There's so many niche instances but I'm yet to see a football (soccer) or general sport one. Why is that?

There are a ton of them. Just a few examples for soccer:

!football@lemmy.ml !football@lemmy.world !manunuted@lemmy.ml !gunners@lemmy.world !reddevils@lemmy.world

For American football:

!nfl@lemmy.world !nfl@lemmy.ml !cfb@lemmy.world !cfb@fanaticus.social

There are specific communities for like every team’s fandom and every sport.

Those are communities. I'm talking about instances (servers)

I read too quickly. Sorry. Why are you looking for an instance, though? You get the data either way, right?

I just like how everything is so distributed and so together. Instances are like villages. There's like twenty pubs and they're all different but they all contribute to the town and of course the country. I love when I see a random instance I would've never discovered normally and then look around and find communities I would've never stumbled upon ordinarily.

I think fanaticus.social was created to be the sports instance, but it is fairly new so I'm not sure any communities hosted there has taken off. It is what you're looking for, though.

That's cool. Thanks!
