College Football

Thanks for getting this all set up. I’m hoping we can have some fun together this fall.

Of course. I will not be able to survive the season without talking about it with some strangers on the Internet.

I also want to give a huge shout out to @[email protected] who is the admin and creator of this instance. He is the one who got the server running and made it possible for us to have a dedicated space on Lemmy for sports! I know that I set up this community but I wouldn’t have had the tools to do it without him.

I need flairs so I can easily identify who to be a dickhead to.

I’m with you! I need to know who to downvote regardless of what they’re saying and whether or not I agree with it.

In case anyone is unaware, this is not a feature supported by Lemmy but there appears to be a GitHub request entered for this to be added.

From one of the Lemmy developers on Jan 22:

I dont have any strong opinion on this. But it seems like a relatively complex feature, so it would be a good idea to write a proposal document first, before starting to implement it. Basically describing how it should work, how flairs get configured and chosen by users, also how they are federated.

In fact I think a process for "Lemmy Enhancement Proposals" could generally be useful for implementation of new major features. It would allow more people to participate in the design of new features, not only programmers. And it would help to clarify up front how certain aspects could be handled (eg moderation, federation). Finally the actual implementation work would be much easier if there is already a document telling how exactly it should work.

I don’t really have any set plans yet outside of game threads, but I will definitely add this to the list of ideas we want to implement this season. Thanks for the suggestion!
