The bot is now active, scanning and posting hourly with a content score cut off of 65. For now it's not configured to persist through sessions so I can keep an eye on it during early public testing. Let me know what you think.

Technically the bot isn't active here just yet but it will be very shortly. I thought this was as good a time as any to make the announcement, hopefully you found it funny and informative.

Once the bot is migrated from it's test environment it will begin posting content to this community. I thought about letting it pull in several days worth of content at once to show the range of what it can do, but I think a slower, less spammy launch is probably preferred by most of our federated neighbors. Like everything else I'm open to feedback on how much and how often the bot is posting. I suspect it will take a few active race weekends full of events to get things dialed in.

I hope to see you all in the comments of the upcoming bot posts! 💚

We're launching @[email protected], a new community bot that attempts to serve racing videos from series around the world. The bot tries to curate a YouTube feed of auto racing focused channels before posting the "best" content available to the community, focusing on racing and on-track content while filtering out filler and fluff pieces using our "Track Limits" system - we're still figuring out those limits before we start throwing the black and white flag.

Please note: BlueFlagBot is fresh off the sim and just bolted on the aero rakes. The bot may have some handling issues as we continue fine-tuning the setup and working out mechanical bugs.


What BlueFlagBot Is (And Isn't)

What it is: An attempt to curate racing content for the community

What it isn't:

  • Not a replacement for user posted content - the bot will be reconfigured as needed to better support users posting similar content
  • Not yet interactive - no good bot/bad bot style recognition yet, maybe in the future if needed
  • Not a finished product

Launch Features
  • Monitors 40+ auto racing classifications from around the world
  • Covers diverse events to interest long-time and casual fans alike
  • Prefers posting live events and on-track content over other video types
  • Tags all videos by series or classification for easy identification
  • Uses a content scoring system that scales with video availability to keep content interesting and on-topic
  • Configurable posting habits and series weighting to fit community needs
  • Attempts to avoid double posting content already shared by itself or community members

The bot uses a content filtering system designed to be flexible and adapt as the community grows and changes. We're learning the racing line as we go - it can limit videos to only live racing and full race replays, favor certain series over others, allow more casual content through, and adjust based on community needs as we dial in the setup.


What You Should Know About Today's Release
  • Early beta will likely contain bugs and require adjustments to fit the community
  • Bot availability may change without warning - disappearing and reappearing should be expected
  • Series being posted are always up for discussion and open for suggestion
  • Adding new series may take time but shouldn't be a problem
  • Feedback on any aspect of the bot is welcome

Help us improve: The bot scores each video out of 100 points to help tune content during the racing season and off-season periods on YouTube. The scores help us learn when track conditions are poor versus when a wheel nut hasn't been tightened properly. We're still working out the kinks in our pit strategy - leave feedback about series you'd like added, tagging system modifications, series you don't want to see, or other suggestions in the comments below.

Thanks for your patience during testing!

I really like this one and it seems very playable too. Hoping to get the rainbow version before the next set comes out.

Awesome, thanks for the great feedback!

Several of those series are covered with what I added to the bot initially. The others will take some time to get figured out and added, I'll put them on the list for the next round of major changes.

The bot is running and posting to a test community for the next several hours. If all goes well there I'll probably reconfigure it to post here sometime tomorrow.

GT World Challenge Europe

There are multiple GT series that will be monitored by the bot, glad I'm not the only one interested!

Otherwise WRC is shaping up to be a cracking season.

What I've seen so far has been great. Speaking of, I only have the bot set to monitor the official channel at the moment. Is it worth adding Dirtfish? I don't want to completely replace human posts and the bot is supposed to be smart enough to not double/repost if someone beats it to the punch. It can always be left off to start with and added later too.

Hi everyone,

I'm excited to share that I've been working on a bot to help keep our community active with regular content, and I'd love to get your thoughts on what racing series you're currently following or would like to see more coverage of. Since Lemmy is still growing and most motorsport content is pretty sparse across the platform, I'm particularly interested in hearing about series that you think would resonate well with our community or that you're personally passionate about.

I'll be sharing more details about how the bot works when I officially announce it, which should be within the next few days – if I can wait that long hahaha! It's already set up to pull content from many popular racing series worldwide, but I'm happy to add any specific series that our community members are interested in.

Thanks for taking the time to share your input – it really helps make this a better space for all of us.

Cheers!

The bot linked to the original version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1U9ycH4r_5E is actually the correct version of this song.

Yeah... They're addictive enough that I've considered making them myself but I'm so damn lazy. They're just seasoned with sea salt so there's no flavor surprises or tastes buried under excessive seasonings. The real surprise was how amazing the texture of the sprouts is when dehydrated. Some parts are light and crunchy like seaweed snacks, some parts are closer to crispy onion string texture, and the base is much more solid but still satisfying to eat. Occasionally one will be borderline inedible at the base so you have to be careful how carelessly you shovel them in. Or at least that's what I tell myself every time I destroy my jaw on one of them LMFAO.
