Sorry if this has been discussed here before, I‘m a new reddit refugee and I just stumbled over this community, awesome that this place already exists again! I always enjoyed the discussion threads on the subreddit throughout a race weekend, so I was wondering if something similar will be done here? On the other hand, this community is still very small, so it may be a little overkill I guess. Looking forward to following my first GP through Lemmy either way - I‘ll see you all on Friday

    The plan is to make a weekend a race discussion, I am working on getting a bot running to automate the process but as we get things going it will be manual.

    As for race spoilers in titles we have not made a decision, May need to get a community vote going. I living in west coast US also dislike the spoilers but try to remember folks are pretty excited about their team winning. Not sure how I would vote at this time. Please think about it yourselves.

        That’s a great question. Is On Sync sports mode a Bot? I never watched the races live. I tried a quick search but the reddits talking about it are still dark (woohoo).

        Bots on Lemmy are still fairly sparse. We are working on configuring one now for general moderation.

          I see someone else responsed already but yeah, I meant Sync for Reddit, which has a function that refreshes the comments thread by new every 15 seconds so it’s like a slow-chat. I like to have that side by side with the racestream
