I often browse /all, come across a post that looks interesting but I have no clue what’s it about, so I check the sidebar - and all I find is “An unofficial Lemmy community for X”, " A place to discuss everything about X", or the best kind, “A continuation of r/X from Reddit”.
Can’t people write just some basics? What is that thing, a TV show, a music band, a sports team, a tabletop game? Sometimes I really can’t tell even after looking at a few posts.
Your community may be of interest to someone who stumbles upon it, not only to diehard fans.
I know sometimes that’s the joke, but most times it would be simple to just use a few words. “Discuss X, a Zimbabwean spy-thriller public theatre show.” There we go, now everyone knows what it is.
I’m doing my best! This is my first time modding, and I’m not sure how to run a good community. Feel free to stop by any of my communities and suggest better sidebar content and I promise I’ll update it.
I wouldn’t know what “OL Reign” is, maybe you could add what sport that is. Altho I guess “FC” kinda gives it away.
But sports team is something I have no interest in so I’m adding these to my huuuuuuge block list of everything sports-related. Don’t take it personally :p
Btw I’m also trying to get people to use the fanaticus.social instance that’s apparently dedicated to sports. Or the country instances.
