Game Threads (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Hey everyone, welcome back.

Between the end of last season and now we had a bot that was working for gamethreads, but it's since stopped working and the owner is not really interested in getting it working again.

If anyone is capable of setting up another bot or has a working bot for game threads please contact me.

If not, I am looking to add moderators that are willing and able to get up game threads (and moderate them if needed).

On c/nfl we tried threads for every game and it simply isn't populated enough to have that many threads and everyone decided to just do a Thursday/Sunday/Monday thread. What does everyone think about maybe a weekly thread for all of the games or would you prefer game threads for each individual game? (if you check NFL and see an "NFL bot" account posting the game threads, it was supposed to be a bot, but we couldn't get it going and log in and post them manually from it).

Edit - And lastly, obviously, part of the point in modding whoever posts these is so that they can be pinned by the poster.

Daily threads for all games would be a good start. I think individual games would be too much and not get enough activity so combine them in to one per day.

What do you think of something basic like this?

Good! Can the bot make a reply to the thread with info for every game?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

So basically, Game Threads inside of the global game thread? I will work on it.

EDIT: Look at the structure of the parent comments in the thread above again. Like this?

Great work, just like that! Can you add basic info in the body of the post?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I will work on it for another day. I am not sourcing a feed yet.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That looks great. I wish we had more users to make dedicated game threads. That will have to do for now.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I really like the single thread for all the games.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think we need more content as possible, we could start making daily game threads. I'm not into bot, but if no one can take the task, I can try (no guarantee!)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Gotcha (and gotcha on the reply for the comment I just tagged you in). I agree about threads for every game, but it's definitely a lot of work to do manually, if we have people willing to do it I'm game though. I just can't personally commit to getting them all up

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Sorry I was not clear: I meant we could have a thread per day, with all the games

I will also take a crack at it if he's not willing, and take on mod duties to run it through my account or a second Bot-only account.

EDIT: I am adapting another bot from r/collegebasketball to see if I can get it to work with Lemmy. I won't have it up tonight. But hopefully soon.

I just learned it’s not as easy to run a bot like on reddit :-( I think your approach today is the most effective, by having a single day thread for all games and parent comments for each game

Moderator check, no idea if everyone I added back in June is still active, reply here if you're still around and still want to mod, if you don't reply within ~a week I'll assume you've moved on from LW and remove you.

Welcome back guys, time to start populate this place

Sorry, I was away for a bit, I've added you.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Seems like Vodka is the only active one.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So it would seem, would you like to be added as a mod? I see you active and working on game threads

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Go for it. I’ll hopefully have the bot better soon.
