I only joined the main Lemmy instance a couple of days ago, but browing by new, there's a pretty consistent stream of new posts now, even compared to the first day I was on here. I'm excited for this community.
NFL is really the only league that doesn't suffer from the problem of regional sports networks. Hopefully with the recent bankruptcy ruling against Diamond/Bally Sports, the other major sports leagues can move to a direct to consumer model so fans can actually watch their local team without spending $150/month or blackouts.
