The NFL season is about to start and it would be nice to have as many people as possible participating on the communities from https://nfl.community/. Being a topic-specific instance with closed registrations, I'm aware that it is harder to be discovered, so I'm writing here with the intent of both promoting a bit and to find enthusiasts joining in.

If you'd like to help the instance and the team communities grow, there are two ways to help:

Join https://fediverser.network/, find the Lemmy community you want to help and apply to become a Community Ambassador. Community Ambassadors can add different sources of content and also send invites to "good" reddit users to migrate.
Become a moderator of your team community. The communities are still all low in traffic, so I guess the hardest part for the moderators will be in finding and posting the type of content that you'd like to see in the community, in order to set out its tone.

As always, if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!

latteart does not have an topic-specific instance that I would consider a better home. rivian does.

Yet, now, it has none.

There is no constancy in how things are applied.

Has 3 recommendations and allows recommending more.

Has 1 and doesn't allow recommending more.

Both are generic topics, but are also broad enough to potentially have topic-based instance. But are treated differently.

I'm starting to come to the conclusion that having a gatekeeper for recommendations is not the right approach. It will always lead to uneven application. Allowing all matching ones eliminates that issue as well as your "top 3 largest instance" concern.

But it's clear that we are in fundamental disagreement here. Time will tell if your effort was successful. Good luck.
