A place for Sounders fans in the Fediverse. Discussion, analysis, match threads, and more.

Looking for mods, banner images, and new ideas!

Who are the Sounders

Seattle's MLS team, born in 1974 and in MLS since 2009
Winners of the 2022 CONCACAF Champions League, 2016 and 2019 MLS Cups, 2014 MLS Supporters Shield, and 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2014 US Open Cups

Community Guidelines

These are some proposed guidelines to get us started, but open to discussion!

Hot takes and strong opinions go hand in hand with fandom, especially with a supporter community as passionate as the Sounders'. Still: keep it supportive! Remember that players are people and our boys bleed blue and green, even on an off day. Overwhelming negativity is not an attractive look.
Abusive language directed towards anyone - including opposing teams - is not acceptable. Similarly, racist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, or other hateful language or content will not be tolerated.
This community is meant for Sounders-related discussions and content. We welcome fans of all teams to share in these discussions. Trolling or brigading by opposition fan groups, however, will be removed. Similarly, encouraging the trolling or brigading of other communities is not acceptable.
While most content will be Sounders-focused, we welcome posts & discussion about any Seattle- or Washington-based soccer teams (e.g. OL Reign, Defiance, Ballard FC)

Created this community after seeing this thread over at [email protected].

I am entirely new to the fediverse and not experienced at modding anything, so would be very grateful for mod volunteers, suggestions on community guidelines, alternative media to use for the site, sidebar content, or whatever!

I tossed up a banner image using a photo that I took from the CCL championship celebration / trophy lift, but any alternative free to use, higher quality image would be great.

Here's hoping this is off to a good start!

First off, thank you for creating this!

I can’t volunteer as mod but one request: match threads! They gather a lot on user engagement and are fun for those of us stuck at home!

Hey, somebody else is here! I will definitely try to get the match threads going, starting tomorrow. If one is missing, though, feel free to start one.

There are some rudimentary bots being put together to facilitate auto-posting of match threads in some of the other communities along with score updates, lineups, etc. If those look like they're going to work and I or someone else is able to figure out how to run them, perhaps we could set that up too.

Haha it’s like wandering around an empty amusement park. I’ll try to attract people over here from Reddit and SounderAtHeart.

I expect things to pick up somewhat over time and as sync and boost for Lemmy launch. We'll see, though!
