Hello head mod, I think @rezz@lemmy.world’s approach is the best with a single day thread for all the games considering the size of our community :-)
I also found out it’s not as easy running a bot on lemmy

Hey, we had a bot that broke at some point over the offseason and the creator isn’t interested in fixing it, do you have any interest in being modded to handle game threads going forward?

Yeah, it seems like a fair approach, if you’re up to the task I can mod you so that you can pin them though.

Sounds great! I’m definitely up for it :-) Though I would like to coordinate with @rezz@lemmy.world to avoid any potential double posts, since I really liked his format

Modded you, but yeah if you and rezz want to take the lead on that and figure it out go for it. I sent rezz I reply earlier about another bot that some of my other communities was using before that one also died, but I had to github link so maybe they will be able to figure it out

Do we have the GitHub of that bot? It worked great the first time. I’ll look into forking it if you can find it.

So the mod Barns made/ported the other NBA bot, the bot I was talking with someone about in my DMs was a different bot, but I believe it’s one that gets used on Reddit a lot that was ported here and stopped working. The user had it working on my Phillies sub for ~half the summer until it stopped.
The bot is called “redball” and it’s on github, I believe this is the link github.com/toddrob99/redball
Again, not the same exact bot as far as I’m aware, but it did work well when it was up, I think it was actually quite simply banned for spam posting & possibly not flagging itself as a bot and the owner of the account just got pissed off and didn’t want to work on it anymore at least on LW.

Yeah, I think they sent it to me in PMs when I was discussing trying to get it migrated to NFL, let me check and get back to you.
