Hi all,

How would you like to handle race weekends? AFAIK bots are not really there yet with Lemmy (please advise me if I’m wrong), so I can’t automate posts for each session.

Given the current size of the community, do we want / need separate posts for practice / qualifying / race / Post-Race posts?

What do you all want to see?

    Keeping FP1, FP2, FP3, Quali and Race in separate posts would make most sense for me. That way I would have less risks of spoilers. I’m always worried about spoilers since due to time zones and life constraints I usually watch F1 after everyone.

    No spoilers in thread titles would be a nice touch. On Reddit I actually avoided r/F1 until post race Monday.

    But whatever works for everyone.

      Seconding the desire for no spoilers in thread titles. I would avoid all of reddit before watching a race due to the tons of spoiler main title posts in the F1 subreddit. My GF also has voiced the same issue.

      A subreddit that does racing well is the velo subreddit for bicycle racing for a quick reference. On the velo subreddit I could comfortably go there when a race was over to check the pre race thread to check the stage and even click into that thread and see if anything important happened leading into the race before watching and then joining the post race thread.

      On a separate note I like having the meme F1 posts unrestricted but mostly separate from the main F1 channel. I like the split of the dank posting and love that community on Reddit so hopefully someone makes and manages that community too.

    I think separate threads makes sense even with the current community size. Mostly because they are different things. To me it just makes sense to have practice to be discussed in practice threads, qualy to be discussed in qualy threads. Maybe we don’t neeeed a post qualy thread, and then the race and post race threads.

    I like to start on a Friday with some beers for free practice, then start ramping up the edibles for quali, maybe a little bump of kanna.

    Race day is anything goes. Maybe some gin, with a little weed, more kanna.

    I like to experience the race in another dimension so I can watch the highlights on channel 4 (UK) and it all to be fresh and awesome on a Monday

    Capeesh?

    Or have I misunderstood
