Football (Soccer fútbol fußball 足球 )

Personally, I'd like to keep the memes or shitposting kinda contained. Maybe a daily or weekly meme post. I really like how things are right now with the on-topic posts and discussions.

Might also need a bit of active moderation to remove duplicates posts and enforce some civility, though right now those aren't problems.

Daily discussion threads would be a good way to keep people engaged.

For the moderator situation, you can probably contact a site admin and bring it to their attention. They should be able to add extra mods (I know this because this situation came up for a community I created right before I went on vacation).

Goal highlights were always an important part of r/soccer. Having them posted within seconds of a goal being scored was great and one of the major reasons to sub.

Figuring out how to get that on here seems like potentially an important thing to discuss? I doubt anyone is going to be copying every single video link from reddit to here on a Saturday afternoon. Don't know if it's possible to find a way to automatically post them here from r/soccer or if Reddit is the actual source point of those streamable.com and dubz.co videos (or if there is another source where they also get posted instantly).

I was looking a few days ago and apparently you can scrape reddit by flair i.e. just scrape the media posts. Not sure if that has been affected by the API changes though. Unfortunately I'm not technical enough to come up with a python script on my own, nor do I wish to keep my PC running 24/7 to scrape for new media posts on reddit and have them automatically posted here. I could try and learn more if anyone else has the capacity to keep it running.

Due to how haphazard it’s been with community growth, there’s always the possibility that another one will take off if spam or other issues start piling up here.

For now there’s a tiny amount of content at all, let alone spam.

Although I must admit, having the proper “Football” community instead of “Soccer” is nice.

Soccer is so much better. Less populated but it’s like the one on Reddit
