Could we get the mods from /r/ScottishFootball to give us their blessing for a bot that auto copies posts over here for example?

Wouldn’t get the comments, but it would at least give the place some life for a new spinoff community to build upon.

      Me too - genuinely think I could leave Reddit behind entirely if we could get a decent Scottish Football community going. Sadly I’m entirely the wrong person to lead the charge as I’m just a filthy casual who loves the chat regardless, but there’s gotta be some fitba fans out there in the fediverse somewhere surely…

    I’m also more of a casual lurker but will try and post more to see if we can grow this community. Would love to leave Reddit for good!

      Definitely - as it happens, I’ve got a working third-party app workaround for now, but it feels like I’m crashing a party where I’m not wanted now and I’d rather just leave.

    Re getting a bot, that can be a double edged sword - it’s what already happens on PhotoshopBattles here and the result is that hardly anyone posts, and those who do see their posts disappear swiftly under all the bot posts. As a result this becomes self perpetuating and hardly anyone posts.
