It's hard to get decent discussions going when everything is drowned out in a deluge of game highlight posts every time there are top level games happening. This stuff is relevant, but to have each game represented by a top level post is not helpful.

I am strongly against this recommendation. The reason being that I am very happy with having one quick access post per top level game. That was one of the main features in r/soccer and I consider a luxury that we can have the same approach here in Lemmy.

Not having that will destroy the community for me.

What community? Nobody talks about anything here. There is a bot that posts stuff that nobody responds to. Also, in /r/soccer most of these game threads would be in a separate page, not on the main /r/soccer. Occasionally an outstanding goal or highly active game thread would make it to the main page, but most of the content was links to stories/analysis.

What community?

Stop having match threads and then you can rest assured no soccer community will ever form around here.

My comment was not about the bot but about the human (@Fer90Dar@lemmy.world) that post the match threads for everyone's benefit.

I am not sure what you call main r/soccer page or separate r/soccer. Perhaps something to do with how you browse reddit. I used to browse reddit with an app (RIF) and old.reddit.com and there was no such separation. Furthermore, they not only have match threads but also post-match threads, goal threads and sometimes threads for red cards, tackles, VAR... and so on.

Obviously we don't need all that around here but we need at least one post per match thread... That is the bare minimum to have, and that is why I remain strongly opposed to OP.

I read the original post as: one "megathread" per game. Maybe I misunderstood but one thread per game seems like a good idea to me.

Edit: nvm that's how it is now. I also think that can stay. A megathread of tons of games... Don't think that works and would just make things confusing.

Pinned mega could be good. Would look the same as the current board does.
