[Meta] Have your say on the future of c/formula1

3 years ago by itsmikeyd to c/formula1

Hello everyone,

Edit: Responses to the survey are now closed. Thank you for your feedback. I shall present the results soon.

I know, I know. It's another meta post from me!

I got some great feedback from you all regarding the race weekend post format. For Canada we shall trial one stickied post for the whole weekend. We can see how that goes and find out if it makes sense to be a little more granular.

This time I've set up a survey to give everyone a voice on what kind of content we should allow in this community.

The survey can be found here.

Any and all responses are welcome. Feel free to remain anonymous if you wish. I only really need your username if you're wanting to become a moderator. Please enter any mod experience in to the last question if so. I'm not necessarily looking for experienced mods, but it'll be great to know what experience you guys have.

I'll leave the survey up until Wednesday 14th, with a view to formalising the rules we wish to follow after the Canadian GP. I'll hopefully have mods on board prior to that as I'll likely not be able to moderate during the sessions where discussion is often at its most heated.

Thanks for your time all!

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 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.

yeah I love formuladank, but this community would eventually be overrun if memes are allowed

I like the different communities having different intentions

Yeah, with you on that. Fair play to Mikey for making us actually discuss and define our intentions though.

I love formuladank and my fellow degenerates but I also appreciate the main sub/community having a slightly more serious focus.

As someone who currently runs said formuladank community (hah), I am for splitting memes and serious content.

Luvs2Spuj 3 points 3 years ago

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.

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

itsmikeyd 4 points 3 years ago

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.

@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!

IgnisVizsla 2 points 3 years ago

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)

Ectra 1 point 3 years ago

I'd personally like to see live race and post race seperate for exactly that reason. Would like to know if comments made were from during the race or later (without having to look at timestamps)

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 registered my account on lemmy.world. But I don't know how much popular it is.

1000 users was reached today I think? But you have the whole fediverse to look at. Right now you're commenting at lemmy.ml

The lemmy.world people also run one of the larger Mastodon servers so I think they should stick around.

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.

Just wanted to say thanks, and hello everyone!

Regarding community guidelines, some r/formula1 rules were good ideas that ended up too rigid in actual practice (e.g. titles of posts for articles must exactly mirror the article headlines). Maybe we can retain the spirit (don’t editorialize) but have a little more flexibility?

Toliver182 5 points 3 years ago

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.
