Here's the relevant rule from /r/formula1, they ban spoilers for non-F1 series, but allow spoilers for F1:

Spoilers for other series must be properly marked

When posting about different racing series, do not include spoilers (who, when) in the title for a minimum of 24 hours after the event has ended, including spoilers that can be inferred/implied. Use spoiler tags where appropriate.

This only applies to other racing series. Fans of other series visiting r/formula1 shouldn't expect to see spoilers for other series here, but to avoid spoilers for Formula 1 itself, you will have to avoid the sub until you have caught up on the latest event.

I use multi-reddits and other filters to avoid /r/formula from quali/race day until I've caught up. I'm not sure what the options are on Lemmy. The only things I can think of are:

• Browse local (my account isn't on lemmy.ml where this community is)
• Block/unsub [email protected] at the start of race day and then unblock/resub once I'm caught up. That feels pretty icky.

On the one hand, it feels easy to avoid race result spoilers for 24h. You can have a post titled "Race Results" and put the results behind an nsfw tag. I do struggle with how to handle race events though. You really want useful titles like "Onboard for pit-lane speeding penalty" or "Red Bulls crash into each other" for events that happened during the race. I don't see a really sensible way to allow any posts about race events outside a race-discussion thread that don't result in a spoiler in the title.

I often watch races a day or two late, and while I'd appreciate this... it's not clear to me how to do it in a way that doesn't stop the vast majority of useful posts.
