Sounds like a fun coding project. Go ahead and build it! I’m always in favor of more discoverability.
It also sounds like something that would belong on join-lemmy or another standalone service. Not sure where us instance admins come into play.

I think I would like a phone alert (I use android) on mornings when he’s scheduled to start. I guess I could use the MLB stats api to check every day but then what? Maybe an email?
IIRC we can now make a custom bootstrap theme for the site. If we have any CSS lurkers out there, now’s your time to shine!
Good thinking. I sent them all a message.
Thank you! Yeah I’d say my favorite communities on Reddit were r/baseball and the related team ones so when I saw they didn’t exist I created them and got to work on the game bot.
We obviously still need the content and the users to bring back the same feel as those Reddit communities but I hope by making the space I can sort of lower the barrier of entry to those who was to move in. That being said, let me know if you’re interested in modding a community!
RE: consolidating the other communities. There’s nothing I can really do about that. I know it may not seem like it but it’s actually a feature of the fediverse. The best I can do is provide the tools and content in my instance’s communities and hope the people follow!
Fanaticus admin here. I’ve been investigating reported issues where users on other instances aren’t able to find our communities. I’ve taken a number of steps already such as increasing our server resources (4x!) and federation workers (10x!).
I’m looking for some users on other instances to help me test out the federation issues. Please reach out to me if you’d like to help. Thanks!
?? What the hell?
Thank you! Don’t know if we have a fantasyhockey community yet but anyone can create new ones (see the top nav). If you create a community, you’re automatically appointed moderator.
Before exploring options, I think we need to define on what we need in our moderation tools.
RE: the options, SaaS’ing this mod tool seems like it goes against the spirit and philosophy of the fediverse. The devs are buried in core work and we need mod tools now.
You’re welcome! The sports subs were the pillar of reddit diet. I’m happy to bring it to the fediverse. LMK if you want to moderate any of the communities here or if you have any ideas to improve the site.
The best thing you can do as far as attracting new users and building the community is to not lurk! Post, comment, and like. As much fun as it is to lurk, we’ve all got to chip in to build this place up.
Bus-factor-2, let’s go! Welcome to the mod team 😁
Your wish is my command !redball@fanaticus.social
A blog would be a good idea. The more bots the better (as long as they’re useful!).
There is an official lemmy bot repository.
The game day bot (this post) is just a port from the reddit version, redball, written by this nice dude named toddrob. I forked it to create the bot you see here and am working on folding it back into main.
Thank you! This is still the beta version. I’m working on getting it ready for prime-time so all the sports threads have it.
with all NY watching 🤞
Sorry, I may be misunderstanding then. How will you integrate fediverser into the lemmy registration process? I don’t think I understand your vision here.
