META: Introducing the NBA Game Day Bot - Lemmy.world

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 [https://lemmy.world/create_private_message/98250] We hope you enjoy it! The mod team 🏀 — A few NBA bot post examples: * DAILY DISCUSSION + GAME THREAD INDEX [2023-07-14] [https://lemmy.world/post/1472330] * Washington Wizards (1:2) Vs. Oklahoma City Thunder (2:1) - Fri, Jul 14, 16:30 EST | Summer League [https://lemmy.world/post/1481799] * The Sacramento Kings (2:2) defeat the Minnesota Timberwolves (1:3), 93-80 [https://lemmy.world/post/1455517]

Now we need more people commenting on game threads.
If you build it, they will come 🙂
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!
