The migration of large communities from Reddit to Lemmy is like a world-renowned band performing an acoustic set in a library for 50 people.

The fanbase is still large, but the Lemmy community hasn't quite caught up yet, and now there is a transitional period where the audience is smaller.

I'm just over here waiting on more Braves fans to show up from /r/Braves. That's where I was the most active.

Sports will likely be the slowest migration.

Sports fans be like: If no NFL, Doritos, Mountain Dew, or gamble, me no want. Me sit watch game and eat Lay chip on couch. Reddit for smart people like me. Other sites no have football.

grunt, grunt, grunt!

Find me in Man Cave where game on and beer ice cold. If not football in USA motherland it pussy sport for girls.

The trouble is the fediverse means there can be multiple. I’m subscribed to two Red Sox groups but there’s only a couple dozen people in each one so there’s no real place for GDTs yet.

As more people join one will get selected. There was r/cars and r/autos for a long time. R/cars won out in the end.

An "r/autos" was always doomed to lose to an "r/cars". It's just how English works and what people end up searching for.

Thankfully there's only one for the Braves. It's just not real active yet.
