If you have been following my daily Kickoff Countdown threads, you will know that we are just over a month out from our first college football game of the 2023 season. We are quickly approaching 200 local subscribers (officially the second largest community on fanaticus.social) and it would be great to have a couple more mods here to help me out when the season starts.

If you are a current/past mod of r/cfb or if you are just willing to help me out with this community, please let me know. I am wanting to update the banner/logo before the season, so if you have some graphic design skills or ideas on what we can do please comment below!

I don’t know how much of r/cfb we want to bring over to Lemmy, i.e. user polls/banner updates/etc, but please feel free to tell us how you would like to see this community run for this upcoming season. We don’t have any set rules beyond the Fanaticus instance rules but we may want to start thinking about some before the season kicks off.

We should be able to get some game day bots running, but I don’t know if it is feasible at the moment to do every game for all 120+ FBS teams every week. We will have to share server resources with NFL and MLB game bots unless someone is willing to self-host their team’s game bot.

I look forward to hearing from any and all of you! Hopefully we can make this community a worthy r/cfb replacement!

    Thanks for getting this all set up. I’m hoping we can have some fun together this fall.

    Of course. I will not be able to survive the season without talking about it with some strangers on the Internet.

    I also want to give a huge shout out to @headie_sage@fanaticus.social who is the admin and creator of this instance. He is the one who got the server running and made it possible for us to have a dedicated space on Lemmy for sports! I know that I set up this community but I wouldn’t have had the tools to do it without him.
