Indie game developer 🇨🇦
Working on some games for game jams in my free time
Admin of programming.dev and frontend developer for sublinks
Account has automation for some scheduled posts
Site: https://ategon.dev Socials: https://ategon.carrd.co/
Thanks everyone who volunteered, going to reach out to some people soon (will be prioritizing people with programming.dev accounts)
edit: modded adr1an and dwraf to start off since I like to start communities with two mods. They can choose what they want to do past that. Ill be the primary mod for a bit and then will transfer that to someone in the future
Since you mentioned not knowing if this is the right community. For any question where you dont know where it goes !no_stupid_questions@programming.dev usually catches everything. Theres also some other question coms at !cs_career_questions@programming.dev and !ask_experienced_devs@programming.dev but theyre more specific. I can leave this one here though, its fine (especially since theres a bunch of info here now)
If anyone still sees messages from the spammer in the comments let me know, federated removals are wonky sometimes
I mainly use linkstack https://linkstack.org/, git repo: https://github.com/LinkStackOrg/LinkStack
Theres an instance for the programming.dev instance if you want an example of how it looks https://me.programming.dev (weve got a space-like theme on it)
Theres been a bunch of activity and people joining in in the dev matrix already
Backend pretty much already has parity and the frontend is currently the main thing that an updated demo is waiting on but should be ready really soon
I’ve been designing an updated home page recently for it that I’ll be pushing out this week that looks miles better than lemmy-ui since I could do everything from scratch and thus quickly
Java spring for backend, Go for federation, Next.js for frontend
demo.sublinks.org has the backend with the lemmy-ui frontend to show api compatibility
Task list and progress is public on the github org https://github.com/orgs/sublinks/projects/1
Matrix space where all the devs talk is also public and you can see progress talked about in them
In terms of new tech stack currently theres sublinks being made by devs/admins of a bunch of instances (discuss.online, lemmy.world, programming.dev, etc.)
Its people from here which is people that fit both categories so would say it has some people that do non work programming
We have a discord and matrix community for programming.dev. Currently there isnt much there in terms of chatting about programming itself (mostly just things happening in the instance and lemmy) but there could be
Was bridged but the bridge broke so theyre temporarily disconnected https://discord.gg/3ZzW6dJxHR https://matrix.to/#/#p.d:matrix.org
There was some repeated patterns that this user seems to have been doing so I gave them an instance wide ban
if it has actual content that relates to the community then its allowed
if its paywalled though or doesnt relate to programming then can be removed (programming in a general term since this was voted to be a collector community for all programming content in the instance)
mod here, its not a bot. Just a user who doesnt like to comment
Thanks for merging in some of my changes <3
Code block support should be great for posts coming from programming.dev and the active user change should help communities feel a bit more alive and be more accurate to actual activity
Weve got a go community in the site that you might get some answers from rather than the general community here !golang@programming.dev
they start out easy and get harder as time goes on. Theyre intended for all levels due to that and theres two different difficulties per day (the harder one being unlocked when you do the easy one). Basically anyone can do day 1
Heres stats for how many people completed each day last year https://adventofcode.com/2022/stats
yep, you can do them anytime after theyre unlocked and you dont have to do all of them
with that there would need some way for people to have things to initially review to get the community started. Could do something like after the first 3 posts the point system goes into effect
Just created a community request post for it https://programming.dev/post/6295144
If anyone is interested upvote the request and if anyone wants to mod it let me know
Edit: community has been made at !code_review@programming.dev
Fediseer tends to be what most people use to track and list this sort of thing (and its whats used for this instance)
https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/censured?page=1
A lot of blocks people have are of mastodon instances as well so if youre only interested in thread content that probably needs to be taken into account as well since mastodon instances tend to have more people than lemmy instances
Its semi broken currently and also functions on a whitelist with this community not being on the whitelist
