I hate it but to watch goal highlights I often find myself visiting R****t. They are usually the top upvoted posts. How can we get goals highlights more consistently in Lemmy?

We need somebody who records them and posts them otherwise we must simply copy the urls from Reddit lol

check out https://goals.zone

The site get the links from Reddit and present the goal highlights under matches.

Edit: goal.zone to goals.zone

Another one is https://m.allfootballapp.com

User usually post the goal highlights video links (although not very good quality in gif format).

Edit: all football.com to allfootballapp.com

Both pages up for sale, no content. Strange!?

My bad!

Links are corrected now.

I was trying to find an alternative yesterday. A bot used to post the goals here which was nice.

I was thinking of putting together a bot that would follow some of the uploaders on r*** and post their links here, but then again it's kind of a lot of work and with the reddit api changes I would have to work around with some parsing that's not the best, though doable

I will be working on a bot that will at least post match-threads when I find the time, though I am kinda busy so who knows when that will be.

I do remember seeing an API that could provide highlights as a link for free
