There are a lot of communities, certainly a wide swath could use more signs of life than they have at present.
So far the only things coming close to Reddit live threads are political events and silly Fediverse drama.
We have some areas that see good discussion, you’re right that we are missing long, meaningful discussion chains, as long Lemmy chains are usually either two users arguing getting nowhere, or a classic Reddit-style meme chain (the “and my axe!” type of reply), otherwise you’re on [email protected]. Those don’t need to be any longer than they already are.
You aren’t the first to bring up sports, we have hockey and baseball “live threads”, but sports fans haven’t shown up in these parts en masse just yet.
