Fantastic work man. There has been so much going on here these past couple weeks that I'm just now getting around to finding a baseball community. First I'm hearing about Fanaticus as well, for a while I thought I was the only sports fan here ๐
I saw the article about Elly de la Cruz hitting for the cycle and was kinda scared to look on Lemmy because I was like damn I'm gonna have to do all this work setting up a baseball community or stimulating conversation in one. Imagine how happy I was to find you got here way before me and already made great progress.
FYI these also exist. We definitely need to consolidate in one location for at least a few months until activity picks up, but you can figure out the details of making that happen.

Thank you! Yeah I'd say my favorite communities on Reddit were r/baseball and the related team ones so when I saw they didn't exist I created them and got to work on the game bot.
We obviously still need the content and the users to bring back the same feel as those Reddit communities but I hope by making the space I can sort of lower the barrier of entry to those who was to move in. That being said, let me know if you're interested in modding a community!
RE: consolidating the other communities. There's nothing I can really do about that. I know it may not seem like it but it's actually a feature of the fediverse. The best I can do is provide the tools and content in my instance's communities and hope the people follow!
Well, I would at least consider posting to the other communities or messaging the mods. Can't hurt to ask.
Good thinking. I sent them all a message.
