Now that we're only 2 weeks out its time to stock up on face paint and cheap beer. But we're also setting up a new community here so I guess I'd like to just discuss expectations for Saturdays in the fall here on lemmy. We're still a pretty small community (~800 users now) and I would imagine many if not all of those users are r/cfb refugees. Personally I loved r/cfb's game threads as often my job keeps me from watching or listening to the game. So I could keep the game thread pulled up on my phone and the google score pills to check when I have a brief moment. Obviously changes to that work flow have brought me here but I would like to replicate that experience if possible. I also enjoyed some of the weekly threads (particularly trash talk Thursday) and the r/cfb poll. But recognize that at our size many of these will be pipe dreams for a few seasons.
I've gone ahead and created a poll through google sheets (bleugh) that should do fine for us as a small community. Note that this poll is far from fool proof, so please double check your submissions and don't break it if we can avoid it. Link to the poll here. Link to the results (which I'll post Fridays? Thursdays?) here.
If you have other ideas or tools for Saturdays post them or discuss them here. Speaking of, I want to make sure everyone knows of cfb.guide which is invaluable for scheduling your Saturday.
At this point one thread will likely be enough. Which is sad for me, I won't be able to see people bitching about pi 10 minutes later but whatever.
I haven't seen juan at all here
I saw @LW_NewModWanted is working through larger comms taking volunteers for absentee mods. Maybe they'll work down to our little corner.
