This is a community for the game of cricket. I don't know if there's one for bugs yet.

Can we start match threads here? (lemmy.ml)

The only thing I miss about reddit are the Live Match Threads during the match. With the ongoing Asia cup and CWC round the corner can we start hosting the threads here ? I know there are very few people in this community but let's start small, It felt so out of place watching the Ind vs Pak game without the match thread.

I have no idea how those were hosted, maybe there are programmers here who can write the bot for it like on reddit, else atleast initially we can create the thread manually. I genuinely think that the threads will help the community grow.

I did some research into writing a bot using python. Unfortunately I could not find any working libraries that gives you a list of upcoming matches+metadata. Please share if you know how to do it.

I am not aware of any such thing, but I'll look into it. The football/rugby subreddit does live match threads or we can see where the reddit match_bot gets the information from.

I want to see this too. In the rugby community on sh.itjust.works for the world cup, they're doing daily match threads to discuss all matches in the day. Obviously it would work differently here, but that works well for a small rugby community

Alright let's do one for the upcoming Asia Cup final then?

Well I was busy. I tuned in and shocked to see SL get all out for 50.
