Noticed a distinct lack of a community for the Bolts, so I went ahead and created one at tampabaylightning@lemmy.world. It got me thinking about other team communities, so I thought it might be helpful to aggregate them all into one post.
EDIT: I fixed the community links, so you should no longer be booted from your instance when clicking them 😉
List of Team-Specific Communities:
- Anaheim Ducks
- Arizona Coyotes
- Boston Bruins
- Buffalo Sabres
- Calgary Flames
- Carolina Hurricanes
- Chicago Blackhawks
- Colorado Avalanche
- Columbus Blue Jackets
- Dallas Stars
- Detroit Red Wings

If you run or know of any team specific communities, feel free to comment them below and I’ll add them to the list!
I think they’re working on it, but this has to get better for Lemmy to take off. There’s so much confusion while trying to share communities.
Yup, it’ll be a great thing for new folks trying out Lemmy when this gets sorted out.
Yep, I’m hoping that post blackout a lot of the people that started new communities will start advertising their community.
I think one thing that could really help would be “official” browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox that turn lemmy links from a instance specific URL to their instance URL automatically so it “just works”
e.g. your browser sees
https://lemmy.world/c/winnipegjetsand it automatically changes it tohttps://{your-defined-instance-domain}/c/winnipegjets@lemmy.worldUntil then, we need to get EVERYONE using the right syntax for links like OP did on this post with his updates: e.g.
[Winnipeg Jets](/c/winnipegjets@lemmy.world)>> Winnipeg JetsThat style link only works if your instance already has someone subscribed to it. For now, only the search box will cause your instance to learn new communities.
