  • Introducing Link - A new bot for community suggestions

  • 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

  • The article on c/programming was about postgresql and the article on c/postgresql was about performance. Both were articles that could be crossposted to those communities and both are communities that need some more activity so the bot just lets the author and people who enjoy that post know about a community they may not otherwise know about.

    Based on firing without me tweaking it to remove that case its fired twice in the past two days, once today and once yesterday out of all of the posts posted to the instance which is barely anything and is nowhere close to spam. There was 46 posts in the instance total today and 85 in the past two days. Its also one comment that can easily be ignored and will be buried by other comments due to how lemmy's default comment sort works with putting newer comments at the top

    If you severely dislike the bot you can block it and you will no longer see those comments

    I leave this comment ulrik gave you

  • lemmy does have pinning yeah

    I wrote a bot awhile ago for post scheduling that you can find here https://github.com/Ategon/Lemmy-Frank-Bot

    I can add that in to be posted by the version of the bot ive got running

  • What Lemmy communities would you like to share that we may not know about?

    Jump

  • Hey, admin of programming.dev here

    Heres a nice selection of communities from various of the topic instances including ours that might be nice for most people

    • !science@mander.xyz - mander is the science and nature instance with this being one of their main communities
    • !programming@programming.dev - main community for the programming.dev instance which is the instance for programming
    • !gaming@lemmy.zip - main community for the lemmy.zip instance which has most of the game communities so far in lemmy
    • !software_gore@programming.dev - community that just got started up in programming.dev where you can post any software malfunctions you come across
    • !android@lemdro.id - main community in lemdro which is focused primarily around android

    edit, heres some more:

  • Linux Memes - A community for sharing memes and humor around linux

    Jump

  • list of ones in the top 180 instances we federate with that world doesnt:

    • beehaw
    • hexbear
    • lemmy.comfysnug.space
    • lemmygrad
    • lemmy.studio
    • alien.top

    of those beehaw and hexbear are the main big ones

    mainly created for redundancy though so we dont have to rely on world. Same reason we started out with !programmer_humor@programming.dev

  • I added code block support to lemmy-ui so if 0.19 comes out before then yes

    If not then no but I can try to figure out a solution

  • 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

  • Apache Allura: an open source implementation of a software forge

    Jump

  • It does add value, I just said what the value is. The bot isn't just something that points out the opensource community, it's for all communities and it just noticed here youre posting about open source which you are

    But yeah open-source is one of the communities I've posted less to recently cause I tend to not get things I can post to it from what I normally browse but I can add some more activity there. Been mainly focusing on building up the language communities and communities that don't even get posts in a week normally

  • Apache Allura: an open source implementation of a software forge

    Jump

  • I have two accounts, a mod account and a non mod account which I use to post called mac

    I've been posting a ton of content on various communities (and am the most active poster) but this bot is just to help guide people from things like the programming community to the more specific topic communities to help get those active since c/programming tends to have content that would fit in those and its supposed to be a collector community to filter people towards other communities due to lemmy having bad community discovery out of the instance

    I'll be tweaking the triggers and making it fire less based on what I see happening over time

    • that also didn't ping me btw, you need to include the @programming.dev at the end

  • What programming language will you be using in the upcoming advent of code?

    Jump

  • starts december 1st

  • Would it be possible to have more algorithms?

    Jump

  • sometime in the next couple weeks probably based on their last development update

  • Would it be possible to have more algorithms?

    Jump

  • Theres a new algorithm that should be coming in an update soon (I assume 0.19) called Scaled

    This is basically the hot algorithm but takes into account the monthly active users of the community so communities with less monthly active users show up more and arent dominated by the meme communities

    Would fix the issue you say there

  • What programming language will you be using in the upcoming advent of code?

    Jump

  • Ill start off with my choice. Been teaching myself rust recently so I can mess around with the lemmy backend so will likely attempt it using rust to practice it a bit more

  • What programming language will you be using in the upcoming advent of code?

    Jump

  • didnt realize I added the programming community to the communities that triggers the bot haha

    its relevant to this post but not crosspost relevant, will tweak the triggers

  • The user numbers in Lemmy communities don't add up

    Jump

  • users/day and users/week is from all instances. Only subscribers are from your own instance (so the other two comments are wrong)

    The reason is cause that only counts users who have either posted or commented and not those who have upvoted only
