Should we create a community for Euro 2024? (reddthat.com)

For context, my knowledge of current football is almost non existent.

Yearly football doesn't appeal a lot to me, but what I like about the Euro or the World Cup is seeing a large number of countries represented, and the popular enthusiasm during the matches.

I have fond memories of watching matches on a giant screen or at a friend's house, and no matter what the outcome, it's generally a great time.

So two questions:

would you guys be interested in a !euro2024@instance community? It would be mainly for match feeds and sharing other news.
Would anyone be interested in a prediction contest? You don't have to know a thing about it, it's usually the people who know the least who win.

I think there is no need for a new community or instance for it, this is a small community anyway, let it grow, Euros are good for that.

Tbh, I think you could just use this community for that. There's really no other European football going on at the same time as the Euros. Creating a new community won't have many members (from the already small pool available). It's not like Euros is off-topic for this community.

Like others, I'd keep it on this community, but it would be fun to have a prediction contest as well as match threads and general discussion.

Not sure if it's possible to have some sort of flair system to help identify Euro24 posts and/or user affiliation. I asssume not, as not seen flairs on Lemmy, but you never know.

I may not know a lot about current football, but I'm still very knowledgeable about players from 20 years ago, thank you FIFA 2003

I think it's unnecessary. Everything can just happen in this community imho.

Certainly looking forward to the tournament though.

I don't mind a community for it, but not on a new instance. If it could give https://soccer.forum get the exposure it needs, that would be epic.

Is the bridge getting posts still active? @[email protected], are you still planning to keep all of those topic-based instances active?

If you end up making one, I would not make it an year specific, so that it can be used again next time.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Good point, but based on the feedback we'll probably just have this happening here

I'm the same really I used to follow Newcastle but lost interest when they got relegated. I do try to watch the big events though the only one I couldn't was the African World Cup were it was constant vuvuzella noise or whatever the heck their called.
