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.
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.
I think it is very hard to discuss the weekend without mentioning what happened… Maybe there is a better way of doing this. Maybe tags and filtering somehow? Or marking spoilers nsfw? Not sure what is possible in Lemmy.
Maybe having a set time amount between the end of a session before individual posts are allowed? Keep just a mega thread?
I think they maybe mean just don’t put the winner’s name in the post title?
so instead of the post saying “Max Verstappen wins the Canadian Grand Prix”, it would say “[Spoiler] wins the Canadian Grand Prix”
that way people could browse the general community and only have the result spoiled if they intentionally click on the discussion thread to read inside
in other communities I typically see a 24-hour no spoiler rule on post titles
Rawe Ceek?
YEEES PLEASSEEE
Previous discussion: https://lemmy.ml/post/1175942
I had gotten the impression from a mod comment in that thread we were likely to go with a single human-created race week post but they didn’t really post a comment concluding the discussion. I’m not sure I’d expect official threads to go up until Thursday when FP1 happens though.
For Canada, I can’t tell if https://lemmy.ml/post/1215865 became the unofficial race-week post or not. It’s certainly hopping in terms of comment count though.
I’m trying to figure out if this is now the major hub for F1 fans or if Discord OS winning—any numbers from either? I certainly prefer it here!
I tried out the discord and just found it wasn’t nearly as good for having a forum style discussion. It was basically a big group chat with everyone having their own conversations over each other without a real way of organizing them. I’m hoping this community here can be the new hub!
Yeah, I really hope this becomes the place. Anything we can do to encourage the Discord group to migrate here or to get r/Formula1 to update their blackout message?
We can probably share this community link in the off-topic channel on the discord. Not sure about the blackout message though (doesn’t actually even show on most mobile 3rd party apps like Apollo). I’m not certain where the Reddit F1 mods will fall in wanting to pull people out of the subreddit definitively.
Either way I agree, hoping we can make this a lively enough place.
They don’t have anywhere else to go. Discord isn’t the right tool. It’s flexible but nothing like Lemmy or Reddit.
Surely they will start to flock. We want big subs to start migration to keep the movement going.
there is also !formula1@lemmy.world
I subscribed to both just so I can get a general feel of each community
EDIT: I also found !formula1@kbin.social, so many choices in the fediverse!

I would also like to see discussion threads. Maybe not seperate ones for each session since the community is still small?
Yeah maybe we should keep them together a bit more. Although a separation of practice/quali/race is needed as a minimum imo
Sounds reasonable. What do the moderators think about this? I think they would be the ones to manage this stuff, as there is probably no bot yet, right?
There is no bot and no bot support, so one of us would need to be online to pin the thread. I think for quali and most race’s that should be easy enough, practice sessions could be more difficult depending on when the team are available and what time zone they are in
I sent you a DM that you’re now a mod and have invited you to the mod chat discord where we have been discussing bots 😁. Looks like it’s doable.
For some reason don’t have your DM!
