Sorry if this has been discussed here before, I‘m a new reddit refugee and I just stumbled over this community, awesome that this place already exists again! I always enjoyed the discussion threads on the subreddit throughout a race weekend, so I was wondering if something similar will be done here? On the other hand, this community is still very small, so it may be a little overkill I guess. Looking forward to following my first GP through Lemmy either way - I‘ll see you all on Friday

The plan is to make a weekend a race discussion, I am working on getting a bot running to automate the process but as we get things going it will be manual.
As for race spoilers in titles we have not made a decision, May need to get a community vote going. I living in west coast US also dislike the spoilers but try to remember folks are pretty excited about their team winning. Not sure how I would vote at this time. Please think about it yourselves.

That’s a great question. Is On Sync sports mode a Bot? I never watched the races live. I tried a quick search but the reddits talking about it are still dark (woohoo).
Bots on Lemmy are still fairly sparse. We are working on configuring one now for general moderation.
They probably mean the Android app Sync for Reddit.
Ahh, I was an Apollo user on IOS. Thanks for the heads up
We shall be trialling a single post to cover the whole weekend of racing for the Grand Prix.
We are still a small community (though rapidly growing!) and we don’t have bots to do stuff for us (yet!).
If that doesn’t end up working, we’ll look at splitting it up further.
I’d like to add, as someone who has to time-shift watching the grand prix, I sure would appreciate not having the weekend spoiled in post titles. I literally had to unsubscribe and even filter out r/formula1 because they’d post spoilers in post titles.
Living in NZ means I watch most races on a Monday morning. I have a social media blackout until I have watched it. That works fine, and a little less time spent staring in the black mirror is good for the soul anyway.
