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 ๐Ÿ˜ž we apologize for that, and we're already working on a fix

Edit 2: Fix is done and released, going to keep an eye on it in upcoming days


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 ๐ŸŽ‰

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 ๐Ÿ€

Now we need more people commenting on game threads.

If you build it, they will come ๐Ÿ™‚

We are living proof of that. We have the #1, #2, #3 most commented threads ever on kbin on m/MMA for our threads. People just show up.

Is there a github for the bot. We are looking for something like it on /c/football and /c/mls

[-] Barns@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Yes, I'm working on open sourcing it, it's just pretty hack-y (I'm not a python expert...) and very NBA-specific but I'll ping you when I do!

[-] IronRain@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Summer League threads are usually pretty low volume even on r/nba. Unfortunately, we missed the big-name free agency and trade deadlines to foster discussion, so the real foundation for this community will probably be opening week (pre-season is also low volume or a bunch of low-effort overreactions anyways).

[-] LostMyRedditLogin@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

True. It also hurts that teams are protecting their top ten picks after a few games. I would have liked to see more Wembanyama minutes.

[-] IronRain@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I hate the concept of resting your 20 year old draft picks. Some of these players - especially Wemby - need all the exposure and development they can get. That's why I loved Jabari Smith Jr's attitude about Summer League, and the fact that Max Christie has played every game so far!

[-] Barns@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Absolutely, I wanted to get it out before Summer League ends so we can find issues and get feedback from everyone, I fully expected the actual threads to be pretty quite

[-] IronRain@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I just want to say thanks for all the work you've put into this!
