Welcome to any and all Manchester United fans. I couldn't find a United community on here so figured I'd start one myself.

I'm quite open to suggestions as to how fans would like this community to be. My goal here is to make this a welcoming place for all fans to discuss and share news about our club. I've chucked some basic rules in the sidebar which will be developed as the community grows.

Feel free to start posting, GGMU!

Hello y'all! Fellow reddit refugee from r/reddevils here!

[-] RamesesKnibs@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Welcome! Feel free to share with anyone else who may be interested so we can grow our little community :)

I'm in absolute disbelief how much people have switched from supporting the blackout to standing up for corporations because 'they're a company they have to make a profit'. Capitalism has done a number on people...

At this point I don't even know what would be better, to keep the blackout going or to stop it, let reddit go through with the changes, and hope it dies.

I hope we can build this community same as we did with the reddit one.

It's interesting (to say the least) to see many are so aggressively against the blackouts. I'm guessing those people are ones who have only ever used the official Reddit app and just accept it. I've been a RIF user since before Reddit had an app. I installed the official app once and think I uninstalled it the same day because it's just horrible. I'm sure there will be a good number migrating over, especially when the third party apps are killed off. We just need to make sure everyone is aware that there is an alternative community.

I say we just get some more people here and let them shit post themselves to death in Reddit. The Reddit community will decrease when 3rd party apps die.

The problem isn't corporations trying to make a profit. The problem is corporations doing shitty things to make a profit.

Turning a free API into a paid one to cover costs and make profits isn't even that big of a deal. There are many paid APIs that are fairly priced. Except they had to make it prohibitively expensive to make most third party apps no longer viable

Hello everyone! Looks like Lemmy has some traction because of the Reddit protests. Hopefully we build on it with this community and United content.

Hi all! Yet another redfugee here!

It feels less toxic and I like it better here Many thanks to mods from r/reddevils though!

Let's keep it going on Lemmy!

[-] RamesesKnibs@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Welcome, I'm glad you like it!

[-] Sidiclei@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Hi everyone - mainly just lurk on Reddit but thought I’d say hello in here! Fuck the Glazers, bring on United.

[-] RamesesKnibs@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Hello, welcome!

[-] zsolaris@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Hello there!

Fuck the Glazers and fuck /u/spez :P

[-] RamesesKnibs@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I recognise that name! Welcome!

[-] zsolaris@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Figured I'd wander over after a few days outside touching grass, feeling the wind, etc. Nice to see another community of fans.

[-] Skyraptor7@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Hello Al, fellow former redditor here. I really hope we get a critical mass here and get an app soon. There are some rough edges but I am sure we can get them sorted out. Looking forward to sharing joys and disappointments with our matches in the coming season.

[-] detinu@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

There are a couple of apps out there, jerboa for Android and mlem (I think) for iPhone. They're extremely rough around the edges, but they'll get there.

Since I'm a UX Designer I might even play around to see how we can improve the apps.

Hi all. Weird how my feddit.uk instance wouldn't let me find this sub. Had to make a lemmy.world instance to get here. Anyway, we on for Mbappe or what?

[-] RamesesKnibs@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago
[-] LUHG_HANI@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

We wish. At this rate well end up with Mount and Pickford with the Glazers still in charge. Let's hope not.

[-] Mackerdaymia@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Good morning to my fello Redfugees. A great time to be alive, isn't it? City have cheated to a treble, Reddit are killing their platform and we're about to get Qatari ownership.

[-] RamesesKnibs@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

On bright side, fixtures just got released. Welcome, friend!

[-] crisisingot@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Really excited about this. R/reddevils was the only thing keeping me on Reddit so I'm really hoping this takes off.

Obligatory fuck Glazers
