It would be good if Lemmy had a "snooze community" feature where you could not see posts in any feeds for a specified amount of time. So basically on a race weekend you could snooze the community for 3 days or whatever and no posts would appear in your feed.

Edit: raised it as a feature enhancement on Lemmy's Githhub page, but was closed as the devs don't have enough time, which is fair enough.

I think this kind of rule would be a bad idea and result in this rare niche community that is actually active to die.

I've always felt these kinds of requests and rules are weird because it's to make up for someone's lack of self control to not watch social media. If your schedule or timezone is as such you can't watch it live, it would be weird that you can waste time on social media before you have time to watch the race or a summary.

You really need to put in effort to get spoiled by results here. You're not getting notifications from here like with news app.

No; if we have a delay on discussion, I think fewer people will come back a full day later to post.

If you're not seeing the race live, and want to avoid spoilers, don't open an app that contains an F1 feed. Whenever I miss a race, I avoid spoilers until I can find time to watch.

Given there is another f1 community, I subbed to this one as it isn't full of karma whores who spoil race results for upvotes. They add literally nothing to the discussion, and are adamant in their ability to be able to do so. I think this community should be different

I try to minimize spoilers with a "generic" race and post-race discussion topic, but i agree with @DV8@lemmy.world. If i can't see a race live i just don't touch my phone.

If we had spoiler tags it would would have been helpful. But unfortunately, like others said, if we start banning posts and users for spoilers, this small community will die.

Yeah I've already had race results spoiled by posts on here but idk how much it would help me sadly, BBC news keeps spoiling the results for me as soon as I wake up

I think it would be counterintuitive to cater to a small percentage of people who 1) didn't see it live and 2) are bothered by knowing the results early.

I think it would be more beneficial for users to take matters into their own hands.

For example, you can create another account and block the Formula 1 and Formuladank communities so you can browse without the risk of getting spoiled by a post going by your feed.

Then when you've seen it, switch back to your main.

Would your proposal only mean no posts that display race results in title or image within the first 24 hrs, or go further than that?

And does it need to be 24 hours? That's a long time. What is the longest period between ending time of a race and a normal waking up and watching a re-live look like? Here in Europe, I think with the Asian races it's like 5 hours tops.

Nah, let people discuss it. If you don't want to ruin the race result then don't open the app that tells you race results.
