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.

    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.

      The community has voted for no spoilers in thread titles, but I won’t have the rules in place by the time th GP comes around, so I can’t promise it will be enforced by then.

        Sweet, I’m not sweating one grand prix weekend. But if it’s the overall rule, I’m a happy camper.

    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

    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.

      No discord please. It was ok for playing games but any kind of discussion is better to be asynchronous like on a forum

    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.
