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!
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!
