  • yeah thats one of the possible options in the vote (option 1 is anything goes, option 2 is same but also guides people for their future posts on that topic after they posted something) if you want I can note one of those down as your vote

  • yeah all of the options allow cross posting but that last one is for forcing only crossposts. I can try to rewrite them in a bit with some examples. They are mutually exclusive though even though some have a bit similar rules

    edit: updated the post with some descriptions and examples in there to show whats allowed and disallowed

  • thanks noted it down

    yeah in the past ive tried to use different third party sites but havent found one that really works

    rcv123 is the best option but its very easy to cheat in it by opening a new browser. snowe has been setting up a native voting system in lemmy that we might be able to use eventually

  • thanks noted it down. You can delete that reply if you want if you want to keep your vote anonymous

    you can also give your second choice, third choice etc if you want if that doesnt get enough votes since its ranked voting (preferably in a dm to me to keep anonymity in the voting)

    sorry for the two deleted messages there, thought it was a dm in my notifs

  • sure, dont know how its going to work across applications and havent heard anything from them yet to my original post asking though

  • Non-general purpose posts

    Jump

  • That could work but one thing that would have to be figured out with that rule is what is categorized as interesting content as it tends to be pretty subjective so would be difficult to enforce if thats where the line is drawn

    For adding relevant programming communities in the sidebar pretty much every community in the instance is relevant but could be the general topic ones like game dev, web dev, etc.

  • sure, Ill add you in. If you send me a dm on matrix I can make a group chat for a mod chat (send secure message button on my profile if youre on web)

  • getting people who may not know where otherwise to post to then nudge them towards a more specific community for future ones

    an example of that would be the python post that was given as an example in the original post where they just asked how to do something in python here and since they were new they just did it in c/programming. Then someone told them about python and the next python help post they did they made in the python community instead

    edit: yeah

  • If I run a poll for the community on what we should do what should the options be?

    currently thinking

    1. move topic collection into a new community
    2. move general programming concepts into a new community
    3. keep both in this community

  • One of the things about this community is theres no dedicated mods yet (both snowe and I are admins) so it hasnt been getting as much moderation on its posts unless the posts get reported

    If someone wants to mod it let me know

    I definitely think it should be more general topics and the people collecting could be handled by random which I can adapt to fit that (since it isnt being used in its current form) + language specific things in the language channels

  • Is there a bot or service I can use to have an RSS feed auto-post to a Lemmy community that I moderate?

    Jump

  • Im currently making a bot for the programming.dev godot community that posts things from rss feeds. Still under construction but I can do a reply here when its done (source will be available on github for self hosting with your own feeds)

  • Weekly Discussion - Jun week 4, 2023

    Jump

  • Would it make sense to switch these to be weekly discussions and then just have them pinned for a week? At the activity level right now having them daily might drown out other posts

    Update: Edited the title to be weekly
