    My concern though is that this will lead to just a bunch of communities created around the top 3 largest instances.

    If I may, lemmy.zip isn’t in the top 3 instances. According to https://lemmy.ca/post/26878531, they barely have 3 communities in the 100 most active communities.

      And this is why I didn’t hesitate to approve some of the recommendations there. Still, “topic-specific instances over generic ones” remains a primary guideline.
