Baseball

Pulled up shaking his arm after throwing a pitch. Doesn't look good.

A's fans planned a reverse boycott protest tonight to show that there's still a fanbase in Oakland and the team tanking is the reason they don't support the team recently.

The game day thread bot is alive!!! Sort of! Tomorrow for sure!

A surprising twist for sure!

It's very cool for highlights but is hard to follow when its live.

Here's another one of a K.

Good morning everyone! I'm going to start work today on creating a Game Day Bot for lemmy. If anyone has any experience with the existing GDBs on reddit, please reach out to me.

I've struggled to find the open-source version of the code for the r/baseball (and teams') bots and am planning on using this NHL one I found as a template.

It's not a lot of work but it would be a whole lot easier to just fork and update than write all the boiler plate from scratch. If someone could share the existing source code for the popular GDBs I will do just that so new mods can fork a lemmy-specific version.

However you've found fanaticus, welcome! I've created this lemmy instance to host the major sports subreddits and their related team communities.

About me

I'm a big baseball fan and mostly used reddit to access my favorite sports communities. I'm also a tech nerd and SWE by trade. I was pretty upset when reddit announced they were killing 3rd party apps but I decided that I'd use my skills and resources to do something. Be the change and all that.

About Fanaticus

When you arrive, you may have found that I've created all these empty communities with no content in them. I'm not trying to be an influencer or power-user or even a moderator. I'm simply trying to lower the barrier to entry to move existing communities off of reddit and to something that we own^1^. I think this will be especially important come black-out time next week and beyond.

Let me know if you're interested in moderating one of these communities I've created, or create your own! I don't care! As long as we keep this instance on topic (sports) then you're free to create and post as much as you'd like.

^1^ Regarding the "that we own" piece of that statement, I am more than willing (would actually prefer) if we, the sports social media community of this instance, created some sort of ownership/admin structure (e.g. non-profit) that removed me as the sole admin/server host of this instance. Seeing as there's no "we" on this instance at the moment, I think that's a conversation for the future (after all, this will probably fail!). But for trusts' sake, I just wanted to let you know what I'm thinking.

Is anyone interested in moderating our new baseball community?

I am looking to replicate r/baseball in both spirit and possibly literally copy it.
