It has occurred to me that Lemmy has a setting where you can filter out posts by bots, but the match threads will be now handled by a bot, so you might not see them.
Current match thread is here: https://lemmy.world/post/20562325?scrollToComments=true

Request added to the live queue, the Live Thread will be posted ~1h, 0min before kick-off.
couldn’t find a setting that let’s you whitelist only the match thead bot, so unfortunately, you will have to toggle to “Show bot accounts”
@LiveThreadBot@lemmy.world -queue -football reddevils@lemmy.world
Football_game queued up for posting in reddevils@lemmy.world:
Match-up Date Women’s game west ham united - manchester united 2024-10-27T14:00:00Z False
That’s a good idea! Will have to look into that toggle but it also probably depends on which Lemmy client you’re using.
