    Cheers. Yes, there aren’t too many functional club communities here. From what I’ve briefly seen, the Nottingham Forest one is active (kudos to them). But I’m not too familiar with any other active ones (though there probably are some others).

    It’s rough to start a new community. You have to reach a critical mass of engaged regular users (I think at least a dozen or so), and have some of them dedicated to posting quality content regularly (credit to Astrealix and a few others here for that).

    Then if the community continues to grow, you have to traverse a while bunch of new migration challenges to balance it community engagement with content quality.

    I hope more club-based communities flourish on Lemmy. Because rivalries make things interesting, and other communities sometimes offer interesting new perspectives.

        I’d say we’re kinda like ouroboros then. I feel like you help create a consistent structure that provides a platform for the community to flourish.
