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 🏀

Amazing!

Suggesting: Create a twitter bot that posts Woj/Charania tweets with >10K likes

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've thought about it but there are two issues - one is that Twitter (Elon...) just locked their API so the bot would need to use some hack to scrape the twitter pages (not impossible though). The other is that like you said, we don't want to post every Woj/Shams tweet but by the time the important ones reach 10k likes (or a similar filter), someone probably would post them here already so we'd be posting stake tweets...

not sure I have a solution for the 2nd problem, happy to hear opinions :)

Thank you for the explanation! Regarding the double-posting problem, I think that a check if tweet is already posted should be enough in most cases.
