  • Should we block zerobytes.monster?

    Jump

  • We usually hide bot communities here which would include zerobytes but my hiding system recently broke a bit due to the 0.19 update so I haven't hid any recently

    I can fix that and hide the new communities that popped up

    (Hiding just means they dont show on the feeds by default but show for someone if they subscribe to them)

    Edit: Fixed the issues with my system and hid the main ones that appeared in the scaled feed, ill hide more as I see them

    Edit #2: There is also a way to block an instance like you said by going to your user settings and then the blocks tab on web but this is one case that should be getting handled by us

  • Deleted

    Happy New Year! Any status updates on this project?

    Jump

  • Should be able to write up something larger soon

    Ive been working on getting it merged in to another project (thats not been announced publicly yet) & been doing various things like markdown and some supporting sites (shields.io badges, recap, bot list)

  • Community health check-in | December 2023

    Jump

  • yeah the interaction per content ratio is extremely high

    c/programming was also considered lively last month since it got a bit of a boost from some posts but now its a bit under. Nothing else is close to these two

  • Community health check-in | December 2023

    Jump

  • Yeah, the 1 lively community is programmer humor

  • How does federation actually work?

    Jump

  • its fixable temporarily by restarting the server

    I just have a cron job set up to do that every day

  • Removed

    Can a Programmer Be Jobless?

    Jump

  • There was some repeated patterns that this user seems to have been doing so I gave them an instance wide ban

    • Posts would be deleted and then reposted (especially if the original post had a negative score)
    • Conflicting information in some of the articles
  • Removed

    GTA V source code has now leaked on Discord

    Jump

  • 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)

  • Removed

    GTA V source code has now leaked on Discord

    Jump

  • mod here, its not a bot. Just a user who doesnt like to comment

  • Can some explain to me how to create a community(subreddit) on lemmy?

    Jump

  • In programming.dev we have a community request zone at !community_request@programming.dev

    You can find info like this in the sidebar if youre on web (and there's going to be a support site made soon)

  • Self reported, no public way to get post reads, its just in the db

  • Exploding heads shut down awhile ago and moved to another platform not in the fediverse

  • Deleted

    Jump

  • For communities yes due to cross instance stats but for instances themselves (which the stats above is based on) no. You can just use post read times in addition to the three which will catch anyone who has read a post. Post reads are something each instance has access to for its users so it can do the unread comments feature but it doesn't federate (but each instance self reports stats on itself).

    Jump

  • the 2 million here includes the account bots that mass target open signup instances. (if an instance has no restrictions on signing up then they tend to make 8k accounts or something on it). fedidb detects that and excludes it

  • Calculation for MAU changed so the old MAU and the new MAU cant really compared

    old one used to include commenters and posters while the new one has that and also votersboth are missing people who dont do any of these three actions though

  • Welcome to v0.19.1! New features guide

    Jump

  • Yeah setting that to monospace so browser determines it. Should just be two lines, one for each theme

    Pull request maybe coming late tomorrow and then it'll probably be in 0.19.2

  • Welcome to v0.19.1! New features guide

    Jump

  • 1 -> yep, to make it a certain language put that language after the first three backticks. For inline you can do it using curly braces after the second backtick with a dot and then the language in it

    ```abnfx=4```

     abnf
        
x=4

    `x=4`{.haskell}

    x=4{.haskell}

    `x=4`{.js}

    x=4{.js}

    2-> https://www.npmjs.com/package/markdown-it-highlightjs is the specific one but its basically just a wrapper around highlightjs

    3 -> unknown, I didnt mess around with that when implementing them and I dont think it supports it. edit: can probably be added manually by messing around with css. Ill do a pull request after my exams

  • Welcome to v0.19.1! New features guide

    Jump

  • Yeah that was the plan but had a security vulnerability just brought up so we pushed early

  • Any update on 0.19?

    Jump

  • There was some federation issues that are getting fixed plus a couple other bugs that need to get fixed before we update so site behavior doesnt break (e.g. show read posts not working). I assume we would update sometime after Christmas since 0.19.1 is in release clients and so we aren't dealing with maintenance over the holidays

    Edit: seems like 0.19.1 released today, still likely after Christmas due to the second reason and so that can be checked to make sure there's no issues still

  • [Closed] [Meta] Looking for mods for c/advent_of_code

    Jump

  • Alright ive modded you

    Heres my copy paste for the days (every day I switch the day and the title at the top (if I send it before the challenge drops I just do insert name here and then edit it later). When https://adventofcode.com/2023/stats hits 100 for both nums then I unlock the thread and put an edit at the bottom saying its unlocked

    (text here is slightly different since 0.19 dropped now so my warning about that is gone)

     
        
# Day 15: Lens Library

## Megathread guidelines
- Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
- You can send code in code blocks by using three backticks, the code, and then three backticks or use something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ if you prefer sending it through a URL

## FAQ
- What is this?: Here is a post with a large amount of details: https://programming.dev/post/6637268
- Where do I participate?: https://adventofcode.com/
- Is there a leaderboard for the community?: We have a programming.dev leaderboard with the info on how to join in this post: https://programming.dev/post/6631465

---

🔒 Thread is locked until there's at least 100 2 star entries on the global leaderboard

    I also add a link to the new post on the sidebar calendar when I post it

    Title is in the format

    🎄 - 2023 DAY 15 SOLUTIONS -🎄

    The title emojis ive been rotating through 7 different ones based on the day of the week, can see past days for ones ive used or you can do your own thing

    You should get options in the format

    When clicking on the three dots on a post (bar the local pin since thats admins only). Community pin pins it / unpins it and the lock locks / unlocks the thread to prevent people from posting in it

    Will unmod myself from here after I see its going fine

    (If I dont get a reply back by the stats hitting 100 for both puzzles today then ill just post the megathread to catch it for today)

  • 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
