Obviously at the moment our community is quite small but I would imagine more folks will discover this place over the coming days and weeks. I’d like to share with you some ideas I have for the community and gauge your feedback, I’d also like to hear your own ideas too.
Journo Tier List
Over on Reddit, we had the tier list for reliable/non-reliable journalists. I was thinking of adopting the current tier list and then we can revise at the end of the current transfer window and every subsequent window. Thoughts?
Self-Posting
One thing I enjoyed on Reddit was the way content was managed. I was thinking we would do something similar in that the main page would be for News, Transfers, Announcements, etc, and then anything else could be contained in a Weekly Discussion Thread. The community is still in its first days so I don’t think a Daily thread would have much worth, but a Weekly one for self-posts, opinions and general discussion could be worth it. What do you think?
Match Threads & Lineups
A Match Thread will be posted on the morning of any given match day (UK time) and be pinned to the top. All match day discussion can take place in there. Lineup posts will be allowed providing they link directly to the club’s official lineup announcement. I won’t necessarily be on the lookout for these so whoever posts it first will get pinned and the others removed.
Mod Team
At the moment, it’s just me but I will be looking to bring at least one other person on board. Not necessarily straight away, but as the community grows, I definitely won’t be able to do everything myself. I would ideally like someone with a bit of modding experience. If you are interested, drop me a DM with what you’d bring to the team and I’ll start chatting with people once the position is available.
Any feedback you have for me would be most valuable, and I’d love to hear your suggestions too!
GGMU
Don’t know how bots work on lemmy, but would love to have the goal bot here! 😃
I am working on bots right now. Starting off with simple stuff to help moderate the sub. Goal bot’s definitely on the to do list.

Being a dev I’d love to contribute in any way I can for this exercise. Do let me know if y’all need some assistance. :)
Will do. Right now cleaning up some code to get things off the ground
Ah yeah, good suggestion! We are starting from scratch when it comes to bots so it may take some time but that would definitely be a good one to implement
Scratch meaning? To get all the goal clips is it? Just curious, how does that even work? A quick search on the internet I was able to come across this:
https://app.reddit-goalbot.com/ But this seems like a private version?
Just meaning we’re putting our own bots together and getting to grips with how they interact with the platform. Once we have a handle on basic bot tasks, we’ll start looking into the more complex ones, like the goalbot
