Maybe you can convince people that run US sports communities on general instances to move to your instance? 😁
I’m sure trying! Content is king though so that’s what we’re focusing on with the game bots.

Hi, I’m an admin at fanaticus.social. Sorry for the inconvenience! Game bots are an important way for us sports fans to interact with one another during games but I understand how annoying they can be if you don’t care about the sport.

In the future, we are planning on adding the game bots for the other major sports as well (they’re not in season now) but hopefully that will be a nice jumping off point for you.
Shameless plug for !baseball@fanaticus.social (check out our sidebar for the team-specific communities). We’ve got the game bots ported over and are working on improving them and adding new features.
I agree with !matt@lemmy.world though, the Venn diagram of sports fans and tech-savvy lemmy pioneers is pretty small. You can help by posting and commenting to attract more users. More content == more users (eventually).
!badminton@fanaticus.social enjoy! Let me know if you’d like to be a mod.
Oh. Good question. I don’t think so. Which one would you like me to create? Wrestling? Can I make you a mod?
We’ve got game day threads at fanaticus! I forked the popular bot from reddit and made it compatible with lemmy.

Come on over! Everyone’s free to start their own community!
🥲
We’ll have the game bot up and running by the time the season rolls around!
