!chess@feddit.org feddit.org/c/Chess
The existing chess community on lemmy.ml/c/chess seems to be dead, moderators are not reachable and is hosted on .ml which is defederated by many instances. Use this community for anything related to chess: news, memes, puzzles, guides, etc.
There is also the recent !woodpushers@quokk.au.
There are not enough active users on Lemmy/Piefed, there is obviously even less so that are playing chess. I’m not sure creating a new instance will solve that issue (I just joined, though ;)
Good to know, thanks. I do think having an obvious name is important when trying to grow a community, I have never heard of woodpusher before as a term for chess, so idk. But I’ll subscribe and check it out. I agree that the number of users is pretty low, so the chance of this failing is pretty high, but just wanted to try anyway :) Also the anarchy chess community at !anarchychess@sopuli.xyz does have over 6k subscribers and is at least a little bit active, so there should be some users around
It is probably not the name I would have picked myself (even though I qualify for it) , but it’s a classic, kinda ;)
You don’t have to check out the woodpusher community, there won’t be anything for you to see there. quokk.au defederated feddit.org a while ago.
