Hello all! I'm (@cerevant@lemmy.world) currently working on the port of the NFL bot. I've done a quick conversion, but it is a bit tricky to fully test before a game goes live, so we'll give it a go for today's preseason game between the Texans and the Patriots.
You can follow along with the posts in this community. If you notice any problems, please leave a comment here.
[Edit: lemmy.world is not federating properly right now, so you'll need to access that community from another instance.]
If you are feeling daring and want to run this yourself, you can grab a copy of the lemmy-nfl branch from the Git repo linked in the sidebar.
Hello all!
Just a couple of updates from the bot front:
First, I finally got the game update comments working, and put in a more robust sticky post manager, so we won’t have 3 day old sticky posts. As always, let me know if you see something go wonky.
I’ve reconfigured the bot to go ahead and post the Game Thread when the Game Day Thread normally went up. It contains the same content, and we don’t have enough conversation to warrant two threads.
I’m thinking about doing something similar for the Postgame Thread - basically just keeping the Game thread and changing its title to reflect the outcome. I hesitate to do this because the Postgame thread gets the most upvotes, and if I just modify the title of the game thread, I don’t think it will pop up in your feed when the game is over. Let me know if you have any thoughts on this.
My next big project is to get the bot working for Eagles games. I’m a bit busy IRL right now, so I don’t know if I’ll get to it before preseason starts.
Go Phils!
edit: Oh, and I forgot to do this earlier - starting tomorrow, you should see the wild card standings and scoreboard in the Game Thread!
This is particularly infuriating:
I’m editing a (often lengthy), and I’ll switch to the browser to look something up or get a link to something I want to reference. When I return to the app, it does a force reload and returns to the home feed, losing not only my place, but the content of what I typed.

CLEVELAND -- The new guy at first base saw the pop fly soaring into foul territory. He confidently tracked it as he ranged toward the photographer’s pit near the visitor’s dugout, then jumped at the wall to snare the ball as he fell into the pit. He raised his glove

Bryce Harper has some fun with Trea Turner after he doesn't score from first on Harper's double.

The Wheel of Time season two trailer is coming soon, but in the meantime, we have three exclusive images from the trailer to overanalyze.
Hello!
I was wondering if lemmy.world has any bot restrictions / throttling behavior? I have a bot (ported from reddit) that is performing the same activities on lemmy.world and fanaticus.social, but I'm seeing different behavior: on LW posts aren't being featured correctly and comments aren't being added. I'm not seeing any significant configuration differences, and they are running the same code - Is there a server side explanation for this?
If you have any other suggestions for good bot lemmetiquette, I'd definitely like to hear them!
