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 🏀

      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

        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!
