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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    It was discussed in this post.

    I think the conclusion was shared in this other post with the following quote:

    For Canada we shall trial one stickied post for the whole weekend. We can see how that goes and find out if it makes sense to be a little more granular.

      This is what we will be doing. I’ll reiterate it in a post tonight with the conclusion to the recent poll.
