Hey all,
Baseball season is almost upon us! For those of you who were around last year, you’ll recall that @cerevant@fanaticus.social and I ported over the redball baseball bot to Lemmy and subsequently created a bot for each team.
While that was a lot of fun to work on, not many people interacted in the gameday threads. This year, I am considering scaling back the game bots to an on-demand basis (although you’re certainly welcome to create your own!). For those communities that want a baseball bot for your team, let me know in this post and I’ll set it up. If you want to run your own and want some help with that, I can help you with that too. Let me know your thoughts! I am open to suggestions.
If you found your home team’s community is without a mod, let me know and I’ll turn over the keys. I’m really excited for this year’s season and am hoping we get a lot more participation and posting from all you lurkers!
Big shout out to @runwaylights@lemmy.world for keeping us going through the offseason! Offseason MVP right there!
Would love to have one in the Red Sox community!
You got it! What do you think of skipping the Pre-Game and Post-Game threads and just having a single Game thread? Just thinking that three posts a game is a little much. It might be good to consolidate until at least there’s more volume.
Yeah I think having just the game thread would be ok. Especially if the bot can update the score in a comment or something. Fantastic work by the way and thank you!
