https://lemmy.ca/c/hockey seems to be where the /r/hockey crowd is heading (along with https://discord.com/invite/reddithockey but I hate Discord’s interface and would never recommend it for any text discussion). I didn’t see them when I first started this community, but they have gained a lot of steam the past few days. That’s where the action is.

For myself, I only created this community because I didn’t see any other hockey community. I have no desire to moderate a community. I’ve done that before at a much larger hockey forum, and volunteer moderation a thankless (and kinda shitty) job that ultimately drove me off the platform. I want discussion forums to be a fun place for me, not a second job. Therefore I’m going to lock this community unless someone really wants to take it over. DM me if so.

Lastly, I am reassessing my entire involvement with Lemmy as a platform based on things I have learned about the dev team. I kind of don’t want to promote Lemmy if it leads to donations to this crew. It may be that I land on Kbin, or maybe just stick to Mastodon. I only know I won’t be going back to Reddit.

See you around the Fediverse!
