3 years ago by Mijn_Bergkamp to c/gunners

darkufo 12 points 3 years ago

I'm at the point with transfers that if Edu and Arteta want a player, then that is good enough for me. They have picked out enough talent and made some great signings that I'm happy to just let them do their thing without getting stressed about who/when we should buy.

And anyone who does sign for us, I will cheer and back them 100%.

We've consistently had more hits than misses at this point. Even the misses we might be able to offload and break even. The better the team does, the more it affords us to have a few duds here and there.

Wow we are actually bigger than the soccer/football sub in lemmy. We are indeed gargantuan

Normott 3 points 3 years ago

We are probably the most engaged Reddit fanbase. Other subs have more users but I think we generally tend to have more activity than other subs, so it wouldn't be surprising if we were kicking ass here too

I saw multiple football subs, which one does everyone use?

@joko @raulmedez this is where things get complicated. There are lots of servers running the lemmy software, each of which have their own communities. Someone could setup c/gunners on lemmy.ca just as you folks have setup on lemmy.world.

The kicker is that you can use your lemmy.world account to follow any community on lemmy.ca.

@joko @raulmedez to answer your question, it looks like c/football has the most members on lemmy.world

(edit) I mis-read, it's c/football

Happy to see the community adapting to Lemmy, lets make this community (sub?) thrive during the blackout!

Anyway, Rice? Always rated him.

Rox 10 points 3 years ago

Honestly, I hope it thrives after the blackout. I plan on staying for a while. Reddit just rubbed me the wrong way with all their profit chasing.

Anyway, Rice? Great with some curry.

I have a secret weapon.

If I forget I'll just blame the mods for not automating it...

Also it should probably be at a better time than just 'I'm awake and we don't have one yet

The API changes hit NSFW subs the hardest because third party apps will no longer be able to show NSFW content even if they pay the fees.

Mijn_Bergkamp 2 points 3 years ago

Sorry, real life rather rudely intruded oday and I haven't got a Lemmy app.

It's not as slick as reddit but as I still mainly use old reddit it's not too different.

It really shows that for all Reddit tries to make things look cool and add paid for content, what actually makes it special is the amount of people using it. If everyone from r/gunners was on here there's really no reason not to stay here and let reddit die.

I went to the stadium / armoury yesterday to get the new shirt and decided to get the champions league patch on it to celebrate being back after so long out... terrible choice - the queue for shirt printing was over half an hour, they'll definitely have more staff working it when the season starts, but be prepared to wait if you want it done in person!

Mijn_Bergkamp 5 points 3 years ago

I sort of feel like we're missing the hot takes so... I really don't ahve an issue with chasing Castagne.

He seems solid, the Belgians still play him and literally no one has come out of the Leicester defence with looking good so I'm prepared to say it might not be his fault.

Remember Ramsdale was relegated twice.

I trust in eduteta tbh, they've learned it; plus our last belgian went well and Stuivenberg has coached Castagne also

Airpod albert also coached a certain belgian midfielder we eventually had to loan out though...

Astrealix 4 points 3 years ago

I think Lokonga is still gonna be good, we just improved faster than him unfortunately. You don't get made captain at 21 if you're not good. Hoping we send him on loan again next season to get regular game time.

also that's after we signed him, not before lol; Airpods had Castagne at Genk

Just got on here cause im an addict for arsenal news and discussions, anyone got a guide on how to use activity pub to browse and post comments on this community using mastodon?

path: 0 78641, hotness: undefined, score: 5, children: 2

thatdosbox 4 points 3 years ago

@vizhal007 @Mijn_Bergkamp it's a bit janky. You find the community by entering gunners@lemmy.world into the search box on mastodon, then following it.

You then see what's posted in your feed, and can reply to individual posts or their replies. You can't post on lemmy (as far as I can tell) from mastodon.

Sorry to hear that. It is definitely worth it whenever you get the chance, but perhaps it might be worth waiting a little bit to see if they announce a ps5 pro? Heard some rumours it isn't too far into the future.

sensiblepuffin 1 point 3 years ago

The problem is that unless people saw the post about Lemmy prior to the blackout, it's not likely that they'd find it on their own... I don't think we're going to see a huge growth spurt over the next few days
