Hello, this might break the instances rules for self-promotion but I hope they forgive the plug in the name of spreading the load off the default lemmy.ml instance.
I started an instance at fanaticus.social specifically to talk about sports -- no politics allowed! I also created a sister community to this instance's !baseball@fanaticus.social as well as clones of the subreddits for all 30 major league teams.
I know the main default lemmy.ml and beehaw.org have experienced some load issues recently so I think it's prudent to spread the love. Fanaticus is dedicated to all sports-related content, not just baseball, but I'm starting there because that's my passion! See ya there!
