Sorry if this has been discussed here before, I‘m a new reddit refugee and I just stumbled over this community, awesome that this place already exists again! I always enjoyed the discussion threads on the subreddit throughout a race weekend, so I was wondering if something similar will be done here? On the other hand, this community is still very small, so it may be a little overkill I guess. Looking forward to following my first GP through Lemmy either way - I‘ll see you all on Friday

    I’m trying to figure out if this is now the major hub for F1 fans or if Discord OS winning—any numbers from either? I certainly prefer it here!

      No discord please. It was ok for playing games but any kind of discussion is better to be asynchronous like on a forum

      I tried out the discord and just found it wasn’t nearly as good for having a forum style discussion. It was basically a big group chat with everyone having their own conversations over each other without a real way of organizing them. I’m hoping this community here can be the new hub!

        Yeah, I really hope this becomes the place. Anything we can do to encourage the Discord group to migrate here or to get r/Formula1 to update their blackout message?

          We can probably share this community link in the off-topic channel on the discord. Not sure about the blackout message though (doesn’t actually even show on most mobile 3rd party apps like Apollo). I’m not certain where the Reddit F1 mods will fall in wanting to pull people out of the subreddit definitively.

          Either way I agree, hoping we can make this a lively enough place.

            They don’t have anywhere else to go. Discord isn’t the right tool. It’s flexible but nothing like Lemmy or Reddit.

            Surely they will start to flock. We want big subs to start migration to keep the movement going.
