Edit: so looks like there was an issue in the daily transition and the bot went crazy spamming the same daily index post over & over 😞 we apologize for that, and we’re already working on a fix
Hi everyone,
Happy to share that over the last days we have been working on a new Lemmy-native NBA Game Day Bot for this community, and today we activated it 🎉
Currently, our bot knows how to:
-
Create a Daily Discussion + Game Thread Index with a list of today’s games, start date, status and links to the Game Thread & Post-Game Thread (when available).
-
Create a Daily Game Thread for every game starting 15min before game start, keeping overall score and quarterly breakdown by team updated every minute, and when the game ends it adds the final score to the title.
-
Create a Post Game Thread for every game that ends with a detailed breakdown of team & player statistics.
You can see a few examples for these below, check them out.
We would also love to hear your feedback and suggestions, so feel free to post suggestions here or PM the bot directly
We hope you enjoy it!
The mod team 🏀
A few NBA bot post examples:
Wow this is nice! Can the comments be sorted by live where the comments are updated real time without refreshing?
That would be Lemmy functionality, not the bot’s, and I believe that’s currently not possible since Lemmy removed web sockets so the servers can’t “push” updates to the website in real time. You may remember that even on reddit it was an external site that was built to overcome the same limit…
I didnt know about that in Reddit. Is it because of security concerns? Would be nice to sort it out by live or something like slow mode
not security related but it creates additional load on the system. We can eventually look into building something similar.
