Based for calling the dibs first for the main name as football and not soccer

Ah good to see my favorite sub in here already. The only thing I miss already is the team flair

[–] MushroomMan89@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have no idea how to make those on here!

[–] pleasemakesense@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

You still here mate?

[–] pleasemakesense@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Very nice, hope this takes off, my favorite subreddit was r/soccer hopefully PSGacademy migrates too so we can have some highlights 😭

[–] ExistingLaw@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

🤣🤣🤣. 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?

[–] fatal@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

Would be fun, I'm just trying this place out to be honest and noticed there wasn't a community for football! Who's your team?

[–] pleasemakesense@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm kind of a Sunderland fan (not from the UK, but liked them the most when I started following English football), mostly follow the Swedish national team otherwise 😊

[–] MushroomMan89@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My cousin is a Sunderland fan, tough break in the playoffs. Also I love Zlatan, he will be missed.

[–] pleasemakesense@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, sad with the injury keeping him from coming back full strength 🫤. Happy I grew up with a Swede at the absolute top of football tho!

If we can get match threads and goals in here then that's 80% of my reddit usage.

[–] z2k_@lemmy.nz 2 points 1 year ago

Yup, same here. Also love how we get a second chance to make things right and use /c/football and not /r/soccer

[–] wipeitonthedog@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

This sub(or whatever it is called in Lemmy) already has more engagement than I expected. We can make this happen!

[–] ArianaGrande@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Same. Fuckin get PSGAcademy in here asap!

[–] hairwire@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

So we're calling it Football now? :)

Hello!

[–] erik1984@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks for creating this! Hardly ever posted on /r/soccer but visited a lot

[–] jack@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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!

Hello, and welcome!

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks mate, especially for claiming the proper name for the place!

[–] carsausage@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Guess you could say you'll never walk alone

[–] MushroomMan89@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Boo! Boo this man!
