Created this community after seeing this thread over at !MLS@lemmy.world.
I am entirely new to the fediverse and not experienced at modding anything, so would be very grateful for mod volunteers, suggestions on community guidelines, alternative media to use for the site, sidebar content, or whatever!
I tossed up a banner image using a photo that I took from the CCL championship celebration / trophy lift, but any alternative free to use, higher quality image would be great.
Here’s hoping this is off to a good start!
Love that you’ve set this up. I’m thinking about trying to set up an RSS feed bot to repost Sounders content to the community: Sounders At Heart, Nos Audietus and the Seattle Times to start maybe? Would that be something we’d be interested in, just to jumpstart the community and get some content going?
I’m not opposed to giving it a try - I’ve been more or less doing that by hand. What do others think?
Whether it’s by hand or by bot, I do worry a little bit about drowning out user submitted posts as we get going. Over on some other communities it seems like user posts can be buried quickly under an avalanche of goal vids, for instance, but maybe that problem will self correct. Thoughts?
If you know how to set up bots, do you have any idea how we could get an automated match thread bot going?
I do. The general idea would be to grab a Google Cloud Platform free tier hobby server and deploy https://github.com/janschlatter/feddit-matchbot on it. I’ll try with !reign_fc and once I get it working, I’ll check back in about adding it here.
Sounds freat! I didn’t realize that you had started !reign_fc@lemmy.world - nice! Link added to the sidebar here and will be heading over that way for match threads for sure
