😆 sorry about that! Baseball season is still very much on.
This issue was caused by the websockets replacing the current thread you were on with newly updated or created posts. Our game threads get updated frequently so they were constantly popping up in people’s faces. We decreased the frequency of the updates pretty substantially in order to be less annoying to unrelated instances but it was still happening occasionally.
Now that we’re all through with websockets it won’t be an issue anymore!
Shameless plug for [email protected] (check out our sidebar for the team-specific communities). We’ve got the game bots ported over and are working on improving them and adding new features.
I agree with [email protected] though, the Venn diagram of sports fans and tech-savvy lemmy pioneers is pretty small. You can help by posting and commenting to attract more users. More content == more users (eventually).
