Grr, federation is broken. I'm going to be testing on that site, so you'll want to sign up over there, or on another instance. Lemmy.world is too unstable (and Cloudflare is doing weird things to some bots) to test here. https://fanaticus.social/c/redball
For anyone stumbling across this thread: discussion of the port of the Redball bot (the one used for most MLB an NFL threads on Reddit) can be found here for the latest news on the bot, and to provide any feedback.).

Do you want threads for every game in /c/nfl? It can probably be done, though that's kind of crazy...
Yeah, I was able to get it doing this in about an hour: https://fanaticus.social/post/248516
I'll get the rest of it cleaned up and we'll have it running on Saturday to see how it goes.
The code will be up on GitHub as soon as it is working. You can check in on [email protected] or [email protected] if you want to see what progress I'm making. I'm planning to get it working, then run it for the first preseason game. If it doesn't blow up, I'll point you to the code. I can also run the bot for your team (the code supports configuring multiple teams) if you want.
Let me see how fast I can bang it out - I don't see anything that needs to change except swapping API calls. The MLB bot is much more complex than the NFL one, so it should go smoothly.
On your edit, I was using old.lemmy.world which has a very broken inbox - I found your message about the baseball bot, but not NFL. Not sure why it didn't pop up in Memmy...we'll need to find something more reliable.
I ask because we've pretty much finished the Redball bot which does the Baseball threads, and expect the port of the existing NFL bot to go pretty smoothly. Let me know if you want to leverage that instead.
His mindset is stuck in the 60s, but whether or not that’s a good thing is a different debate.
