Is Lemmy your first time on the Fediverse? (lemmy.ml)

This question is especially for people who have joined in the last week. Have you used other fediverse platforms or is this your first time really using one? What do you think of it so far? Are you aware that you can comment on Lemmy posts with a Mastodon account?

Tried Mastodon after Twitter fiasco, seemed like an okay experience, but in the end, it lacked what's most important about any such site: the people. A lot of people I followed on Twitter just didn't make the transition (some did), so after a while of not really seeing content I was used to see, I drifted away. To be honest, I can imagine Lemmy could follow the same pattern (for me, personally, not in general). Even though it's off to a good start after I already found /r/patientgamers alternative here. Now I would love some equivalent of /r/soccer and I think I could make Lemmy my new home.

There are currently a few communities about football (soccer)

Try to search in the community section using "All instances"

If you can't find them, comment below and I'll gather links to the ones I can see

Thanks a lot, you're too kind!

I've not been lazy and been looking myself. For anyone interested, this one seems to be the most active. If anyone finds a better one, let me know. Or lemmy know? What's the pun code around these parts...?

Thanks for this - there's at least one more, but I can't recall the URL.

EDIT: https://lemmy.world/c/football

Cheers, that one looks promising as well! Will keep a tab on more now, let's see which picks up pace.

No worries :-)
