  • Dont have access to those stats in the database so adding on voting is the best I can do

    Theres a post read table but its only people who have explicitly marked something as read and is way less than the post likes

  • Average Lemmy Active Users by Month

    Jump

  • For anybody interested, the monthly active users including voters is 131,150 (131k)

    The one in the graph only takes into account people who have made a post or comment

    Edit: The halfyear active users including voters is 253,166 (253k)

  • Average Lemmy Active Users by Month

  • I changed the algorithms in programming.dev to take into account voters in the activity. Since stats are all calculated locally you can view any community from programming.dev to get the monthly active users including that change

    e.g. https://programming.dev/c/technology@lemmy.world shows 27.8k users/month on p.d which is almost as much as the value here for all of lemmy excluding voters

  • Yeah tried to golf it a bit so its not very readable

    Seems like the site doesn't track characters though so won't do that for future days

    It basically just loops through every character on a line, if it's a number it sets last to that and if its not a number it checks if theres a substring starting on that point that equals one of the 10 strings that are numbers

  • Started a bit late due to setting up the thread and monitoring the leaderboard to open it up but still got it decently quick for having barely touched rust

    Probably able to get it down shorter so might revisit it

  • 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

  • Update: Ive make a new leaderboard with code 3316962-6587d422 that has a name that isnt just my username (for some reason AoC only lets the leaderboard be an account name) since theres not many people on it currently and so its easy to find when the events going on

    If you joined the last one rejoin this new one

  • Each country has their own date they celebrate thanksgiving on. In Canadas case its early october since that lines up with the end of the harvest season and it avoids cold weather that usually arrives end of october/november. Just assumed you asked the question cause most peoples thanksgiving just happened

  • I'm in canada so last week wasn't Thanksgiving for me, it was in October

    But it was pretty good, visited some family in Toronto

  • Yeah crunch in gamedev tends to be pretty bad. (Although there's also fun crunch in gamejams I bring upon myself but thats less of a job)

    The game industry in general is something I'm likely going to avoid for a primary job due to low pay and stress and just be something I do as a hobby. Been enjoying doing web dev in internships

  • Mid October Development Update - Pangora

    Jump

  • The issue is theres a large amount of things admins can do and you might not want to let people in charge of doing one task have access to something else

    E.g. you can have people only for application accepting and not let them edit the instance itself or communities, or only community management and can't do things like defederate from other instances

    Its more complicated than just an admin role but it shouldn't matter for people other than admins that its a mechanic

    Instances can make as many roles as they want so they can just have admin if they want though but this lets them make them as needed

  • Trending Communities for Tuesday 28th November 2023

    Jump

  • yeah should hopefully calm down tomorrow now that the initial jump is done and since youre doing it relative to what the values used to be so the values themselves shouldnt matter

    there might still be spikes from dead communities suddenly getting activity (since the increase from 0 is much larger those communities would go to the top of the list. Could artificially decrease large active user changes from the instance by taking the square root of the percent instead of the actual percent for percents above 100% (1) or something)

    Taking into account votes is going to be how the active users is handled for any instances running pangora (lemmy fork)

    Viewing the instance communities from another instance thats just using lemmy will show the old stats if needed though
