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/

  • Yeah I reduced the amount of transparency on the post cards after this round of testing. Now only half transparent

  • ah yeah I havent looked into the configs too much. Not sure how it would deal with renames but you can ask in the lemmy matrix or something

  • for the backend yes

    frontend is a separate project but its using similar things to construct it so if its a vital feature it can be redone in lemmy-ui pretty quickly. Already gave them code block support for 0.18

    Yeah you can redirect or you can make lemmy.[something] and forum.[something] point towards the same ip or same port depending on how youve set it up (if you want lemmy.[something] to still work else you can just change it to forum)

  • yeah I can add in a post template to the guidelines. probably wont make it mandatory or else itll probably just end up annoying first time posters more than anything when their stuff gets removed

  • still semi fleshing it out but I think something like people adding on two links to posts they reviewed in the post requesting review

    or trying to plan out if theres a way I can automate it with a bot by commenting a certain thing on a post that requested review to mark that you reviewed it

  • 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

  • that only works for certain file types afaik. I know in 4.1 there was one time I messed with a files location and had to update manually, forget which file type it was though

  • Why is voyager.lemmy.ml a blocked instance ?

    Jump
  • "No connection to the Voyager app, it's a staging environment for Lemmy named re: Star Trek". Theyre saying its a staging area for lemmy itself not voyager

    its named after the tv series star trek voyager. theres also enterprise.lemmy.ml named after star trek enterprise

  • Why is voyager.lemmy.ml a blocked instance ?

    Jump
  • that exists in instances such as lemmit.online

    the issue with having that in the main communities is communication will be one way if you try to reply to that. Theres bots such as the l4s bot that is in the middle of the two that ocasionally cross-posts link posts that are popular though. Thats still controversial but can be easily blocked

  • note the programming.dev one has more subscribers (although both are around the same) and more activity now, lemmy just doesnt show accurate numbers in local instances

    hasnt had a chance to grow until recently since aoc hasnt happened yet

    if the admins in world dont get back to you if you want I can add you to the p.d one

  • Why is voyager.lemmy.ml a blocked instance ?

  • The testing instances were all blocked so that test posts didnt start populating the feeds

    the voyager instance also has no relation to the voyager app, its not a staging area for it

    if theres demand for a testing area we can make a testing community here and hide it from the feeds by default

  • You just need a post or comment in the community for lemmy to let me mod you

  • I am noticing where its posting and im adjusting it accordingly based on that

    I just didnt see a spot that has more comments than daily users as you said from the spots its posted to,but it has been posting to locations in general

    The suggestion there I have fixed. The C programming language isnt being suggested anymore and dotnet and C# dont suggest each other anymore. I usually delete or edit the bots messages to account for my tweaks but forgot to do so there due to it being one of the first so ill do that now, ill also go and do the same for the rest of the bots messages. I agree other people shouldnt need to clean it up which is why ive been doing so and will do the rest now

    again 1 comment occasionally isnt spam. This is just the same things over and over though in this chain so will stop on this chain. Just note I will clean up future bot messages and tweak it if it posts incorrectly which it should be doing much less now that its been refined. Other people shouldnt be needing to clean it up (if you call opting out as maintenance work its just one dm to send me and I can then deal with it) and it shouldnt be overwhelming communities. If I deem its been doing fine I can swap it to auto crosspost in the future although this doubles as leading people to post their future posts in that community without needing the bot

  • Ive been paying attention which is why I dont see the communities youre talking about (especially after ive tweaked things). If youre quoting the instance rules with that theres the rule #5 exception which can make bots transition to be opt out instead of opt in. If you want it removed from c++ node and cloud I can do that (I assume you do considering what youve been saying so will remove the three communities from the bots sight)

  • which communities? And triggering is relevant since by reducing how its triggered it reduces the about the comments it posts or as you like to call them spam

    Ive responded so many times at this point saying why its not spam and why they add value

    Just for you ill add a rule that it cant trigger on any of your posts

  • for node.js it seems like it was triggering on the .js which I just went through and removed so it should get barely any triggers now unless you explicitly mention something

    for that community message it sent you posted an article about graphql and about performance

    I made it not crosspost by default so I can tweak things and so people are guided for future posts. (and to prevent false positives while im tweaking things). Im purposely tweaking it to fire less and less and like I said im aiming to get it to fire on 2% of the posts

    again, block the bot if you dont want it
