As some of you may have seen, the community now has a match thread bot to help with automating creation and updating match threads.

The bot takes a request in the format -football football@lemmy.world Barcelona - Real Madrid and will look up to 6 days ahead for an upcoming match and add it to a queue. ~15 minutes before kick off it will make a post that it will continuously update with available score, stats and commentary.

To make a request you can either tag the bot or reply to one of the bot's comments. See the comments for an interaction example.

The bot will work in any community federated with lemmy.world so if you want to create a live thread in e.g. c/gunners you could make a request like this -football gunners@lemmy.world Arsenal - Tottenham Hotspur

Do note that the bot requires approval from a mod or admin to post in a community. So unless you're a mod/admin, you'll need to ask them to approve the bot via -mod_action whitelist gunners@lemmy.world or become a trusted user that can bypass the block -mod_action trust username@instance.com gunners@lemmy.world

For a more detailed and technical overview of the bot's capabilities, please check the readme in the gitlab repo: https://gitlab.com/UlrikHD/lemmy-match-thread-bot

I like how we're the example and I didn't even know about this bot till now. Might consider using this. Does it do women's football as well?

[–] UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If the game is casted on espn it is supported, which should be most professional leagues.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hmmm, don't see our next UWCL game on there. Maybe cuz it's qualifiers still.

[–] UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

This is their espn page https://www.espn.com/soccer/team?id=19973

I can see they got a game lined up 22. September, close to the bottom of the score page

Edit:

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

yeah, no, we've a game on Wednesday too.

@LiveThreadBot@lemmy.world -football Tottenham - Arsenal

[–] UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev 1 points 18 minutes ago

Haven't pushed it to repo yet, but this is currently the mapping for teams that may have their shorthand form requested instead of the name ESPN uses. Let me know if there's any other teams I should add

[–] UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Hmm, I should probably create a dict that links Tottenham to Tottenham Hotspur

Seems like it works now, what did you change?

[–] pisturko@lemy.lol 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

TBH, nothing. Just ran the command again :)

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

Maybe at first the bot didn't know about the community? But anyway, all good now :)
