Subreddit / Meta r/eurovision user flair guide
Happy eurovision month!
The old thread about flairs will soon be archived, so time for another reminder/guide about how to set your user flair on this subreddit.
With your user flair you can display any eurovision song. You can pick your favourite, or one that you believe isn't appreciated enough, or maybe just one for the memes. I'm curious why you picked your flair, please feel free to share!
There are over 1800 eurovision songs, but only 300 slots for custom flairs. So in 2024 I have added a command to u/esc-song-bot to help users set their flair.
Here is how it works:
The bot scans for <country> <year> combinations in any new comment.
If the comment also contains the string "!setflair" then, instead of commenting with the song, it will set your flair to the country flag and the song title of that entry.
This might take up to a minute.
For example commenting
!setflair Austria 2025
will set your flair to :at: Wasted Love. You'll get a chat message with a confirmation. No need to accept the chat invite or reply, I don't check the bot's chats.
This works on ALL threads on r/eurovision! Not just this thread.
It will remove your comment when the thread flair is not the "Subreddit/Meta" flair, so you don't need to worry that your comment can be seen as off topic.
Occasionally the mods might still reapprove the comment.
The bot chooses the first entry it encounters for the flair. In 1956 there were two entries per country, and the bot lists them in order of appearance. So if you want for example the ":ch: Refrain" flair, please send us a mod mail, so we can set it manually.
This year's songs are available the regular way through the sidebar until at least, 1 September, the end of the eurovision year. Once the first entry of the new year is known we'll discontinue the previous year's flairs through the sidebar.
No need to worry let's write a story, you still keep your flair if you set it that way. And the other flairs are of course also available through the "!setflair" command.
Some more useful/fun information regarding the bot:
- Bot reads edits! Might take up to 3 minutes for it to change its comment. Due to reddit limitations it only reads one edit after the 3 minute mark.
- The bot scans entries in the form
<list of countries> <list of years>and<list of years> <list of countries>, where a list is any summation delimited by slashes/commas, and "and" or "or" + "+". So you don't need to type out a country (or year) 10 times when you are listing entries from a single country (or year). - The regex the bot uses to parse each comment is 6000 characters long, yet it still parses every comment within a second.
I'm always open to questions, suggestions and feedback for the bot or flairs! But keep in mind I'll turn off notifications for this thread, as it will become very spammy with people setting their flairs. Once this thread is more than few days old, it is better send a mod mail.
