The football/soccer sub isn’t niche on Reddit obviously but it is absolutely tiny here (on the plus side, it’s managed to claim its rightful name this time. Suck it, gridiron)

As for my team, Everton, well… Lemmy’s probably not miserable enough for us to be well represented just yet.

The thing I find with discussion on here is that although most threads have way fewer comments and especially top level comments, I’m way more likely to get a response and end up in some kind of discussion than on Reddit where most of the time you just get lost in a sea of comments. Also think comments tend to be more conversational, less memey, less aggressive etc, just generally nicer.

Same, this Connect for Lemmy is decent enough and I find it a lot more user friendly than the web version but I’ll be right on the Boost app when it becomes available
