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?
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
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 😊

Guess you could say you’ll never walk alone
Boo! Boo this man!
If we can get match threads and goals in here then that’s 80% of my reddit usage.
This sub(or whatever it is called in Lemmy) already has more engagement than I expected. We can make this happen!
Yup, same here. Also love how we get a second chance to make things right and use /c/football and not /r/soccer
Same. Fuckin get PSGAcademy in here asap!
So glad we got the name football! Hartlepool/Sunderland fan checking in hopefully this community stays active, r/soccer was my fave sub
I’ve created https://lemmy.world/c/sscnapoli if anyone is interested
Thanks for creating this! Hardly ever posted on /r/soccer but visited a lot
Proud to be the first Scottish fan on this sub!
My team’s Dunfermline Athletic, recently promoted to the second tier in Scotland and looking forward to the new season already.
EDIT - sorry, “community”, not “sub”! I suspect that’s not the last time I’ll make that mistake.
Congrats! I don’t know if there’s such a thing as flairs on here yet but once those come along I’ll see what we can do about it.
Are you from Dunfermline?
Flairs would be cool. Seeing all the different team and country FA crests (if that’s the right term) was one of my favorite aspects of /r/soccer
Hi all!
Alright mate
Thanks mate, especially for claiming the proper name for the place!
hiii!
Hello, and welcome!
Very nice, hope this takes off, my favorite subreddit was r/soccer hopefully PSGacademy migrates too so we can have some highlights 😭

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?

My cousin is a Sunderland fan, tough break in the playoffs. Also I love Zlatan, he will be missed.
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!
Based for calling the dibs first for the main name as football and not soccer
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!
So we’re calling it Football now? :)
Hello!
Ah good to see my favorite sub in here already. The only thing I miss already is the team flair
I have no idea how to make those on here!
You still here mate?
