Any recommendations?

Without opening a discussion about the conflict itself or justifying anything in the article, I will say that as someone who's been on the receiving end of an adult throwing 5-10 pounds rocks at full strength at them, I truly think you're underestimating the deadly damage it can cause.

This isn't a toddler throwing pebbles, such a rock hitting a human will break bones on contact and can absolutely kill of it hits someone's head

My bet would be on a European one, potentially German, where it would be 35 letters that look exactly like a cat barfed on the keyboard

My comment from another community:

Oh wow, I was there a few days ago and we could barely stay outside the car for more than 5 mins to take a few pictures. The heat was absolutely unbearable and at every corner there were warning signs literally saying "no hiking, you will die". I can't imagine someone going on a physically intensive activity like hiking there...

Is there a better post for this community? I think not

(disclaimer - I'm the mod that created the bot)

First of all, I really want to thank you and everyone in the comments for taking the time and sharing your thoughts and feedback. I don't take that lightly and truly appreciate it. I myself had similar concerns and thoughts and I would love for this to be a discussion towards the best solution for this community.

When I started working on the bot, I didn't have any "uber plan", I simply saw a few game threads created manually, a few post game threads and decided it could be a cool addition to the community if we could automate these. What I realized quickly were two aspects - One was that trying out the bot can only happen, well, when games are being played and that if I don't try it out before the summer league ends, I won't be able to test it until mid Oct-ish when the league starts. The 2nd one was that Summer League is a surprisingly busy period from a schedule pov, with about 6-8 games a day, every day. That meant that the bot will create quite a lot of activity ("noise") in its first days, in a mostly (the most?) quit time of the year. Today's actually the last day of games in the next few months so either way you won't see too much from the bot for the next 2-3 months.

Taking that into account, I decided to continue working on the bot mainly so we (the mods) could get your opinions and your feedback. I wanted to see what works, and what doesn't. What folks like, and what isn't great. In a few days, we found a bunch of issues and made many tweaks to how it works. It's much better today that only a week ago. As an aside, I've gotten quite a few asks to share the code with other communities, so I think all in all it was the right decision.

Having said all that, your key point I feel stands strong - we're not as big as r/nba and shouldn't try to mimic what's working there. I suggest that when the season starts in a few months, we re-evaluate how we want the bot to work - as it is now, in a limited capacity (single daily discussion thread?), or not at all. The ultimate goal is to encourage discussions, and if we, as a community feel the bot is not driving that (even holding it back), there's absolutely no reason for it to exist.

Hope this kind if makes sense? please share you thoughts as well

First of all, LOVE the app!

I'm wondering if there are plans to add push notifications on reply/DM? it'll be awesome not to need to check the app every time just to see if someone replied to my DM?

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

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 🎉

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 🏀

He saw one game from Wemby and decided he wants to stick around a bit more.

Seriously though, every nba fan should be happy to see this today, a league without Pop would not be the same.

YES, and please everyone, add "[SOLVED]" to post titles if you're posting about some technical problem and someone helped you figure it out.
