Nice to see Formula 1 on Lemmy! As long as I get my sessions and race day threads, I'll be happy.

MODERATORS
For this weekend we will experiment with a "Race weekend" thread. This community is small, but I'm seeing it grow rapidly. It feels like unnecessary administration currently to have a thread for each session, especially as I haven't had the chance to sit down and work on bots yet.
There several different ways we can go, so I'm going to experiment with the least granular, and become more granular as the community demands it.
I suggested exactly that in my response, probably should've read the comments first
I think one main thread combining live-race and post-race discussions should be good too ( plus it also makes it fun to see the juxtaposition of live race comments and those made with hindsight after its over lol)
@itsmikeyd This is new for everyone, if things don't work we pick ourselves up, see what went wrong and try and improve for next time!
Looking forward to this weekend!
I think it would be good to get some rules set in the side bar. I do quite like the separation that exists on Reddit between formula 1 news/discussion in the main subreddit and the memes on formuladank
Yeah, the rules will go in the sidebar as per the schedule defined in the OP with any luck.
If you like making fun of F1 (or other motorsports for that matter), visit !formuladank@lemmy.world
Heh, I also created a dank alternative because I couldn't find one

Not sure how I sub to yours, it doesn't come up in my search?
Edit. Found it, subbed. I think things take a while for subs to appear in search
I roughly think that until we reach critical mass, we shouldn't split too much the community. Maybe later we could ban memes, but for now I don't think we have too many content. On the piracy side, I think it should be a 0 piracy policy, to avoid any troubles. There are many communities dedicated to (motorsport) piracy on Reddit and certainly soon Lemmy, let them handle this.
Mostly endorse this though [!formuladank@lemmy.world](/c/formuladank@lemmy.world) already exists, and I am fairly terrified of this community turning into a memey shitposting nonsense-fest because that's considerably easier than substantive discussion. I voted to include most types of topics here, but let's support our sister sub for memes by adding them to the sidebar and letting them have that niche.
This is exactly what I put in the survey. If there is any ambitions to host AMA, there is no chance with piracy discussions allowed here.
Likewise, the most important thing for success here is growing the user base and engagement. We don't have enough content to justify separating memes yet. This would make sense at a later stage.
Honestly I am really excited, can't wait to see how the live race thread looks like here. It's been 10 years on reddit for me, it's time for a change
A double motive post, first wanted to make sure this is fine and I dont need to sign in. Second I wanted to see how easy posting a screenshot on lemmy was.
Now that we're free from the corporate overlords, I'm more interested in what happens /motorsportsreplays and /motorsportsstreams ... will they/can they be welcomed here?
There's nothing stopping anyone setting them up. The hard part is getting the content for them.
lol now with the recent drama with Lemmy.World (defederating from any communities that involve piracy) I'm not so sure the utopia is quite free from corporate overlords.
Love the small steps we’re taking to grow this community! Thanks for the work you’re putting in!
Nothing to add, just wanted to say thanks for the effort you are putting in.
Happy to see formula 1 on Lemmy! I'm gone from Reddit so race day I'll be refreshing here madly. 😃
It's going to be weird using a different website during a race. But I am here and ready.
Is it possible to be a mod if you're not on the lemmy.ml instance?
Yes, one of our mods is on another instance already.
Great Idea to do a survey!
Testing if I can post here. Sorry for the spam.
Yeah, my subscribe is still pending. Can I even comment?
