Beautiful! How old?
Shameless plug for !baseball@fanaticus.social (check out our sidebar for the team-specific communities). We've got the game bots ported over and are working on improving them and adding new features.
I agree with !matt@lemmy.world though, the Venn diagram of sports fans and tech-savvy lemmy pioneers is pretty small. You can help by posting and commenting to attract more users. More content == more users (eventually).
Oh. Good question. I don't think so. Which one would you like me to create? Wrestling? Can I make you a mod?
We've got game day threads at fanaticus! I forked the popular bot from reddit and made it compatible with lemmy.

Come on over! Everyone's free to start their own community!
I'm pretty sure you can create your own bootstrap theme. If someone makes an old.reddit theme for Lemmy I'll add it to my instance.
PSA: you can choose your default theme in your profile settings. I'm pretty sure the themes available are determined by your home instance's options
When you say "go down" do you mean what happens if an instance shuts down its servers for good? I think the answer to that is not a technical one. If a sever is owned by an organization (not-for-profit) and it pays it's cloud provider bills, it'll stay up forever.
If you mean what happens if there's a technical issue and the server data is lost, that's a different and solved issue. Create database backups. Easy peasy.
I agree with most of the other posters, I'm done with reddit. I want the community but I don't want the corporation. It's not that I find admins who run lemmy instances more trustworthy by default, but the decentralized nature make me think it can be more resilient and altogether a better experience.
Boy do I wish we had RIF for lemmy though 😞
IMO, I'm not convinced that your proposed algorithm addresses the discoverability issue and we may need a broader set of functionality to make communities (and posts in those communities) more discoverable. Additionally, consider that you're idea for this algorithm is wrong, and someone comes up with a better (more performant and/or effective) one or one with a completely different set of goals in mind. What would we do then?
I wonder if there is a need to bake this functionality directly into the source code for the lemmy-ui or lemmy backend. Perhaps a better approach would be to allow instances to implement their own sorting algorithms and the lemmy-ui/backend just add the API necessary to do so.
The $360M Man forgot that the season continues past 162 if your team keeps winning. Tough to win when you have a 6'7" hole in the 3-hole of your lineup.
Boone lost Game 1, then conceded the rest by staying with a broken lineup. He needs to go. If you can't have a hard conversation with your highest paid player when he's not performing, you shouldn't be managing a major league team.
Congrats Dodgers fans. I hope Ohtani heals up and you get to see him win a Cy Young next year.
