Update: To add or remove women’s game’s, you now need to add -w
to the command. E.g. -football -w Barcelona - Liverpool
or -remove -football -w Barcelona - Liverpool
This is due to edge cases where men’s and women’s team share name and play against the same opponent on the same day. Women’s match thread will also be marked with [Women’s game] in the title.
As some of you may have seen, the community now has a match thread bot to help with automating creation and updating match threads.
The bot takes a request in the format -football [email protected] Barcelona - Real Madrid
and will look up to 6 days ahead for an upcoming match and add it to a queue. ~15 minutes before kick off it will make a post that it will continuously update with available score, stats and commentary.
To make a request you can either tag the bot or reply to one of the bot’s comments. See the comments for an interaction example.
The bot will work in any community federated with lemmy.world so if you want to create a live thread in e.g. c/gunners you could make a request like this -football [email protected] Arsenal - Tottenham Hotspur
Do note that the bot requires approval from a mod or admin to post in a community. So unless you’re a mod/admin, you’ll need to ask them to approve the bot via -mod_action whitelist [email protected]
or become a trusted user that can bypass the block -mod_action trust [email protected] [email protected]
For a more detailed and technical overview of the bot’s capabilities, please check the readme in the gitlab repo: https://gitlab.com/UlrikHD/lemmy-match-thread-bot

@[email protected] you might want to have a look
The login error seems to have its root issue in a Python Lemmy API library. I’ve sent a pull request to fix the issue, but it may take a week or two for the maintainer to see it.
If the lemmy.world servers goes down in the meantime the bot will likely fail again, so just tag me again if the bot doesn’t respond within 15 minutes.
Great, thanks!
Thanks for the notifications, was a login error that kept the bot offline. Will look into fixing it.
It seems to be working now, I got messages in the other thread
