Hey all,

Baseball season is almost upon us! For those of you who were around last year, you'll recall that @[email protected] 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 @[email protected] for keeping us going through the offseason! Offseason MVP right there!

Not all interactions are comments and replies.

Seeing the daily post with the details of the game is a great resource, just like it was on Reddit. Just because users don't have anything to say doesn't mean the posts are useless.

If you're looking to reduce the amount of bot traffic:

  • Don't need the "off day" post.
  • Don't really need the post game thread. (Can bots instead change the title of a post, uh, post post?)
  • Don't need play by play comments.

I agree with everything you said, including the bot traffic prioritization
