I’m glad, community blocking is super underpowered due to the fragmentation (I was endlessly blocking sports stuff back on Kbin). I don’t want to do that again (though instance blocking may be more effective here, assuming it isn’t just for hosted media like Kbin’s instance blocking).
EDIT: Also to be clear, the big issue before was each sports team being a community
Well Lemmy is one thing, but even on mastodon there’s hardly any sports talk besides bots which just repost stuff from Twitter feeds. If I want to participate in a “game discussion thread”, I pretty much have to go to shitter or reddit.
And this is true for most sports leagues except for NFL at times and maybeeeee F1.
Don’t get me wrong I love the fediverse and all it’s people who know how to install Linux. But there just ain’t that many people who know how to install Linux AND sports stuffs.
Edit: OH but you said KBIN 👀. Maybe there’s a chance my people still might be out here

Kbin.social (what I was talking about) seems permanently 50x (it seems now even CSS is broken).
I think most of what I was seeing was actually from a sports-dedicated instance, fanaticus.social, so that might be where you want to go (people are posting, not sure if it’s lively enough for discussion though). I’m not sure why it doesn’t show up here, maybe it’s better federated with Mbin (or other Kbin instances)?
