Hello Jays fans! Finishing touches are coming together for my bot rewrite, and the new bots should be taking over tomorrow if all goes to plan. With that finally out of the way I can start to focus on adding to the community. By far the biggest request is for in-game linescore updates and highlights to be added to the game day threads. So that is going to be my next main focus. Good news is I don’t think it will take anywhere near as long for those updates.

I wanted to create this thread as a centralized place for the community to suggest, well, anything relating to the community. Rules changes, bot/feature requests, banner/sidebar/icon photos, etc. I created this community way back when because personally I couldn’t support that other site anymore, but I have no desire to rule this place with an iron fist. I encourage anyone and everyone to drop their suggestions here, and if enough of us agree with the changes, then I will do my best to implement them.

So far everyone here has been extremely respectful of each other, with lots of good discussion, and there has not been a need to add any more mods to the team as of yet(I haven’t needed to perform a single mod action on any community comments/content). But as the need arises, if there are any volunteers feel free to list yourselves in this thread as well, and I can potentially draw from that pool of people first.

My thanks to all of you! We have started a great community here, I look forward to it’s continued growth!

    So I created a test account on Kbin, and it seems the game threads are hidden for me too. I’m also not seeing any settings for the magazine subscription or in account settings to explicitly show bot content. I’m sure that has to be the problem, but I’m not sure what the solution is. I can untag the bot as a bot and pretend it’s not, but that’s not really fair to Lemmy users who use the bot toggle and do not want to see any bot content. I guess this is a question for the Lemmy.ca/Kbin admins, because I’m not sure what else would be stopping Kbin from seeing bot posts.

    Edit - Created a test account on lemmy.world as well, and the game day threads show up there without any fiddling around. So it does seem to be specific to Kbin unfortunately.

      I haven’t looked into this any further but I’ll try to investigate sometime and see if bot posts on Lemmy communities in general do not federate with Kbin at this time, or if this is an issue with this community specifically.

      I agree with you that it’s frustrating and I’m hoping this is something we can eventually fix. It makes sense to keep them tagged as bot posts on Lemmy - better to look for more of a long term solution.

        Hopefully we can figure this out sooner rather than later, I want you to be able to contribute to our game day threads! I’m not sure how to contact the Kbin admins directly, but I’ve made a post here to ask about it. So far no solutions.
