That has been exactly my reasoning when I created the topic specific instances, and I have been trying to convince @[email protected] to get out of LW and into [email protected]

Regarding a "general" sports instance, I have setup https://athletic.center/ some long ago, but never got to create communities for it. I was thinking of using it for less sports that are less "professional" and more suitable for hobby practitioners (e.g, sailing, skiing, diving, swimming, CrossFit, etc) the main reason, to be totally honest, is that sport.* are quite expensive.

For people curious, we had a long discussion last week: https://feddit.org/post/2471872/1817865

In summary

I'm still not convinced on rglullis' business model, relying on 30$ yearly subscription to keep running the instances (I'm afraid that after a while, he'll get tired of trying and then will have to shut down all the instances due to costs)
I'm not a moderator of [email protected] , so it's not even my community

They need $300000 - $450000 a year to live in minimal comfort? Sounds real modest :)
