LiveThreadBot is now live

Update: To add or remove women's game's, you now need to add -w to the command. E.g. -football -w Barcelona - Liverpool or -remove -football -w Barcelona - Liverpool This is due to edge cases where men's and women's team share name and play against the same opponent on the same day. Women's match thread will also be marked with [Women's game] in the title.

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

This is a really neat bot, I hope c/football has enough traffic to create some good discussion in the match threads!

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?

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

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

UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev · 1 pts · 1y (1 reply)

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:

Good to see a nice a community for the SuperLig!

pisturko@lemy.lol · 2 pts · 1y

Thanks, I'm glad too, for having a bot that works with Süper Lig :)

You can whitelist the community (if you're a moderator or admin) with the command -mod_action whitelist superlig@lemy.lol

Edit: you also don't need to whitelist it to have it post threads there if you're a mod. If you're a mod you can make a request and it will post even if not whitelisted for general use.

pisturko@lemy.lol · 2 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Oh I thought the whitelist stuff was operated by bot owner. Makes sense now, thx.

UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev · 3 pts · 1y

I can do it, but I don't want to push the bot on other communities. Everything I as a bot Maintainer can do, admins/mods can also do.

Hello! I am a bot that can create live threads on lemmy.

I can be called by either tagging me in a comment or by replying to me.

Usage:

For all (optional) community@instance inputs, if none given, will assume the community the message is sent from.

-football community@instance(optional {home team} - {away team} - Sets up a game in the queue for live-thread creation. Thread is created ~16.0 min before kick-off. Defaults to football@lemmy.world if no community is given.

-remove {-sport} {community@instance}(optional) {home team} - {away team} - Removes a game queued for live-thread creation. Only available for requester, mods and admins.

-queue {-sport} {community@instance}(optional) - Lists the current live threads queued for posting.

-mod_action {command} {input} - Various mod actions to set rules for the bot.

admin_action {command} {input}

-message {message} - Sends a message to bot maintainer

Mod commands:

rules {community@instance}(optional) - Shows the rules applied to the community.

blacklist {community@instance}(optional) - Will no longer interact with community.

remove_blacklist {community@instance}(optional) - Will interact with the community again.

whitelist {community@instance}(optional) - Opens up the bot to post in the community.

remove_whitelist {community@instance}(optional) - Removes the community from the whitelist.

trust {username@instance} {community@instance}(optional) - Removes rate limit restrictions for the user, all mods are trusted users for their communities.

untrust {username@instance} {community@instance}(optional) - Removes the trusted status for the user, can not apply to mods in their communities.

ban {username@instance} {community@instance}(optional) - The user can no longer interact with the bot in the given community.

unban {username@instance} {community@instance}(optional) - The user is removed from the ban list for the given community.

Admin commands:

Same as mod commands, however admins can also add commands to their entire instance by using the format {-@instance}. Do note that community specific commands overrule instance-wide commands.
